Masks and wet wipes – how much micro plastics added over the three years of the scamdemic that ended in May 2023?

It seems like an age ago when I penned this article in August 2022 – one of my first!

An Inconvenient Truth - by Peter Halligan (substack.com)

And this on from May 2023:

(100) Micro- and nano-plastics – the real environmental and species ending threat (substack.com)

Which referenced these articles:

Study shows how tiny plastic particles manage to breach the blood-brain barrier (phys.org)

Recycling plastics might be making things worse (phys.org)

Scary stuff – which confirmed my belief that micro-plastics represent a threat to ALL life on earth – humans, mammals, birds, reptiles, plats AND BUGS.

Here’s a table of the per capita plastic pollution:

Not a peep from environmentalists about how this affects any “green deals” r whether this is a Public Health Emergency – you would think they would be all over this like a rash to choke off hydrocarbon usage, starting with pilot schemes to clan shit up in Indonesia, Thailand and Brazil!

(Idle thought – maybe the oil we have today is the sediment from a past civilization that became extinct with their equivalent of micro-plastics! The earth is several billion (4.5?) years old, plenty of time for a thousand civilizations like ours today to come and go).

Let’s ballpark a number (again) for the disposable micro-plastic laden masks.

Plug in your own numbers.

5 billion people using two masks a week for 190 weeks or so = around 2 trillion masks

Ad the same number for wet wipes.

Then there is all the extra microplastic laden packaging, plus the packaging for test kits (around 6 billion or so, injections almost 14 billion by now, PPE, bleach and cleaning fluids and so on and so forth – not to mention all those painted circles and cubicles for kids and checkout lines of stores etc.

Again, not a peep at the latest meeting of the WHO or in IPCC papers or in the UN Sustainable Development Goals – yet here is a “clear and present danger” to all life o the planet!

All in all, a massive generation of micro (and nano) plastics.

Most of it went into rivers or got dumped in the Far East in countries like Viet Nam and Thailand – along riverbanks and then leaked into the sea.

It-is good to see the issue gaining more attention – in a general sense, rather than the virtue signalling prevalent during the scamdemic

impact. Jefferey Jaxxen recently covered the issue the Highwire and there are these two articles:

(100) Are you Drinking Microplastics in Your Water? Can Hydrogen Help? (substack.com)

“In a global survey on tap water from six different regions on five continents consisting of 159 samples analyzed, 83% were found to contain plastic particles. Most of these particles were fibers (99.7%), between 0.1 – 5 mm in length. The range was between 0 and 57 particles per liter, with an overall mean of 4.34 n/L. The highest density of plastic per volume of tap water was found in North America and Lebanon and the lowest densities were found, collectively, in seven European countries.”

The study Invisibles Final Report — Orb Media is from 2017, well before the scamdemic.

“… a man may consume as many as 14 plastic particles a day, while a woman could consume up to 10 plastic particles a day. These daily doses add up to an annual total of over 4,000 for men and over 3,000 for women. These plastic particles are in addition to plastics potentially consumed in other products, such as sea salt, beer, and seafood(18).”

“A study published last week found significant concentrations of microplastics in the testicular tissue of both humans and dogs.  The findings add to growing concern about microplastics’ possible effect on human reproductive health.

Researchers from the University of New Mexico (“UNM”) published their paper in the journal Toxicological Sciences which reported detecting 12 types of microplastics in canine and human testes, with polyethylene (“PE”) being dominant.

PE is a common type of plastic polymer.  There are many types of common plastic polymers including polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”), another of the microplastics the UNM researchers found.

As Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea notes, not only were these same microplastics found in Moderna’s patent for its covid injection but they are mentioned in geoengineering patents.!

From a quoted extract in my August 2022 article:

“Ingestion of microplastics poses a further threat to human health; however, it has not been quantified. The presence of microplastics in human faeces has been confirmed (Schwabl et al. 2019), and research showed that up to 52,000 microplastics can be ingested by US citizens every year (Cox et al. 2019). A recent study carried by Ragusa et al. (2021) reported that microplastic particles were found in all placental portions, indicating that microplastics have potential threat to the fetal health.”

What ca be done? Smart minds needed to solve the problem that has been identified.

Clean up the coastlines and figure out how to extract micro and nano plastics from the rivers and oceans without destroying natural habitats. Screw the “re-wilding” agenda, how about a “deep cleaning” agenda!

I fantasize about fleets of concerted ULC il tankers – 50 abreast – endlessly sucking up ocean water – cranes lifting up sea water into tanks that filter out the sea life, returning the contents back the ocean and destroying the microplastics trapped in an ultra- fine mesh.- you’ve seen pictures of trawlers dumping a catch into a hold – sort of the reverse of that. Hey, it’s a fantasy!

How do you get rid of the microplastic? Dissolve it in some kid of super acetone? Maybe get nanobots to eat it? Who knows.

Onwards!!!
