Magical, glowing “blue tears” in China’s seas are toxic and steadily growing every year, warn scientists
Tourists from all over China frequent the shores of Matsu Islands to see “blue tears” — an enchanting display of blue lights in the waters. But as beautiful as blue tears are to behold, experts have warned that they are also toxic. Blue tears are caused by the bloom of tiny, bioluminescent organisms called Noctiluca scintillans, […]

Using quality water filters can help reduce your exposure to potentially harmful microplastics, advise scientists
Research suggests that microplastics are in seafood and in the very water that you drink. While studies have yet to determine the harmful effects of microplastics on human health, experts recommend using water filters to reduce exposure to microplastics in tap water. A credit card’s worth of microplastics ingested weekly Findings from a separate study conducted by […]

Watch what you eat: 5 Tips to help reduce your toxic plastic exposure in food and water
The National Library of Medicine defines microplastics as pieces of plastic smaller than 5 mm in size. Microplastics can be found in oceans, ocean seabeds, coastal waters, shorelines and the surface of the sea. They can even be found in food and water. To limit your exposure to microplastics, take measures such as filtering the water you […]

Australian researchers use “green and cost-efficient” microscopic nanosprings to break down microplastic pollution
Plastic waste has unfortunately become ubiquitous in oceans and rivers today, posing a serious environmental hazard to marine creatures, ecosystems and people. In a bid to mitigate the ever-growing pollution of the world’s oceans, researchers from Australia have developed a way to clean water sources of microplastics without harming the microorganisms that live in them. Using […]

Lead in the water? It might be due to manganese
Lead in the water is one of the most common reasons of heavy metal poisoning in children. This toxic substance ends up in drinking water when plumbing materials, such as old pipes, faucets and fixtures that contain lead corrode. Corrosion, or the wearing away of metal, can be caused by many factors, such as high […]

Researchers are working on turning plastic into fuel that could power homes
With nearly 80 percent of the world’s plastic waste ending up on landfills, all this plastic pollution needs to be reused quickly, or it may clog up the world’s oceans — potentially killing millions of animals, and seep into the air and the soil, threatening the health of groundwater and food crops. Researchers are proposing […]
