A review published in the journal Current Environmental Health ...

Sharks are behaving strangely and plastic pollution could be to blame

July 10, 2023 -

Now, sharks are behaving strangely and plastic pollution in the ocean may be to blame.

There's so much plastic in the ocean and sharks may be ingesting microplastics that get into their systems and may alter their brain function.

This year’s Sharkfest series began on July 2, and the shows cover four weeks on different streaming services such as National Geographic, Nat Geo WILD, Nat Geo Mundo, Disney+, Hulu and ESPN2.

Report: People across America are routinely exposed to vinyl chloride pollution

April 28, 2023 -

It has been more than two months since a Norfolk Southern train transporting hazardous materials derailed and unleashed a deadly chemical cocktail of toxic contaminants, including a substance known to cause cancer called vinyl chloride. Air sampling data continues to show elevated levels of organochloride in the area. (Related: ENVIRO-TERROR in Ohio as TOXIC GAS CLOUD unleashed when "authorities" set fire to vinyl chloride to DISPERSE it over skies, farms and rivers.)

Ohio’s Chernobyl: Pollution from East Palestine still wreaking havoc in nearby Pennsylvania

14 days ago -

East Palestine's residents are not alone. In neighboring Pennsylvania, less than a mile to the east from the town, people are also describing a lackluster and frustrating response from the government at all levels, a lack of accountability from Norfolk Southern and extreme difficulties with reviving a sense of normalcy in a community where many are now developing health problems due to the train derailment. (Related: ANOTHER freight train derails in Pennsylvania, evacuations ordered....

Look out: USA Today is coming for your ‘pollution’-spewing lawn mower

May 04, 2023 -

(Article by Joseph Vazquez republished from NewsBusters.org)

No, we’re not kidding.

The liberal newspaper doom mongered how “[g]as leaf blowers and lawn mowers are shockingly bad for the planet” and praised how “[b]ans are beginning to spread.” USA Today immediately kicked off its nutty April 30 climate agitprop by making it seem like the fight against lawnmowers was a noble crusade against Thanos’ minions in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame (2019): “Your lawn may be the ...

New Biden EO creates office of “environmental justice” to fight “racist” pollution

April 25, 2023 -

According to the Biden regime, the EO will embed "environmental justice into the work of federal agencies to achieve real, measurable progress that communities can count on."

"For far too long, communities across our country have faced persistent environmental injustice through toxic pollution, underinvestment in infrastructure and critical services, and other disproportionate environmental harms often due to a legacy of racial discrimination including redlining," reads ...

Maine announces $65 million relief fund for organic farmers impacted by PFAS pollution

a month ago -

PFAS are common environmental pollutants dubbed "forever chemicals." These harmful chemicals are used to make different environmental and consumer products like firefighting foams and nonstick products. PFAS has long been a cause for concern due to its widespread presence in soil, water, food and even human blood.

For farming, one main source of PFAS is the use of sewage waste as fertilizer. During wastewater treatment, solids are separated from liquids, and the resulting ...

Noise pollution from offshore wind turbines could lead to the EXTINCTION OF WHALES

2 months ago -

On Feb. 18, 2022, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, also referred to as the National Marine Fisheries Service, released a story entitled "A Whale's World of Sound" which described how "sound" is critical to the health and well-being of cetaceans – whales, dolphins and porpoises – and other marine species. (Related: Renewable energy wind turbines are KILLING WHALES, documentary proves.)

For whales, exposure to "noises" can cause immediate effects, ...

Study: Air pollution could be linked to antibiotic resistance and infectious bacterial diseases

August 10, 2023 -

Details of the study were published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health. Antibiotic resistance and air pollution

With the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the whole world experienced the terrifying potential of new diseases to infect many people. The role that environmental changes play in worsening new diseases also became clear.

While research about the links between these factors is still ongoing, findings from recent studies suggest that there ...

TRUTH: Lab-grown “meat” produces 25x more carbon dioxide “pollution” than traditional animal husbandry

June 13, 2023 -

Every kilogram of lab-grown meat generates anywhere from 542 pounds (246 kg) to 3,325 pounds (1,508 kg) of CO2 emissions, rendering it anywhere from four to 25 times more harmful to the environment, based on global warming rhetoric, than conventional beef.

From "cradle to gate," as they call it, the process of culturing and growing fake meat in a lab is far more energy intensive than simply letting real animals roam on natural pastures eating grasses and producing meat ...

Study: Plastic pollution in some lakes is WORSE than the most contaminated parts of the oceans

July 30, 2023 -

Two types of lakes are particularly vulnerable to plastic contamination. The first type pertains to lakes and reservoirs in densely populated and urbanized areas. The second pertains to large lakes and reservoirs with elevated deposition areas, long-water retention times and high levels of environmental change caused or influenced by people – either directly or indirectly.

In the study published in the journal Nature, the authors led by researchers from the University of ...

Worse than smoking and alcohol: Air pollution is the “greatest global threat to human health,” warn scientists

September 05, 2023 -

More should be done to fight air pollution, experts say

Findings from a benchmark study suggest the growing threat is worsening in its global epicenter, South Asia.

However, the level of funding set aside to address air pollution is only a small fragment of the amount reserved for research on the prevention of infectious diseases, said researchers from the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC).

EPIC's Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) report ...

Global air pollution index calls Chicago’s air quality the WORST IN THE WORLD due to Canadian wildfire smoke

July 02, 2023 -

This is according to air quality monitoring site IQAir, which compared Chicago's air quality with 95 other cities around the world on Tuesday, including Jakarta, Lahore, Beijing and Delhi. The terrible air quality was blamed on the ongoing wildfires in Canada, coating much of Chicago and the surrounding areas in smoke. (Related: Canadian wildfire smoke continues to affect air quality in US cities.)

Illinois State Climatologist Trent Ford noted that the worldwide index is ...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rejects climate cultism, while expressing genuine alarm about stopping REAL pollution and ecological destruction

May 01, 2023 -

A longtime environmental activist of the sincerest kind, Kennedy is not the type of Democrat looking to take away your access to meat, force you to drive an electric car, or turn you transgender so you will stop having children and "save the planet." He is instead someone who respects the natural world and simply wants to preserve it, recognizing that it is a gift from God to be cherished and nurtured.

Recycling plastic turns out to be WORSE for the environment than just throwing it away… recycling SPREADS microplastics pollution

May 10, 2023 -

New research published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances casts a shadow of doubt on the merits of plastic recycling, which appear to be massively overblown and possibly even fraudulent.

To claim that recycling plastic helps to protect the environment is simply not true, the study essentially found. And the reason has to do with the generation of microplastics, which now pollute oceans, lakes, streams and rivers, and even farms where food is grown.

Following East Palestine train derailment, environmentalists push EPA to ban vinyl chloride

August 08, 2023 -

While the EPA limits vinyl chloride emissions below a certain threshold, the environmental leaders want the agency to ban vinyl chloride entirely because it causes cancer, among other things.

On July 27, the environmental leaders presented a petition signed by more than 27,000 people calling on the EPA to ban the chemical, which is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic for drinking water pipes, consumer product packaging, and children's toys.

Won’t get an mRNA jab? Fine. Yale scientists plan to force-vaccinate you with their new nanoparticle AIR VAX

October 03, 2023 -

The claim is that the so-called "Air Vax" has already been developed, allowing mad scientists to deliver mRNA into people's bodies via their lungs rather than their arms.

The mRNA in Air Vax is encapsulated into polymer nanoparticles that, following a study on mice, led researchers to declare that this "new method of delivery could 'radically change the way people are vaccinated.'"
