RE: Serious news alert! Study shows most tap water around the world contaminated with "microplastics"
I did a project on this very issue in college, the micro plastic get into the water system because of our flood sewers. Plastic bottles and caps get stuck in the sewer cracks and fall into the water, most of these sewers actually lead to a near creek that moves into a river, then in the near by lake. By the time it reaches the ocean the plastics have becomes super small and ingested by EVEN the fish we catch and eat! Search: The Great Pacific Patch is disgusting how much plastic can end up in the Ocean! I love this topic haha.
Please feel free to write follow up blogs. I also studied something like this in college. Lead is neurotoxic for example and the fact that Flint allowed that to happen is one of the worst tragedies in US history. It's not just that it's bad for health, but it will fuel an entire generation of violent sociopaths/psychopaths damaged by lead poisoning.
On the topic of fish, it's also true that mercury is in fish. This might be a good time to consider going vegan and buying advanced water filtration if paranoid. Of course you can always choose to trust your government and hope it doesn't end up like Flint.
I'm over in Canada, as of now we have the cleanest water but not clean enough, Lake Ontario had so much radioactive waste dumped into it the Province declared for citizens to not fish or eat the fish from the lake because of mutations. Some fish had 2 heads, I'm definitely going to write up a blog on this tommorow, it is disturbing how terible it is becoming!
Do mutations signal that there is a high level of radioactive waste?
Sorry, the Lake was polluted with a mixer of things because we have 2 steel factories right on the lake , and for years they were dumping their waste into the water to avoid fees for waste removal.
