COKED-UP JAWS: Florida sharks may be feasting on cocaine dumped into the sea by traffickers

July 27, 2023 -

Florida-based environmental engineer Dr. Tracy Fanara notes in a study that pollutants, including drugs, ending up in wastewater streams and natural bodies of water are adversely impacting aquatic life."If these cocaine bales are a point source of pollution, it’s very plausible [sharks] can be affected by this chemical," said Fanara. "Cocaine is so soluble that any of those packages open just a little, the structural integrity is destroyed and the drug is in ...

Study reveals many hair care products contain a potentially dangerous compound that can harm the environment and humans

January 08, 2024 -

In many countries, particularly those in the European Union (EU), the amount of D5 that can be used in products is limited because the compound has been found in aquatic ecosystems and marine life.

D5 also has lubricating properties. The ingredient gives a slippery and silky feeling when applied to the skin and hair, and it allows a product to spread more easily. This is why D5 is used in medical implants, lubricants, sealants and windshield coatings.

Russia plans to ban seafood imports from Japan following disposal of Fukushima radioactive wastewater into the ocean

September 28, 2023 -

This is according to a statement from the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor), Russia's main government food safety watchdog.

The current Russian proposal would ban all Japanese fish exports that are contaminated with radiation.

"Taking into account the possible risks of radiation ...

Widespread use of disinfectants and hand sanitizers (quaternary ammonium compounds) is fueling the asthma and infertility crisis

May 15, 2023 - aquatic ecosystems. Quats are toxic to freshwater and estuarine/marine algae. Studies also show that quats cause neural tube defects and bring about developmental issues in rodents. These mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction and hormone disruption inevitably pose threats to human health. As they are spread through the air and pumped onto children's hands routinely, these chemicals have become a public health threat, all on their own.

Study finds that chlorine dioxide destroys gender-bender herbicide atrazine in water

June 29, 2023 -

Chinese researchers from numerous prominent universities looked at solar-activated chlorine dioxide and other methods of cleansing and purifying contaminated water to make it safe for drinking. They highlighted new technologies that use advanced oxidation processes, or AOPs, with low energy input to address the presence of microcontaminants and the formation of disinfection byproducts, or DBPs.

They found that activating chlorine dioxide using solar energy, which they describe ...

Dr. Meryl Nass: WHO’s pandemic treaty to remove human rights, sovereignty under the pretext of pandemic preparedness and biosecurity agendas

Scientists from the Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) discovered the underwater mountain using a multi-beam echosounder on the Falkor research vessel.

Wendy Schmidt, co-founder and president of the SOI, said that during every expedition, researchers on the Falkor research vessel "have found the unexpected, ...

Food tyranny: NYC to monitor household food consumption as biotech companies take over food production

May 23, 2023 -

The government and biotech companies are seeking to control people's meat consumption and dietary choices.

To that end, New York City (NYC) is implementing new measures to track and reduce the carbon footprint associated with household food consumption. As part of a broader initiative to achieve a 33 percent reduction in carbon emissions from food by 2030, the city will monitor the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food consumption and set limits on the amount ...

PIRATES are attacking small boats along California coast

America’s food supply loaded with petrochemical pesticide and fertilizer residues linked to children’s health problems

April 28, 2023 -

The 168-page issue contains a review of last year's scientific, peer-reviewed articles, policy deficiencies, and action for change points concerning the prolific use of petrochemical pesticides and fertilizers in the conventional food supply, warning that these toxic substances are harming people, animals, and the environment.

Unless something is done to rein in all this chemical contamination, children will continue to get sick, biodiversity will vanish, and the world ...

Big Pharma wants livestock animals to be injected with mRNA, but Missouri, North Dakota, Idaho, Tennessee and Arizona are proposing legislation to stop it

Missouri was the first to break headlines on this front with the introduction of House Bill 1169, followed by similar bills filed in North Dakota, Tennessee, Arizona, and Idaho.

In Idaho, House Bill 154 would make it a misdemeanor offense for anyone to provide or administer a vaccine containing mRNA technology "for use in an individual or any other mammal in this state." In other words, mRNA tainted meat would become illegal in Idaho in the event that House Bill 154 is ...

New study: Exposure to PESTICIDES linked to METABOLIC DISORDERS like diabetes and obesity

October 06, 2023 -

The review published September in Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology analyzed 4,051 articles from the PubMed database. It found that even low levels of exposure from pesticides during pregnancy or childhood can lead to metabolic disorders like diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease and hypertension. (Related: Pesticide exposure in expectant mothers causes lower IQ in newborns.)

These toxic chemicals usually affect liver enzymes and lipid profiles. They also disrupt ...
