“When man walks on water, then you will know that plastic has no controls.”

“Attacks by orcas and dolphins are on the rise.
Why?
Not enough food? Ocean temperatures rising too quickly? I have another idea.
With the amount of plastic in the world's oceans the plastic will degenerate down into microplastics. Already these microplastics have entered all food chains and are to be found in soils, plants, animals and people.
What are these microplastics doing?
Well, we have no idea because not enough informed research has been carried out.
For me, I believe that the toxins contained within the plastics are causing neurological disorders in animals & people alike. It's causing more irrational behavior and aggression.
The orcas & dolphins are Apex predators, just as we are.
Coincidence?
Because man at present is doing some really irrational things.
Only time and more research will find out some truthful answers.”

“We were so quick to embrace new technology that enabled us to make plastic bottles.
It was faster!
It was cheaper!
It was a heathier alternative to recycling bottles.
The plastic drinking bottle had arrived.
But how many companies make plastic bottles?
How many did research to find out the heath pros and cons?
How many buried their findings so as to maximize profits?
Today microplastics are everywhere. In the oceans; in the air; in the food chains and in us.
There is nowhere where they aren't on this planet of ours and they even inhabit our blood streams.
Scary? It should be!
Because so much isn't known about the long term effects of microplastics on living organisms and if they really pose a serious threat.
The companies that make the bottles and all the plastics know some of the answers, but if we want them to start telling the truth, then we will need to start asking more serious and searching questions before we all become a plastic society in a plastic world.”

“Yes, microplastics can come from degrading plastics, no matter what their shape or form.
Micro plastics in the bloodstream would be most likely to come from ingestion; that is either by eating or drinking contaminated products as it then becomes easier to enter the bloodstream.
Other microplastics would enter the body by inhalation when we breathe.
In general, most of the microplastics, in the body, are the PET type (polyethylene terephthalate) which comes from drink bottles, food containers and food wrapping.
So we need to be more careful and stringent. If not, then we run the risk of truly becoming a plastic society.”

“When Flury looked at the plants under a confocal microscope, which shines lasers that make the fluorescent dye in the plastics glow, he found particles had attached to the roots but hadn't penetrated them. So this is worrisome in that plastics might be accumulating around the roots we eat-carrots, sweet potatoes, radishes but it's good news in that neither a fibrous nor taproot system seemed to uptake plastic into the plant itself, unlike how crops readily soak up nutrients like nitrogen and iron. "The plant has probably an incentive to take up an iron particle, whereas a plastic particle will not be used by the plant," says Flury. This contradicts previous lab studies on wheat and other crops, like beans and onions and lettuce, showing that roots do take up plastics. Over at ETH Z眉rich, analytical chemist Denise Mitrano took a different tack, tagging nanoplastics not with fluorescence but with the rare metal palladium. And instead of growing wheat in agar, she grew it hydroponically, exposing the growing plants to the "doped" particles. She could then track the nanoplastics as the wheat plants took them up into their roots and shoots. "We didn't let the wheat go to grains, so we don't know if the nanoplastic would eventually get into the food source, but it did go up further into the plant," says Mitrano. However, she didn't see any big changes in the physiology of the plants, like growth rate or chlorophyl production. "But we did see that it changed the root structure a bit and the cellular structure in the root, which would indicate that the plant was still under stress.”

“Mothers not only pass the harms of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on to their fetuses but on to even more distant generations. When a mother is exposed to EDCs, so too are her fetus's germ cells, which develop into eggs or sperm. "It's thought that during that exposure, the chemical can target those germ cells and do what we call reprogramming, or making epigenetic changes," says Flaws. "That can be a permanent change that gets carried through generations, because those germ cells will eventually be used to make the next generation, and those fetuses will have abnormal germ cells that would then go on to make the next generation." In the mid-20th century, scientists documented this in women who took a synthetic form of estrogen, called diethylstilbestrol or DES, to prevent miscarriages.? The drug worked as intended, and the women gave birth to healthy babies. But once some of those children hit puberty, the girls developed vaginal and breast cancer. The boys developed testicular cancer, and some suffered abnormal development of the penis. Scientists called them DES daughters and sons. "When those DES daughters and sons had children, we now have DES granddaughters and grandsons, and a lot of them have increased risk of those same cancers and reproductive problems," says Flaws. "Even though it was their great-grandmother that took DES and they don't have any DES in their system-their germ cells have been reprogramming, and they're passing down some of these disease traits." And now toxicologists are gathering evidence that mothers are passing microplastics and nanoplastics complete with EDCs and other toxic substances- to their fetuses. In 2021, scientists announced that they'd found microplastics in human placentas for the first time, both on the fetal side and maternal side.Later that year, another team of researchers found the same, and they also tested meconium-a newborn's first feces and discovered microplastic there too. Children are consuming microplastics, then, before they're even born.”

“Microplasticosis will be result of an invasive entity residing within all living things.
What is this entity?
Micro-plastics!
They're here right now in all food chains, within all life and beyond.
Will there be a cure?
Sadly, no because it will be in everything and everywhere.
We breathe them in. We ingest them. We cook with them. We drink them. We sleep with them & work with them each and every day.
Sadly, in our race to embrace technology and a life of laziness & indifference we have created our own demise.
They will change us and everything else in a way that we never thought possible.
Microplasticosis...Remember the name because you, your family, your friends, and even your pets will have it in some form or another.”

“Microplastics and nano-plastics are found everywhere in us and the environment. Now microplastics have been found in sediments which have not seen human habitation for hundreds of years. So how did they get there?
If both microplastics and nano-plastics can invade all of our bodily systems through pores and filters within the body, the same can be said for the natural filtering systems of different rock layers.
No difference from us except we think rock is rock is less able to do it because it's denser. The trouble is that rain is so contaminated with these plastics that they are carried through the rain into the ground water and the subsequently through the different rock layers.
So, now we have contaminated groundwater, not only from chemicals, but also plastics as well. And as you all know, we drink 'fresh' ground water because it's so natural.
Well, maybe not so natural now.”
