More than 70,000 people were included in the register-based research. The scientists looked at the incidence of acute myeloid leukemia, which is a rare form of leukemia that has been associated with styrene exposure. In a population of this size, the researchers would statistically expect 10 patients to have the disease. Instead, they found 25 cases of the illness, leading them to conclude that the ingredient is even riskier than once believed.

They also found a fivefold ...

Mediterranean waters filled with microplastics from foam and fishing gear

July 22, 2019 -

Researchers from the University of Barcelona also found other types of microplastics, such as nylon polymers, polyurethane (PUR), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and fluorocarbon polymer. Interestingly, they also found particles of ship painting; this marks the first time plastic materials with marine origins are studied in the Mediterranean basin.The plastics come in ...

ANALYSIS: East Palestine “controlled explosion” released carcinogenic dioxins and a WWI choking agent

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-03-08-east-palestine-controlled-explosion-released-carcinogenic-dioxins.html

March 08, 2023 -

Contradicting an earlier report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declaring East Palestine air to be safe, the new report from researchers at Texas A&M University and Carnegie Mellon University identified "higher than normal" concentrations of at least nine potentially harmful chemicals:

– Acrolein

– Benzene

– Vinyl chloride

– Butadiene

– Naphthalene

– O-xylene

– Trichloroethylene

– Trichloroethane

– P-xylene

Air fresheners are filling cars with toxic air

https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-04-04-air-fresheners-are-filling-cars-with-toxic-air.html

April 04, 2019 -

Although most car air fresheners do not provide a list of ingredients on their packaging, nearly all contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are organic compounds that easily convert into gas or vapors.

From Tox Town:

“Volatile organic compounds are released from burning fuel, such as gasoline, wood, coal, or natural gas. They are also emitted from oil and gas fields and diesel exhaust. They are also released from solvents, paints, glues, and other products ...

Scientific report shows that East Palestine air has “higher than normal” concentrations of NINE toxic chemicals

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-03-02-east-palestine-air-high-concentrations-toxic-chemicals.html

March 02, 2023 -

Using their own mobile testing unit, the scientists have been collecting air samples near the site of the Norfolk Southern train crash. Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to reassure the public that East Palestine is safe.

While the nine detected chemicals are not necessarily an "immediate health concern," the experts warn that repeated and continued exposure to them over a prolonged period of time could damage people's health.

A new metal-organic framework could help reduce carbon emissions produced by the petrochemical industry

https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-04-14-a-new-metal-organic-framework-could-help-reduce-carbon-emissions-petrochemical-industy.html

April 14, 2018 -

One of the most important challenges in the chemical and petrochemical industries is segregating molecules in an energy-efficient method. In fact, the separation processes make up for nearly 40 percent of the energy consumed in the petrochemical industry. Thus, reducing the use of energy in the separation processes can help reduce carbon emissions.

Propylene is one of the most significant products in the petrochemical industry as it is commonly used in fibers, foams, and ...

East Palestine air has higher-than-normal concentrations of 9 toxic chemicals, experts find

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-03-03-east-palestine-air-high-levels-toxic-chemicals.html

March 03, 2023 -

However, experts from Texas A&M and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have found that the air in East Palestine contains higher-than-normal concentrations of nine potentially harmful chemicals.

According to scientists, if the chemicals persist at the current levels, they could cause long-term health issues for residents. This finding directly contradicted EPA's persistent claim that the area's air quality is secure and "there is nothing to worry about at all." The EPA had ...

There are also shortages in packaging materials used to hold, transport and dispose of chemical additives. (See the full list below.)

As of right now, this critical supply chain shortage is being exclusively reported by Natural News. To our knowledge, no one in the corporate media has covered this issue, and even across the alt media, traction for this story has so far been minimal. As promised yesterday, we have been researching the supply chain for diesel engine oil additives, ...

Greener materials: Scientists use algae to make light carbon fibers that are as hard as steel

https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-02-15-greener-material-algae-for-light-carbon-fiber.html

February 15, 2021 -

In the algae technical facility at the Technical University of Munich in Germany, a team of researchers led by biotechnology professor Thomas Bruck found that algae could be used as an eco-friendly material for making polyacrylonitrile (PAN), the precursor for approximately 90 percent of today's carbon fiber production.

There is a great demand for carbon fiber in the aerospace and construction industries because it is lighter and stronger than steel. Unfortunately, ...

Researchers demonstrate how a novel membrane allows separation of hydrogen gas

https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-04-18-membrane-allows-selective-separation-of-hydrogen-gas.html

April 18, 2022 -

"Membrane separation is attractive as a low-cost hydrogen gas purification technology. However, current techniques face several challenges, for example, water-induced swelling with polymer membranes and lower hydrogen permeance with metal, polymer and supported liquid membranes," Iwamoto said.

The study wanted to address the challenges of efficiently separating hydrogen gas from a mixture of gasses (called "syngas") under different environmental conditions. A paper about ...

Watch what you eat: 5 Tips to help reduce your toxic plastic exposure in food and water

To limit your exposure to microplastics, take measures such as filtering the water you drink every day.What are microplastic and how do they form?

Microplastics can be found in items like skincare products, synthetic clothing fabric and toothpaste. Additionally, microplastics are formed when larger pieces of plastic break apart into minuscule beads.

Because microplastics aren't removed by wastewater treatment after they've been washed down the drain, they eventually ...
