Most of these are nanoparticles which have the potential to penetrate human cells and gain entry into bloodstream and major organs.
A new study found people are consuming a quarter million of tiny invisible pieces of plastic with every litre of bottled water - 10-100 times more than previously estimated.
One litre of water in a plastic bottle was found to contain an average of 240,000 particles, research published on Monday showed. Most of these are nanoparticles which have the potential to penetrate human cells and gain entry into the bloodstream and major organs.
The groundbreaking findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) journal, show the extent of plastic in bottled water which was highly undervalued in previous studies.
While microplastics have been found everywhere from the deepest points in the ocean to inside our bodies from as early as birth, each bottle was earlier believed to contain only 325 pieces on an average.
But this new study by researchers from Columbia shows the presence of plastic particles is approximately a hundred times more than that, challenging the previously accepted norms surrounding bottled water safety.
Most of these particles were coming from the bottle itself, according to the authors. These are particles that are less than a micron in size.
Researchers used five samples from three brands of bottled water in the US and found that plastic particle levels ranged from 110,000 to 400,000 per litre, averaging at around 240,000 from seven types of plastics.
The authors declined to mention which brands were used as samples.
Approximately 90 per cent of these particles were identified as nanoplastics and the rest were microplastics. Nanoparticles are less than one-seventieth the width of a human hair, so tiny they cannot be seen under a microscope.
Researchers had to invent a technology to quantify these tiny particles to be able to count and analyze the chemical structure of nanoparticles in bottled water.
While scientists knew nanoplastics existed in bottled water, Naixin Qian, a PhD student in chemistry at Columbia and the first author of the new paper said "before our study, people didn't have a precise number of how many".
Previous studies showed nanoparticles of plastics can enter cells and tissues in major organs, move through the bloodstream and spread potentially harmful synthetic chemicals in the body, reaching the blood, liver, and brain.
While the potential impacts of these nanoparticles are known, researchers are not sure whether these findings make bottled water more dangerous.
"That's currently under review. We don't know if it's dangerous or how dangerous," said study co-author Phoebe Stapleton, a toxicologist at Rutgers.
"We do know that they are getting into the tissues (of mammals, including people) ... and the current research is looking at what they're doing in the cells," study co-author Ms Stapleton said.

Birthgap - Childless World PART 1 (English Version)
The era of ultra-low birthrates has begun. But why are people having so few children these days? And what are the consequences ? Come on a journey of discovery across 24 countries to find the reason and also the future consequences for young and old alike.
Other reasons for the decline not mentioned in the documentary:
- The covid jabs
- Poisoning of humanity with toxins, microplastics, chemtrails, etc
- The war on the traditional family, religions and marriage.
- Dating apps and porn.
- Not liking nor approving of the state of things in general
- Consciousness evolution and ascension

The link between the massive drop in birth rates and mRNA vaccines is undeniable
Shouldn't the alarm bells be ringing? Why haven't the authorities long since swung into action to assure the public that a full independent public investigation is well underway?
Daily chemicals that are severely disrupting your hormones
To a critical ear, the silence is as deafening as it is worrying.
After 11 months of official reports of a sustained fall in the birth rate, the Swedish mainstream media have reacted. However, news reports omit any reference to a possible involvement of the elephant in the room: mRNA vaccines. So, what is the evidence that we should all have an opportunity to consider?

Climate Change dictates are self destructive - but also part of a bigger agenda
For many years we have been anticipating the implementation of far reaching and transformative restrictions on industry and agriculture in the name of "climate change" initiatives, and now it would seem the time has come for the fight to commence. The first major battleground is clearly Europe, as individual nations follow the emissions dictates if the centralized EU government, crushing their own economies while in the midst of a self induced energy crisis. It seems like madness, but there's a bigger agenda at play here.
Today, a farmer's rebellion is rising across Europe as the actual producers of the food that keeps the public alive are being demonized for refusing to work under conditions that would essentially bankrupt them. European emissions rules are not just about carbon, though that is a big focus. Rather, the rules include other natural gases including methane and nitrogen which are a byproduct of large farming operations. The nitrogen restrictions alone are set to destroy most farming operations in the Netherlands, which is one of the largest agricultural nations in the EU. Germany is set to follow the Netherlands with its own emissions rules in the near term.
First, it's important to ask "why now?" There are a host of reasons...

Global bird populations steadily declining
Staggering declines in bird populations are taking place around the world. So concludes a study from scientists at multiple institutions, published today in the journal Annual Review of Environment and Resources. Loss and degradation of natural habitats and direct overexploitation of many species are cited as the key threats to avian biodiversity. Climate change is identified as an emerging driver of bird population declines.
"We are now witnessing the first signs of a new wave of extinctions of continentally distributed bird species," says lead author Alexander Lees, senior lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom and also a research associate at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. "Avian diversity peaks globally in the tropics and it is there that we also find the highest number of threatened species."

