  1. #ICMM-CSIC Madrid’s Institute of Materials Science researchers created magnetic iron-oxide nanoflowers that trap PET #nanoplastics & turn them into tools to remove other water pollutants, supporting circular, advanced water treatment
    From plastic that pollutes water to a tool that helps clean it up. The study has been published in the Chemical Engineering Journal

  6. Key takeaway from the TEDx discussion:
    • growing health and environmental concerns associated with micro- and #nanoplastics
    #Health risks are increasingly documented
    • Public education can accelerate solutions

  7. Human beings are 50% to 75% water.

    Capitalism has contaminated 100% of the water on Earth with nanoplastics and PFAs, causing human fertility to plummet—and, almost certainly, the fertility of ALL life on Earth.

    So...?

  8. #allatra presented a new report built on 592 sources—one of the most comprehensive analyses of #nanoplastics risks for our #health. That scale of evidence should shape global policy & scientific cooperation worldwide.

     Between #Hawaii & #California #GPGP Great Pacific Garbage Patch - 2XTexas - largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world; bounded by a gyre - spinning circular current in the ocean - pulls trash towards the centre creating a garbage vortex “soup”
    1.8 trillion pieces of plastic = 80,000 tonnes.

  12. So Robert F. Kennedy Jr has decided to investigate microplastics and research ways to remove them from the human body.

    The human body. Not, apparently, the environment.

    Removing microplastics and nanoplastics from the human body but NOT from the environment would be like removing a cup of water from the ocean and declaring the world dry.

  13. Nanoplastics = invisible global risk.
    Join ALLATRA GRC at ChangeNOW Summit 2026 (Paris) for a workshop on this emerging threat and its impact on human health & the planet.

  14. #PolylacticAcid is a #biodegradable #plastic that can be broken down into oligomeric lactic acid (OLA) #nanoplastics. This study shows that OLA particles can accumulate in the #placenta & #fetus in pregnant mice, inducing placental vascular dysplasia & fetal growth restriction @PLOSBiology plos.io/4bR4e6W

  15. Kimchi probiotic helps remove nanoplastics from the intestine.

    A bacterium isolated from kimchi can bind to nanoplastics in the intestine and increase their elimination through feces, a Korean study suggests.
