There’s a similar story with mechanical recycling, which compounds these additives that are toxic to humans into the recycled products in a process akin to bioaccumulation. In a plant designed for mechanical recycling, waste plastic undergoes shredding before it is liquified to b...
There often are tiny bits of plastic in the fish and shellfish we eat. Scientists are racing to figure out what that means for our health.

Some people have theorized that wind, water or other factors are responsible for moving litter through urban areas. This study, published in the journal Environmental Research, was the first of its kind to examine local litter in such close detail and identify that humans are the primary means ...
It is known that different P450 isoenzymes vary considerably in their ability to function primarily as a desulfurase (activation reaction) or a dearylase (detoxication reaction) with respect to fenitrothion (Levi et al., 1988), so that the specific isoenzyme pattern of the organism or the ...
SEATTLE (Scrap Monster:Recycling plastic can make it more toxic and should not be considered a solution to the pollution crisis, Greenpeace has warned before the latest round of negotiations for an international plastics treaty. “Plastics are inherently incompatible with a circular economy...
The PVC (polyvinyl chloride) toy dolls of the 1950s—and for the next 50 years after that—contained plasticizers that, over time, can degrade, discolor, and even become sticky. And the chemical compounds being released by an old PVC toy might be toxic to your toddler. ...
Men like Bill Gates want more of us to die. We are just carbon emitters to him who should get it all over with and stop breathing/polluting the atmosphere with our CO2. We are being pushed toward premature deaths from many directions. There is no end to the toxic attacks our bodies s...
Many investigations have linked synthetic ingredients and their properties to common health hazards. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and antimony trioxide, used as flame retardants in various plastics, can be bioaccumulative and toxic to both humans and the environment (Monneret, 2017; Schildroth...
A dehumidifier usually has a removable plastic bucket for a reservoir; most buckets also have a place where you can hook up a hose so the collected water can drain straight into a floor drain or pump. This frees you from having to remember to dump out the water. But don't worry too ...
