Scores of tap water samples from more than a dozen nations were analysed by scientists for an investigation by Orb Media, who shared the findings with the Guardian. Overall, 83% of the samples were contaminated with plastic fibres. The US had the highest contamination rate, at 94%, with plastic fibres found in tap water sampled at sites including Congress buildings, the US Environmental Protection Agency’s headquarters, and Trump Tower in New York. Lebanon and India had the next highest rates. European nations including the UK, Germany and France had the lowest contamination rate, but this was still 72%. The average number of fibres found in each 500ml sample ranged from 4.8 in the US to 1.9 in Europe." article from: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/06/plastic-fibres-found-tap-water-around-world-study-reveals Love&Light&HaveFun:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatoms Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 ...Reminds me: Anyone member that UK glass sprayed on weed thing? Yes, I remember grit weed So does HSE Ireland Public Health services for Ireland Page 6 3. A WORD OF CAUTION • Grit weed, where fibre-glass balls are sprayed onto herbal cannabis to increase its weight, can cause serious damage to the users’ lungs. It is really hard to detect, but if you rub the bud with a wet finger then put that finger into your mouth you may feel the glass balls grind in your teeth. and • Some resins have things added such as bees wax, boot polish, animal excrement, turpentine, ground coffee, milk powder, pine resin, barbiturates, ketamine, aspirin, glues and dyes. • Damp can cause mould on cannabis, which can be dangerous to the user, when it is smoked or eaten. Fertilisers, pesticides and hormones which are used to increase yield can cause headaches and other side effects. http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/5/addiction/drugshivhelpline/cannabisbooklet.pdf urban myth?

diatoms Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Try himalayan pink salt article from: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/08/sea-salt-around-world-contaminated-by-plastic-studies Sea salt around the world is contaminated by plastic, studies show Exclusive: New studies find microplastics in salt from the US, Europe and China, adding to evidence that plastic pollution is pervasive in the environment Sea salt around the world has been contaminated by plastic pollution, adding to experts’ fears that microplastics are becoming ubiquitous in the environment and finding their way into the food chain via the salt in our diets. Following this week’s revelations in the Guardian about levels of plastic contamination in tap water, new studies have shown that tiny particles have been found in sea salt in the UK, France and Spain, as well as China and now the US. Researchers believe the majority of the contamination comes from microfibers and single-use plastics such as water bottles, items that comprise the majority of plastic waste. Up to 12.7m tonnes of plastic enters the world’s oceans every year, equivalent to dumping one garbage truck of plastic per minute into the world’s oceans, according to the United Nations. “Not only are plastics pervasive in our society in terms of daily use, but they are pervasive in the environment,” said Sherri Mason, a professor at the State University of New York at Fredonia, who led the latest research into plastic contamination in salt. Plastics are “ubiquitous, in the air, water, the seafood we eat, the beer we drink, the salt we use – plastics are just everywhere”. article from: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/08/sea-salt-around-world-contaminated-by-plastic-studies Love&Light&HaveFun:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatoms Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 What?! A Crystal? I have never seen Picard with a crystal in his ready room, EVER! But now it's iconic and in 78 episodes? A cup of earl grey tea yes, crystal no. "One of the most iconic props associated with Captain Jean-Luc Picard, his “desk crystal” appears prominently in no fewer than 78 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, often in his hands during the iconic speeches on moral and ethical issues that are so fundamental to the character of Star Trek’s most ruminative captain." https://shop.roddenberry.com/collections/tng-30th-anniversary/products/picard-desk-crystal-prop-replica?variant=42800701068 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2uIdC5nx98 Love&Light&HaveFun:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
