#SJSU #MossLanding Marine Laboratories has conducted testing for heavy metals:

"...unusually high concentrations of heavy-metal #nanoparticles... at Elkhorn Slough... following the recent fire at the nearby #Vistra Power Plant's li-ion battery storage facility... within a radius of approximately 2 miles... measured a dramatic increase (hundreds to thousand-fold) of the three heavy metals Nickel, Manganese and Cobalt."

Safely removing nanoplastics from water using 'Prussian blue', a pigment used to dye jeans
Prussian blue, a metal-organic frameworks-based substance made by adding iron (III) chloride to a potassium ferrocyanide solution, is the first synthetic pigment used to dye jeans a deep blue color and has recently been used to adsorb cesium, a radioactive element, from Japanese nuclear plant wastewater.

Preprint alert! Our lab developed targetable #DNA origami #nanoparticles, which we then image throughout the entire (transparent) mouse body using #lightsheet #microscopy.

Our DNA origami were able to target immune cells, as well as a subset of cancer metastases in the lung.

Nanoplastics Are Entering Our Bodies
socialistproject.ca/2023/07/na

The air is plasticized: minuscule plastic fibers, fragments, foam, & films shed f. plastics are perpetually floating into & free-falling on us f. the atmosphere. Rain flushes micro/nanoplastics back to Earth.

Wind & storms carry microplastic particles through the air for dozens, even 100s of miles before depositing them back on Earth.

Minuscule plastic fibers, fragments, foam, and films are shed from plastic stuff and are perpetually floating into and free-falling down on us from the atmosphere.

Hi all, a little #introduction from me 🤗

I'm a new Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology at UCL Chemistry #London 🥳

My group develops methods to control nucleic acids (#DNA #RNA) and synthetic cells (#synbio) with stimuli, like light, temperature and magnetism - we use all sorts of chemistries like #photocages, #polymers, and #nanoparticles

I will also toot about parenting, #coeliac disease, and things I find funny!
