Summary

Microplastic Removal Methods addresses the growing crisis of microplastic pollution, exploring its impact on environmental and human health. The book argues for a multi-faceted approach, combining technological solutions, nature-based detoxification, and improved waste management. One intriguing fact highlighted is the potential for microplastics to accumulate within the human body. The book also investigates how these particles, originating from the breakdown of larger plastics, industrial sources, and consumer products, can enter our cells. The book is uniquely valuable because it offers a balanced view of both technological and natural solutions, critically evaluating their limitations and proposing innovative strategies. It begins by establishing a foundational understanding of microplastic origins and health impacts. The book then progresses through three sections: natural detox strategies involving dietary and lifestyle interventions, waste management strategies emphasizing source reduction and better recycling technologies, and advanced filtration technologies for removing microplastics from water and air, such as membrane filtration and advanced oxidation processes. This comprehensive approach distinguishes it from other works in environmental science. Through evidence from scientific studies, government reports, and industry data, the book assesses the effectiveness and scalability of various removal methods. It connects insights from environmental science, toxicology, and public health to provide a complete understanding of the challenges and opportunities in microplastic removal. It also touches on debates about acceptable levels of these pollutants in our environment.

A Pagan Polemic - Reflections on...

Jack Loeffler

A Pagan Polemic curates the evolving perspective of Jack Loeffler—itinerant wanderer, environmental warrior, storyteller, and story collector—whose true education began when he was marched into the Nevada desert one day at dawn to play "The Stars and Stripes Forever" during an atomic bomb test a scant few miles away. Since that day in 1957, Jack's mission in life has been to record peoples of the borderlands and to bring "indigenous mindedness" to the forefront of the conversation about our precarious environments and our decaying planet. A Pagan Polemic is a sweeping manifesto of Jack's core beliefs and long experience as a fierce (and funny) advocate for Nature and Nature-mindedness and against poisonous politics and policies.

Deadly Departure

Christine Negroni

The in-flight explosion of TWA Flight 800 on July 17, 1996, was one of the deadliest air disasters in American history, triggering one of longest and most confounding investigations. Even today, many people still believe there was a government conspiracy to hide the real cause of the crash. If anyone was covering up the truth about the blast that brought down the jumbo jet as it departed New York for Paris, it was Boeing. For years, the company kept from investigators, vital information about a dangerous design flaw at the heart of the airplane. It took intrepid investigators years to understand how a tiny spark in a massive fuel tank could lead to the deaths of 230 people. This insight into Boeing is significant given several accidents on new model Boeing airliners that would follow in the decades to come. Written by television correspondent and air safety specialist, Christine Negroni, Deadly Departure reveals the chaos behind the massive crash investigation exacerbated by political feuding among various government agencies. Deadly Departure reveals the surprising motivations of those promoting the theory that the true cause of the crash has been covered up. Readers learn about the victims and their families, the rescue and crisis workers, the investigators and scientists, the grifters and imposters. It is an impeccably researched, and provocative story of one of the great disasters of our time.
