Researchers, For The First Time, Discovered Microplastic In Freshly Fallen Snow In Antarctica. Scientists Found From Each Of The 19 Sampled Sites, An Avg. Of 29 Plastic Particles Per Litre Of Melted Snow. And Identified 13 Different Plastic Types–With The Most Common Plastic Being PET Plastic—Used Mostly In, E.g., Soft-Drink Bottles.

A New Study, Via Testing 22 Blood Samples, Has Detected, For The First Time, Tiny Particles Of Plastic In Human Blood. And Warn That The Microplastics Could Damage Human Cells. Half Of The Blood Samples Had Plastics From Drink Bottles, Another Third Had Plastics From Packaging Food. The Remaining Quarter Had Plastic From Shopping Bags.

The Southern Ocean, The Frigid Water Around Antarctica, Though Recognized By Many, Including Scientists, As One Of The Earth’s Ocean, Has Not Being Popularly Recognized Until Now. The National Geographic Society Wants To Officially Recognize It As The 5th Earth’s Ocean, An Addition To The Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, And Arctic Oceans.

The World’s Oceans Are Threatened By Pollution, Over Fishing And Climate Change. And To Help Protect Marine Life, With Focus On 10 British Overseas Territories, The UK Has Launched The “Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems” (BRUVS)—The World’s Largest Ocean Monitoring System. Hopefully, Its Collected Data Can Enhance Marine Protection.

Researchers Combined Two Enzymes, MHETase and PETase, To Create A Super Enzyme, Which Degrades Plastic 6X Faster Than The Previous Engineered Enzyme, PETase. This Innovation Has Implications In Quickly Degrading The Most Commonly Used Thermoplastics, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Which Takes 100s Of Years To Degrade In The Environment.

A Recent Study Shows That Plants Can Absorb Nanoplastics Via Their Roots. And The Plastics Could Block The Roots From Properly Absorbing Water; Prevent Plants From Growing Properly And Harming Seedling Development; Alter The Genetic Makeup Of Plants, Making It Impossible To Resist Disease. It’s Also Concerning Because We Eat Plants.

A New Study, Involving Five Men And Five Women, Is Stating That It Takes The Brain About 100-300 Milliseconds To Recognize A Familiar Song. The Study Result Is Indicative Of How Fast The Temporary Circuitry Is In The Brain, And Also The Deep Hold That Music Has On Our Memory, Which May Be Leveraged In Dementia Therapy.

Scientists Are Stating That Our Brain Decides What We See By Getting Rid Of Information That’s Distracting Or Less Useful, In Order To Make The More Relevant Inputs Stand Out. In Order Words, The Brain Lets Certain Kinds Of Stimuli, Based On E.g, Motion Or Brightness, To Automatically Capture Our Attention Relative To Rest. Hmm!

Many Tea Producers Use Polypropylene To Seal Their Bags, And Now Researchers Have Found That Brewing A Single Of These Tea Bags Could Shed About 11.6B Microplastics, And 3.1B Smaller Nanoplastics, Into The Cup–Amounts 1000sX Higher In Any Food Or Drinks Previously Discovered. Hopefully, The Micro-Nanoplastics Don’t Pose Any Health Risk!?

Ever Wondered Why Time Seems To Go Faster As One Gets Older. It’s Almost Like Before One Get Anything Done, The Day is Gone. Well, Adrian Bejan, An Engineer From Duke University, Attributed This To How Slow We Process Things, As We Get Older, Due To Our Aging Brain and Fatigued Eyes. Hmm!!

Interesting! A New App Could Help One Reduce Plastic Waste And Save Money. The App, “Tap,” Is The Google Map For Locating Water Fountains And Refill Stations. The App Also Allows Search For Unfiltered, Sparkling or Flavored Water. The App Can Be Used In Major Cities Like New York To New Delhi

I Was Going To Say I Told You Guys So. But This Study Is Too Inconclusive For Me To Begin To Mouth Off. A Recent Study Is Indicating That Microplastic Has Gotten Into The Human Body–A Shocker!? Unfortunately, The Study Was Done Using Only 8 Volunteers (Small Sample Size) From Different Countries.

With The Menacing Threat Posed By Plastic Wastes , The Companies, Such As Coke, Pepsi And Nestle, That Have Been Deemed Responsible, By Greenpeace, For Most Of The World’s Plastic Pollution May Want To Do More Including Changing Their Business Practices To Curb The Plastic Waste Menace.

Plastic Pollution May Seem To Be Spreading From Marine Life To Land Animals. A Recent Study Has Indicated That Certain Flying Insects, Like Mosquitoes, From The Larvae Stage, Are Able To Ingest Microplastics. These Insects May Then Transmit The Plastic Up The Food Chain As They Are Being Fed Upon. More Scary Stuff!

Another Victim Of The 300 Marine Animals, Comprising Dolphin, Sea Turtles, And Whales, That Die Annually From Plastic Pollution In Waters Of Thailand. Recently, 17 Pounds Of Plastics Including More Than 80 Plastic Bags Were Found In A Dead Whale. Something Very Urgent May Soon Be Done When Humans Start Dying From The Plastic Pollution.
