(Natural News) New research published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology reveals that in 2020 alone, some 74 metric tons of microplastics – that is, the plastic particulates released from waste into the environment – fell on the city of Auckland in New Zealand via rainfall. The first peer-reviewed study of its kind to […]

(Natural News) A study conducted by researchers from the University of Auckland in New Zealand found that Auckland’s atmosphere has 74 metric tons of microplastics – equivalent to three million plastic bottles per year. The research published in Environmental Science & Technology underlined the fact that the smallest particles called nanoplastics can enter cells, cross the blood-brain barrier and […]

(Natural News) A team of researchers discovered microplastics in samples taken near Antarctica, proving that plastic pollution in the South Pole is as bad as anywhere else on Earth. The researchers found these microplastics in the air, sea water and sea ice collected 1,060 to 1,740 feet under the surface of the Weddell Sea. These microplastics […]

(Natural News) Microplastic pollution is threatening coastal lagoons around the world, with lagoons in three areas being most affected. Researchers from Spain, Colombia and Chile issued this warning through a study set to be published later this year in Environmental Pollution. It named three lagoons – Lagos in Nigeria, Sakumo in Ghana and Bizerte in Tunisia – as among […]

(Natural News) Environmental pollutants and contaminants adulterate food and drinking water through various routes from farm to plate and pose serious threats to human health, according to a study published in the Journal of Toxicology. Some of these occur naturally in the environment (plant toxins), while others are artificially induced by humans (whether intentional or […]

(Natural News) We were warned that if we stayed on the path that we were on that we would eventually see mass extinctions all over the globe.  Unfortunately, nothing was done and now it is already happening.  The creatures that inhabit our oceans are dying off.  The insects are dying off.  The birds are dying […]

(Natural News) Alex Jones of InfoWars said government agencies in both the U.S. and the European Union (EU) are reporting unprecedented amounts of microplastics in human blood and tissue samples. In the June 23 episode of his show, Jones explained that a global program directed by the World Economic Forum to spray the food with trackable plastic […]

(Natural News) The amount of plastic waste worldwide is expected to almost triple over the next four decades if radical action is not taken to control the level of pollution. This was the warning issued by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in a new report released Friday, June 3. According to the […]

(Natural News) Authorities have espoused surgical face masks as a way to address the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) since the pandemic’s onset in 2020. However, a study found that these masks possibly introduced microplastic materials into human lungs. The study published on March 29 in Science of The Total Environment looked at the lung tissue of […]

(Natural News) Microplastics have been found to pick up pollution in their travels. Meaning, they pose an even greater threat to human health than previously thought. In the ocean, for instance, toxic compounds can hitch a ride on plastic and make it 10 times more toxic than it would normally be, according to new research from Tel Aviv […]
