Study warns microplastics can infiltrate the brain and raise the risk of cognitive problems
A Chinese study reveals microplastics can enter the brain, potentially increasing a person’s risks of stroke, depression and dementia by triggering blood clots and restricting blood flow. Microplastics, found in food, water, air and everyday products, have been detected in human brain tissue, with their harmful mechanisms now better understood. Research on mice showed microplastic […]

Report shows pesticide drift is wreaking havoc on ecosystems everywhere in the world
Airborne movement of pesticides is harming ecosystems worldwide, disrupting food webs and harming non-target species, as highlighted in a recent review published in Environmental Pollution. Up to 25 percent of sprayed pesticides become airborne, traveling long distances and contaminating plants, soil, and water, harming beneficial insects, birds, and microorganisms. Pesticides disrupt soil microbial communities, reducing fertility […]

Researchers conduct human clinical trials for experimental malaria vaccine using genetically modified MOSQUITOES
Researchers in the Netherlands are conducting human clinical trials for a malaria vaccine delivered by genetically modified mosquitoes, sparking debate over its ethical implications and potential risks. Early results claim that recipients of the experimental vaccine delivered strong immunity in 89 percent of trial participants after being bitten by mosquitoes carrying a genetically modified malaria parasite […]

Fungus spreading worldwide could cause the EXTINCTION of blueberries
A powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe vaccinii is threatening blueberry crops worldwide, endangering yields, farmer livelihoods and food security. The fungus, originating in the eastern U.S., has spread to major blueberry-producing regions like China, Mexico, Morocco, Peru and Portugal through the global trade of plant material. The disease reduces yields, increases fungicide use and causes […]

Study finds commonly used herbicide atrazine accelerates the aging of brain cells
A recent study reveals that atrazine, a widely used herbicide in the U.S., may accelerate brain cell aging and increase the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by damaging neurons and prematurely aging stem cells in the hypothalamus. Atrazine is the second-most used herbicide globally, with over 70 million pounds applied annually in the […]

U.K. proposal could see EVs taxed higher than gas vehicles due to heavier loads
A new proposal could tax vehicles based on weight to address “autobesity,” with electric vehicles potentially facing higher taxes due to their heavier batteries. Critics argue that focusing solely on weight oversimplifies environmental impact, as EVs, though heavier, rely on electricity that can be renewable, unlike fossil fuel-powered gas and diesel cars. The automotive industry […]

Groundbreaking study warns: Almost a quarter of all freshwater animals at heightened risk of EXTINCTION
Nearly 25 percent of freshwater animal species, including fish, crabs and dragonflies, are at risk of extinction, classified as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered, according to a comprehensive study published in Nature. Freshwater habitats cover less than one percent of Earth’s surface but support 10 percent of all known animal species. Pollution, dams, agriculture, water extraction […]

Researchers find microplastics exposure greatly increases risk of infertility, colon cancer and poor lung function
A study has found a strong connection between exposure to microplastics and health problems such as infertility, colon cancer and poor lung function after reviewing 3,000 studies. Microplastics are present in air, water, food and human bodies, including crucial organs like the brain and placenta. They can enter the body via inhalation, ingestion and other means. […]

Study: Long-term exposure to common air pollutants linked to higher risk of deadly blood clots
A 17-year study of over 6,600 adults in six major U.S. cities reveals a significant association between long-term exposure to air pollutants and an increased risk of blood clots in deep veins, known as venous thromboembolism. The study identifies fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen oxides as the main pollutants linked to a heightened […]

Study: Pesticide exposure linked to obesity, endocrine disorders and other devastating health effects
A systematic review of 36 studies published in Biomedicines reveals that exposure to certain pesticides, especially those used in agriculture, is associated with obesity, diabetes and other serious health problems. Pesticides, including organophosphates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids, act as endocrine disruptors, interfering with natural hormone processes. They alter leptin levels, which can lead to increased fat […]
