Anyhoo our wonderful society has solved a lot of problems, including the question of societal formation/organization. It just happened that power comes from the barrel of a gun and lots of money can buy more gun than little money.

Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban has some interesting mythology among the post-apoc people about what present day people were like and could do.

Microplastics cause damage to human cells in the laboratory at the levels known to be eaten by people via their food, a study has found.

The harm included cell death and allergic reactions and the research is the first to show this happens at levels relevant to human exposure.

The research analysed 17 previous studies which looked at the toxicological impacts of microplastics on human cell lines. The scientists compared the level of microplastics at which damage was caused to the cells with the levels consumed by people through contaminated drinking water, seafood and table salt.

They found specific types of harm � cell death, allergic response, and damage to cell walls � were caused by the levels of microplastics that people ingest.

�Harmful effects on cells are in many cases the initiating event for health effects,� said Evangelos Danopoulos, of Hull York Medical School, UK, and who led the research published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials. �We should be concerned. Right now, there isn�t really a way to protect ourselves.�

The research also showed irregularly shaped microplastics caused more cell death than spherical ones. This is important for future studies as many microplastics bought for use in laboratory experiments are spherical, and therefore may not be representative of the particles humans ingest.

Danopoulos said the next step for researchers was to look at studies of microplastic harm in laboratory animals � experiments on human subjects would not be ethical. In March, a study showed tiny plastic particles in the lungs of pregnant rats pass rapidly into the hearts, brains and other organs of their foetuses.

In December, microplastics were revealed in the placentas of unborn babies, which the researchers said was �a matter of great concern�. In October, scientists showed that babies fed formula milk in plastic bottles were swallowing millions of particles a day.

cell damage means cancer points.
