Les eaux Contrex et Hépar contaminées aux microplastiques par les décharges sauvages de Nestlé

Les eaux Contrex et Hépar contaminées aux microplastiques par les décharges sauvages de Nestlé
Les conclusions de l’enquête de l’Office français de la biodiversité que Mediapart publie révèlent que les eaux de Contrex et Hépar contiennent des taux de microplastiques « exorbitants » en raison de décharges laissées à l’abandon par Nestlé qui ont pollué les sources d’eau. Un réel danger pour la santé.

“This is very serious for the populations..we also expect summer temperatures in Spain & France to reach unprecedented levels in the next few years.. Many of the events predicted for 2050 or 2070 are already happening. We underestimated the speed of change. What we’re seeing now is an acceleration”

The exponential rise in microplastic pollution over the past 50 years may be reflected in increasing contamination in human brains, according to a new study.

The new research analyzed samples of brain, liver and kidney tissues from 28 people who died in 2016 and 24 who died in 2024 in New Mexico.

🚢💣 Toxic shipwrecks under our seas

TIL that there are over 8,500 WWI and WWII shipwrecks. Ticking time bombs, leaking oil, toxins, and heavy metals as they decay.

Climate change and human activities like fishing & wind farms worsen these risks
