#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 -

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...?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch
(1)
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.

Why didn't people today inform enough about such risks as #nanoplastics? At ChangeNOW 2026, #allatra highlighted how #science must guide decisions for our security. https://www.fox44news.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/904017313/at-changenow-2026-in-paris-allatra-held-an-expert-workshop-on-the-global-risks-of-nanoplastics/

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.
