Sda150-003	Common Cleaning Sponge Found to Release Trillions of Microplastic Fibers
	Quote:	That magic sponge under your sink may be hiding an environmental downside. While melamine sponges are famous for effortlessly scrubbing away stubborn stains, they slowly break down as you use themshedding tiny plastic fibers that wash into ...

Sda150-010	Eating More Fruits and Vegetables Tied to Unexpected Lung Cancer Risk
	Quote:	Researchers believe the explanation may lie in environmental exposure, particularly pesticides used in agriculture. According to Nieva, commercially produced (non-organic) fruits, vegetables and whole grains are more likely to carry higher levels of pesticide residue compared to dairy, meat and many processed foods. He also pointed out that agricultural workers who are regularly exposed to pesticides tend to have higher rates of lung cancer, which supports the possibility of a connection. The study also found that young women who do not smoke are diagnosed with lung cancer more often than men in the same age group. Women in the study also tended to consume more fruits, vegetables and whole grains than men.

Sda161-005	This Common Plant Could Clean Microplastics from Your Drinking Water
	Quote:	Moringa Seed Extract Performs Like Chemical Treatment "We showed that the saline extract from the seeds performs similarly to aluminum sulfate, which is used in treatment plants to coagulate water containing microplastics. In more alkaline waters, it performed even better than the chemical product," says Gabrielle Batista, the first author of the study. She carried out the research during her masters degree in the Post-Graduate Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering (PPGECA) at the Bauru School of Engineering (FEB) at UNESP.
	Comment:	A surprising source of plastic microparticle contamination are the disposable gloves lab workers wear, pptentially contaminating their microplastic research.