Microplastic pollution has been discovered lodged deep in the lungs of living people for the first time
Particles discovered in tissue of 11 out of 13 patients undergoing surgery, with polypropylene and PET most common
Microplastic pollution has been discovered lodged deep in the lungs of living people for the first time. The particles were found in almost all the samples analysed.
The scientists said microplastic pollution was now ubiquitous across the planet, making human exposure unavoidable and meaning "there is an increasing concern regarding the hazards" to health.
Samples were taken from tissue removed from 13 patients undergoing surgery and microplastics were found in 11 cases. The most common particles were polypropylene, used in plastic packaging and pipes, and PET, used in bottles. Two previous studies had found microplastics at similarly high rates in lung tissue taken during autopsies.
People were already known to breathe in the tiny particles, as well as consuming them via food and water. Workers exposed to high levels of microplastics are also known to have developed disease.
Microplastics were detected in human blood for the first time in March, showing the particles can travel around the body and may lodge in organs. The impact on health is as yet unknown. But researchers are concerned as microplastics cause damage to human cells in the laboratory and air pollution particles are already known to enter the body and cause millions of early deaths a year.

Microplastics found in human blood
Scientists have discovered microplastics in human blood for the first time, warning that the ubiquitous particles could also be making their way into organs.
The tiny pieces of mostly invisible plastic have already been found almost everywhere else on Earth, from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains as well as in the air, soil and food chain.
A Dutch study published in the Environment International journal on Thursday examined blood samples from 22 anonymous, healthy volunteers and found microplastics in nearly 80 percent of them.
Half of the blood samples showed traces of PET plastic, widely used to make drink bottles, while more than a third had polystyrene, used for disposable food containers and many other products.

75% of Amazon rainforest shows signs of loss, a 'tipping point' of dieback, study shows
https://www.sott.net/article/465197-75-of-Amazon-rainforest-shows-signs-of-loss-a-tipping-point-of-dieback-study-shows
The Amazon rainforest may be nearing a "tipping point" of dieback, the point where rainforest will turn to savanna, a new study shows.
Signs of loss have been found in more than 75% of the rainforest since the early 2000s, according to research that outlines this troubling trend.
"Deforestation and climate change are likely the main drivers of this decline," said study co-author Niklas Boers, a professor at the Technical University of Munich.
Using satellite remote sensing data, researchers found what they call "resilience" — the ability to recover from events such as droughts or fires — has declined consistently in the vast majority of the Amazon rainforest.
Loss of resilience is most prominent in areas that are closer to human activity, as well as in those that receive less rainfall, the study said.
Overall, the Amazon rainforest is becoming much less resilient — raising the risk of widespread dieback, the research shows. "The rainforest can look more or less the same, yet it can be losing resilience — making it slower to recover from a major event like a drought," said study co-author Tim Lenton of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom.
The study was published Monday in the peer-reviewed British journal Nature Climate Change.
Experts believe the Amazon could soon reach a critical line, the crossing of which would trigger dieback and turn much of the forest to savanna. That would have major consequences for biodiversity, global carbon storage and climate change.
It is not clear when that point could be reached, but the study said the loss of resilience is "consistent" with an approaching watershed moment.
"The Amazon rainforest is a highly complex system, so it's very difficult to predict if and when a tipping point could be reached," said study lead author Chris Boulton, also of the University of Exeter.
"Many researchers have theorized that a tipping point could be reached, but our study provides vital empirical evidence that we are approaching that threshold," Boers said. "Many interlinked factors — including droughts, fires, deforestation, degradation and climate change — could combine to reduce resilience and trigger the crossing of a tipping point in the Amazon."
Tropical forests such as the Amazon play a crucial role in climate regulation, experts say.
The Amazon rainforest is biologically the richest region on Earth, hosting about 25% of global biodiversity, and it is a major contributor to the natural cycles required for the functioning of the planet, according to the environmental group Panthera.
"The Amazon is the largest tract of continuous rainforest on the planet, and it plays a critical role in the (Earth's) climate system," Laura Schneider, a geographer at Rutgers University, said in 2019, when devastating wildfires were scorching the forest.
One crucial role is absorbing carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping gas that's a significant cause of global warming.
"With nearly 100 billion tons of carbon stored in its trees, it keeps nearly 400 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere," said Daniel Nepstad, director of the Earth Innovation Institute, an organization that works to promote low-emission rural development.

