Magical, glowing “blue tears” in China’s seas are toxic and steadily growing every year, warn scientists
Tourists from all over China frequent the shores of Matsu Islands to see “blue tears” — an enchanting display of blue lights in the waters. But as beautiful as blue tears are to behold, experts have warned that they are also toxic. Blue tears are caused by the bloom of tiny, bioluminescent organisms called Noctiluca scintillans, […]

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 […]

Mercury exposure in the oceans is getting worse, causing mercury levels in seafood to rise
Researchers from Harvard University are suggesting that the levels of methylmercury in fish such as swordfish, cod and Atlantic bluefin tuna have been rising since at least the 197os. Methylmercury is an organic and highly toxic form of mercury. When people suffer from mercury poisoning, it is usually from ingesting large amounts of methylmercury. One source […]

Watch what you eat: 5 Tips to help reduce your toxic plastic exposure in food and water
The National Library of Medicine defines microplastics as pieces of plastic smaller than 5 mm in size. Microplastics can be found in oceans, ocean seabeds, coastal waters, shorelines and the surface of the sea. They can even be found in food and water. To limit your exposure to microplastics, take measures such as filtering the water you […]

“Plasticrust” is a new form of pollution that’s taking over shorelines
A new type of plastic pollution has made its way to the shores of Madeira in Portugal, a recent study revealed. A team of researchers at Portugal’s Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (MARE) identified the pollution as “plasticrust” – patches of plastic that encrust rocks along the shore. Ignacio Gestoso, a marine ecologist at MARE and the lead author of the study, […]

EXTINCTION approaching: Glowing “blue tears” in China’s seas are TOXIC and steadily growing every year, warn scientists
To tourists and curious onlookers, the sparkling blue glow surrounding Taiwan’s Matsu Islands may look like a scene straight out of a Disney movie. Experts argue, however, that there’s a much darker side to this beautiful sight. “It’s toxic,” Chanmin Hu, an oceanographer at the University of South Florida, said in an interview with Live […]

Researchers find evidence of microplastics in Colorado RAIN SAMPLES: Where is it coming from?
Microplastics are everywhere these days. They are even falling from the sky, a recent study finds. Researchers from various institutions in the US, including the US Geological Survey (USGS), found microplastics in rain samples collected from the Denver-Boulder urban corridor and other sites along Colorado’s Front Range. Their findings, which were published on the USGS […]

Study: Plastic pollution is harming photosynthetic bacteria in the ocean that produce 10 percent of the oxygen we breathe
Marine microorganisms may also be threatened by plastic pollution in the ocean. Since one type of photosynthetic bacteria accounts for 10 percent of the oxygen production on Earth, we need to take steps to protect the microbes before we run out of breathable air. Australian researchers issued a warning following their recently published study. They […]

5 Easy ways to reduce ocean pollution
The ocean has become a plastic soup. In 2010, scientists estimated that eight million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean every year, and the numbers only increase each year. This is a problem for marine animals and humans alike. To prevent this problem from getting bigger, people have to start implementing (and following) measures […]

Arsenic is toxic to humans, but these microbes live and breathe it
Researchers from the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington have discovered how some microorganisms that live in portions of the ocean where oxygen is almost absent manage to thrive. Called marine oxygen-deficient zones (ODZs), these regions are sandwiched between the oxygen-rich surface and the deep layers. In their study, which appeared in the […]
