STUDY: Covid face masks contain dangerous levels of titanium dioxide that are easily inhaled
New research published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports reveals that Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “face masks” are loaded with toxic levels of titanium dioxide (TiO2) that “systematically [exceed] the acceptable exposure level” of what is considered “safe.” A suspected human carcinogen, TiO2, when inhaled as fiber-grade nanoparticles, is not good for human health. And yet […]

High levels of toxicants from plastic products found in stranded dolphins and whales
Consumer waste like plastics pose a huge threat to marine life for various reasons. Apart from their durability and slow biodegradability, plastics also contain and attract toxic contaminants that can accumulate inside aquatic animals if they’re ingested. Over the past few decades, scientists have been sounding the alarm on the increasing amount of plastics found polluting the world’s oceans. A new […]
