Well it's going to help with their green transition. Green as in free of ice.

we are loving dead https://phys.org/news/2024-01-bottled-hundreds-thousands-previously-uncounted.html For the first time, they counted and identified these minute particles in bottled water. They found that on average, a liter contained some 240,000 detectable plastic fragments—10 to 100 times greater than previous estimates, which were based mainly on larger sizes. The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ... Plastics in bottled water became a public issue largely after a 2018 study detected an average of 325 particles per liter; later studies multiplied that number many times over. Scientists suspected there were even more than they had yet counted, but good estimates stopped at sizes below 1 micrometer—the boundary of the nano world. ... The new study uses a technique called stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, which was co-invented by study co-author Wei Min, a Columbia biophysicist. This involves probing samples with two simultaneous lasers that are tuned to make specific molecules resonate. Targeting seven common plastics, the researchers created a data-driven algorithm to interpret the results. "It is one thing to detect, but another to know what you are detecting," said Min. The researchers tested three popular brands of bottled water sold in the United States (they declined to name which ones), analyzing plastic particles down to just 100 nanometers in size. They spotted 110,000 to 370,000 particles in each liter, 90% of which were nanoplastics; the rest were microplastics. They also determined which of the seven specific plastics they were, and charted their shapes—qualities that could be valuable in biomedical research. One common one was polyethylene terephthalate or PET. This was not surprising, since that is what many water bottles are made of. (It is also used for bottled sodas, sports drinks and products such as ketchup and mayonnaise.) It probably gets into the water as bits slough off when the bottle is squeezed or gets exposed to heat. One recent study suggests that many particles enter the water when you repeatedly open or close the cap, and tiny bits abrade. ... However, PET was outnumbered by polyamide, a type of nylon. Ironically, said Beizhan Yan, that probably comes from plastic filters used to supposedly purify the water before it is bottled. Other common plastics the researchers found: polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and polymethyl methacrylate, all used in various industrial processes. A somewhat disturbing thought: the seven plastic types the researchers searched for accounted for only about 10% of all the nanoparticles they found in samples; they have no idea what the rest are. If they are all nanoplastics, that means they could number in the tens of millions per liter.

I bet that glacier water, if handled properly, is also free of plastic stuff. Why drink lovely and dangerous current era water when your water can come from a million years old chunk of ice? I bet there is also some million year old air trapped in there for the true connoisseurs .

You can find PFAS and microplastics across the Arctic snow, sea ice, seawater, barren land masses and at the bottom of the ocean. They're everywhere. We did it!

A reminder to all my friends here: donating blood and especially plasma can reduce your pfas and presumably plastic levels. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8994130/ For the bolder ones: receiving blood will take you into the future faster.

err posted:how do i get a colonoscopy early? say my dad had colon cancer or some poo poo? Tell your doctor you lost over 15% of your body weight not on purpose. I legitimately did so I got a colonoscopy last month. going from 150 to 130 over like 4 months is a bit scary. turns out I was just barely eating because of my allergies making me miserable so im seeing an allergist but it was a nice to know that everything is all good down there.

err posted:how do i get a colonoscopy early? say my dad had colon cancer or some poo poo? family history, weight loss, blood in stool/very thin stool you can pretty easily lie about the stool bc thats between you, your toilet, and god. i got a colonoscopy this year. my fam has a lot of history with that poo poo and i came out in the clear. alcohol is probably the biggest factor.
