https://news.umich.edu/nitrile-and-latex-gloves-may-cause-overestimation-of-microplastics-u-m-study-reveals/

According to recent studies by the University of Michigan. It turns out Microplastic Panic was fake and gay. You all just fell for a Jewish trick... again.

Now excuse me off to get my plastic straws.

Serves you right for trusting the science you retards.

I didnt read didnt watch. I know what OP is saying I also saw new study by student chick. Amazing. Yeah microplastic is fake and gay now. Finally good news. Gone just like ozone holes.

If your body isn't superior enough to adapt to a micro plastics future you should just die off anyway

You didn't even read the article.

"We may be overestimating microplastics, but there should be none. There’s still a lot out there, and that’s the problem."
— Anne McNeil, senior author and U-M professor of chemistry

All this shows is that gloves can give false positives. That doesn't mean microplastics don't exist you fucking moron.

The ozone hole is gone unironically.

You got any other hoaxes Hans? Is quicksand gonna make a comeback?
>>
>>538798841
It means all microplastic studies can be thrown out in the bin if they used gloves and they all did, so now we are in the we dont know area with microplastic and that is just speculations.

Acid rain? Member that?
>>
>>538798908
No because I don't live next to fucking Chernobyl.

>>538798899
>They found that on average, the gloves imparted about 2,000 false positives per millimeter squared area.
From the same article.

It was a north america and europe thing in the 80s. Im just old.

Acid rain was indeed a massive global crisis in the 1980s, driven by industrial sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (\(NO_{X}\)) emissions that poisoned lakes, dissolved ancient statues, and killed entire forests in North America and Europe. The crisis was successfully resolved in the following decades.

You're good I'm being a little extra. I barely remember Acid Rain because we were grappling with the Quicksand, Y2K and The Bermuda Triangle Crisis of the 90s-2000s.

The whole in the ozone layer was real. We in the southern hemisphere lived under it. It was solved by regulation. The use of chlorofluorocarbons was reduced.

Of course liberals will want people think it is a hoax. They don't want people to see that environmental problems can be solved by the state.
>>
The Ozone hole was projected to be a 100-200 year problem that was solved in like 10 years.

It was a FAKE AND GAY crisis. Just like people believing they have 10 grams of microplastics in their balls because some retard wore plastic gloves.

It's the same language they always use.

>turns out our tests and projections weren't just wrong but incredibly wrong.
>but uhm micro plastics are still real

And in 10 years everyone looks back and goes.

>look how stupid people were as they fall for a new "crisis"

CFCs remain in the atmosphere for 50–100 years. The hole in the ozone layer remains. It is recovering and won't be fully returned to normal for decades.

Face it the hole in the ozone layer is an example of state intervention working to solve an environmental problem.

We shouldn't have to live in a world with where microplastics are in our brain, or forever chemicals in our blood, there is a hole in the ozone layer, where we've lost billions of hectares of forest, with an ongoing mass extinction. We can solve these problems when liberals and brownoids like you stop screeching about "muh free market muh gdp". But people like you will never want a better cleaner world. You thrive only in the filth.

Sounds like climate nuttery
She's just trying to keep her job and grant money flowing
Or like when "scientists" were testing waste water for covid.
>>
If gloves worn by careful professionals can easily contaminate results with microplastics, doesn't that kind of confirm the idea that microplastics are getting everywhere?
>>

>Scientists may be overestimating the amount of microplastics in the environment due to accidental contamination from lab gloves, which release stearate salts that are structurally similar to polyethylene and difficult to distinguish from plastics using standard vibrational spectroscopy
No.
