Plastic Blood01-04-2022 08:47
Spongy Iris★★★★☆ (1643)	Came across a study today... "The study, led by scientists at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, took blood samples from 22 donors and tested them for five different types of plastic. Plastic particles were found in 17 of the participants." The health consequences of this discovery are still unknown. I bet the biggest reason for plastic winding up in your blood is if it's burned, and you inhale its fumes. Maybe it is not a good idea to melt down and recycle plastic.

Xadoman ★★★★☆ (1035)	People also drink water from plastic bottles and the water pipes in homes are also made of plastic. Water is a good solvent and plastic slowly dissolves into the water.

This is not as new as one would thing because most adults have Teflon particles from pots and pans in them along with all sorts of environmental contaminants. This is natures way of incorporating and evolving to a new situation which is the same reason that dissolved salts in the body are identical to seawater

Spongy Iris★★★★☆ (1643)	Since 1980 there has been 1200 million tonnes of plastic incinerated or recycled. Prior to 1980, all plastic garbage went to landfill. That looks pretty significant. Numbers in tonnes: Plastic burned or recycled: 1,200,000,000 Weight of the atmosphere: 5,500,000 000,000,000

Small sample, preliminary study, instant apocalypse... We are exposed to all kinds of crap, everyday, always have. The environment we've been living in, was never pure, never paradise. We survive, because we are tolerant, and have the means to remove the stuff we don't need from our bodies.

sealover ★★★★☆ (1245)	"Maybe it is not a good idea to melt down and recycle plastic." My only disagreement with the statement is with the word "maybe". "Maybe" almost seems like a disclaimer. It is a TERRIBLE idea to melt down and recycle plastic! A very very bad idea that we should stop doing immediately. Even if it costs a few people their dangerous jobs recycling plastic! But it isn't INHALATION of plastic fumes or vapor that show up as "microplastics" in blood. Inhalation of plastic smoke is plenty bad for health, but it doesn't leave the size of microplastic particles that are found in blood. People are EATING and DRINKING them now. Some of them come off the plastic lining in cans or bottles. Some of them come off the plastic that IS the food or beverage container. That vomit-inducing vinegar smell when you take the lid off an empty plastic bottle that had time to go through some changes. Stuff leaches into food and water, and back up the food chain. Your salmon may not have as much mercury as you feared, but check out how much plastic those guys bioaccumulate now. So, I agree 100% that: "Maybe it is not a good idea to melt down and recycle plastic" Especially if the tiny fraction actually "recycled" provides justification to keep producing the other 95% that nobody even TRIES to recycle. Maybe it is not a good idea to produce plastic if it is going to get into the environment. We can't seem to stop ourselves from dumping it everywhere. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spongy Iris wrote: Came across a study today...

RE: How a biogeochemist can help with plastics.03-04-2022 05:43
sealover ★★★★☆ (1245)	How a biogeochemist can help with plastics. Some people believe that the abundance of anthropogenic plastic in the environment is harmful. I am one of them. I am also a biogeochemist who once intensively researched reductive dehalogenation of xenobiotics. DDT in particular. I know things most folks don't know about how we can use microorganisms to degrade stuff that everyone thought was NOT biodegradable. Not just theory. Done with fungi as well as bacteria. Ideally can be done with fungi AND bacteria in symbiosis. -------------------------------------------------------------- Spongy Iris wrote: sealover wrote: It isn't INHALATION of plastic fumes or vapor that show up as "microplastics" in blood.

The humic materials: syringaldehyde, catechol, and humic acid. Another search: Humic substances from different sources have the potential to act as environmental signals: adult worms migrated towards the humic material. This appears to be a genetically fixed property of adult worms since the animals, for countless generations, have not been in contact with humic substances. And another search: Humic acid is a chemical produced by decaying plants. People use it to make medicine. People take humic acid for stimulating the immune system and treating the flu (influenza), avian flu, swine flu, and other viral infections. How does it work? There isn't enough information available to know how humic acid works.

Nature is taking care of our 'garbage' just fine. The only problem, would be time, and you don't get instant gratification, or get to take credit for solving a non-issue. Humans don't actually create or destroy matter, energy, or anything else. We only change what nature provides, to a more useful form. Only God creates... Not sure why he created demon-spawned liberals, who are hell-bent on destroying all that is good.
RE: Humic Acids: Very Important to Soil Fertility.03-04-2022 20:29
sealover ★★★★☆ (1245)	Humic Acids: Very Important to Soil Fertility. There is no way to do humic acids justice in one short post. They are of HUGE significance to soil fertility. Humic acids usually provide about half that cation exchange capacity, most of the potassium and phosphorus, and nearly ALL the slow release nitrogen in soil. Without humic acids, soils can only produce high yields with anthropogenic chemotherapy assistance. Which further depletes the soil humic acids, in a vicious cycle. Indeed, we have been "substituting oil for soil". Using petrochemical based substitutes for the materials we have been depleting from the soil. As far as "humic materials" go, the list is very very long. As "catechol" was mentioned, it does deserve some attention. Catechol is a benzene ring with two adjacent hydroxyl groups. Catechol is an ortho dihydric phenolic acid. An organic acid capable of dissociating into protons and organic anions. Catechol has two hydroxyl groups in ortho position to each other. The perfect space between them to chelate a transition metal. The perfect distance between them to occupy anion exchanges sites and prevent the specific adsorption of phosphate. Or displace "fixed" phosphate into solution. Under acid soil conditions, iron, aluminum, manganese, and other metals in (oxy)hydroxide compounds form positively charged sites on their surface in regularly spaced positions - positions that are a perfect fit for catechol to block as a polydentate organic ligand. That "catechol moiety", two adjacent hydroxyl groups on a benzene ring, ortho dihydric phenolic acid... Many compounds besides pure catechol have the catechol moiety, and it is an important one in chemical ecology. Humic acids detoxify aluminum and prevent iron deficiency, among other things. Humic acids provide the cation exchange capacity to ensure adequate potassium, calcium, and magnesium for plant nutrition. Humic acids maximize the bioavailability of phosphate and preserve the reservoir of slow release nitrogen retained in organic form. If you get into the MEDICAL SCIENCE LITERATURE, there are plenty of reasons people are interested in polyphenols and humic acids. "How they work" in medical science is based on the same chemical properties that make them reactive in the biogeochemistry of soil and ground water. They are free radical scavengers, anti oxidants, chelating agents for transition metals, protein-complexing agents that deactivate enzymes, complexing agents with polydentate ligand binding sites, and precursors to even LARGER polymers as the humic acids undergo further oxidative coupling. But, first be aware of the vocabulary limitation. "Humic acid" is OPERATIONALLY DEFINED in chemical analysis. Everything that is insoluble in strong mineral acid as called "humic acid". Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can tell one a little about what "humic acid" really IS. They are GIGANTIC phenol carboxylic acids, with some lignin character. They are insoluble in acid, because the solubility of organic compounds capable of forming anions is HIGHLY pH DEPENDENT. Humic acids deserve a lot more attention, and they will be getting it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Spongy Iris wrote: sealover wrote: How a biogeochemist can help with plastics.

We don't have to try to pinpoint a definition of what it is. Remember, it's merely a concept that we imagine. Fossils don't burn. We don't use them for fuel. Lol. I was being ridiculous. IF we just eccept PLAUSIBILITY, we can easily jump to what we know, even if it is only our IMAGINATION. Of course fossils are useless as fuel, and of course we all know the term "fossil fuels" is referring to natural gas, coal and oil. However, use of that terminology only gives legs to the propaganda phrase that it is. Why give legs to propaganda?? Don't we have enough of it??