Climate doom pantomime at Glasgow
Think of Glasgow as a costume party for the Uber rich and it all makes sense.
Everyone gets to hobnob, dress up in a Superhero prophet-of-doom outfit and pretend to save the world.
When the richest people in the world turn up, with PM's and Presidents, and even the Royals do live photo tweets — you know the dry UN science conference has turned into the unmissable Olympics of Social Events. Just being there is the fashion statement of the year.
comment by Winternights3 · about 11 hours ago
The pathway of tomorrow is already mapped out and in their hands.
It amounts to the dismantling of our rights, laws and beliefs of yesterday and the introduction of the new concept of tomorrow.
The financial institutions are spearheading this change and soon your money will be a distant memory and credit scoring will rule and govern the land.
What was once yours, will become a means of disciplining you for noncompliance and degrading you to the lowest of the low.
Those who have gathered in Glasgow almost certainly know this already, their as smug as smug can be and frankly they don't give a shit about what you think. Their parasitic, they feed endlessly off our good nature and enjoy watching you squirm.
To ensure that there can be NO rapprochement, those ultimately in control placed puppets in high authority and these gleefully bunch of idiots are now in Glasgow.
There are many agenda's, Covid was only the start of this torrid journey, Climate change will help them cement further changes that will shape our future.
There's worse to come, the dismantling of all natural processes like farming so that the food that we eat is controlled by the food chemical and pharmaceutical industries, they'll feed us their concoctions and further increase their profits whilst controlling what we eat to their own ends.
I was once called a conspiracist, no doubt that the way forward in ensuring the truth is deemed nonsensical and ridiculed.
Well those who called me that, can now eat their own words, along with the rest of the shit found on the supermarket shelves today.

227 environmental activists were murdered last year, a new report found - more than 4 people per week
The number is likely an undercount. Global Witness compiles its database using information that's publicly available online. But many cases likely go unreported, especially in countries with heavy suppression of media or with ongoing conflicts that make it difficult to parse out particular incidents.
For that reason, the report emphasizes that its figures are "only a partial picture" of these killings.
Killings are often linked to resource extraction
The largest number of murders (65 of them) happened in Colombia, followed by Mexico (30) and the Philippines (29). Those three countries together accounted for more than half of the killings in the report.
In cases where a perpetrator could be identified, hitmen carried out the most murders, killing a total of 89 activists. Militia or guerrilla groups were linked to 30 deaths, armed forces to 18, and police to 12.
Nearly 30% of the killings recorded had links to resource extraction like logging, mining, large-scale agriculture, and hydroelectric dams. Logging was linked to the most cases in the report — 23 deaths.
The report recommends that governments implement regulations to protect environmental activists, and that the United Nations "formally recognize the human right to a safe, healthy, and sustainable environment." It also implored businesses to evaluate their supply chains and operations in order to ensure they're not contributing to human-rights violations.
But Global Witness expects these death tolls to continue rising in the years to come as the climate crisis accelerates.

'Largely inaccurate tripe': Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth', fifteen years on
https://www.sott.net/article/458282-Largely-inaccurate-tripe-Al-Gores-An-Inconvenient-Truth-fifteen-years-on
Anyhow, I think we can all agree that Gore's claims are more outlandish than an Extinction Rebellion protest. But the climate alarmists are not stupid, and they have learnt from their mistakes. Although they have not toned down their hyperbole, they realised they needed a more convenient person to make these outlandish claims.
You see, Gore was the Greta of his day. The difference, however, was that Gore, as a former politician, was not impervious to criticism. The climate alarmists learnt that it is better to have a teenage schoolgirl, who is beyond reproach, as your mouthpiece rather than a crusty former politician. It's all very sinister when you think about it.
Nevertheless, it may be fifteen years on and many of Gore's claims have turned out to be hyperbolic hogwash, but that hasn't stopped the climate alarmists from making similar claims. And I really do hope I am around in fifteen years to write another piece about how the scare stories that emanate from Greta also amount to nothing. That is if I am not burnt to a crisp or under water by then, which, somehow, I very much doubt will be the case.
Al Gore's climate change movie was hailed as revolutionary a decade and a half ago when it was released to much fanfare but, in the intervening years, the truths have, inconveniently, turned out to not be truths at all.
I remember that when I became a member of the European Parliament's Environment Committee, over a decade ago now, I was sent a copy of both the DVD and the book. I think it was designed to be our Bible, especially when fear-mongering about global warming...which the committee did over and over again. I then stopped going.
But the movie wasn't just aimed at adults, or gullible MEPs, it was designed to scare our children. Schools around the world showed the movie and the complimentary book appeared in their libraries. As a result, children became terrified of the impending climate doom, which led to 'climate anxiety' and even now is giving our little ones sleepless nights.
However, the wheels quickly started to come off An Inconvenient Truth. In 2007, the High Court of England and Wales ruled that the film contained nine scientific inaccuracies relating to "the context of alarmism and exaggeration." From that point onwards, schools had to provide a counterbalance to the 'one sided' arguments contained in the film.
Anyway, I digress. I wanted to write this piece to mark the fifteenth anniversary of An Inconvenient Truth's release and see how some of Gore's apocalyptic predictions stand up today. I have chosen three - but could have covered many, many more.
Fifteen years ago today, failed US presidential candidate, Al Gore, released what can be best described as a scare movie called 'An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming And What We Can Do About It'. The movie was a global hit and Gore won an Oscar; he also received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Gore had succeeded in making global warming sexy. Everyone wanted to get in on the act to show how eco-friendly they were, particularly celebrities. And everyone else had to sign up to the agenda because, as we still hear so often today, "the science is settled."
