Mix Mistress Alice💄"You can't see them, but they are there, hundreds of miniscule particles of plastic lurking in your steak. As it cooks in a hot pan, these unwelcome guests liquify, oozing into the meat before solidifying again as it cools down on your plate. And they're not just in steak. Unwittingly, you are eating them all the time.
These interlopers in our food are microplastics and nanoplastics, particles of less than 5mm or between 1 and 1,000 nanometres respectively. But how do they get into our food? And, in a world infused with bits of plastic, what can we do to reduce exposure in our diets?"—Ally Hirschlag & Martha Henriques
Your kitchen is full of microplastics. Here's how to eat less of them >

Barry SchwartzI am molding a birdbath in very-fast-setting Rockite concrete. I have added polypropylene fibers and a little Franklin Titebond III wood glue as strengtheners. I plan to use a siloxane sealer. Some iron oxide pigment in an earth color.
How to raise the bath I do not know yet. Maybe a cable-stayed arrangement or a self-anchored suspension. To be engineering and steel wiry about it.

Today I made two yellow concrete cups. Here is one of them. The other is holding a scrubbing brush by the kitchen sink.
I used Rockite quick-setting anchoring and patching concrete. It cures very quickly. I added both pigment and polypropylene fiber.

Foamed plastic carriers boost biofilm formation in wastewater treatment
For the sake of the environment and our quality of life, effective treatment of wastewater plays a vital role. A biological method to treat sewage using moving, biofilm-covered plastic items known as carriers has been gaining prominence, and an Osaka Metropolitan University-led team has found ways to make the process more efficient.

@MichiganTech system begins with a…shredder, which reduces…to small shards that then move into a reactor, where they soak in #ammoniumhydroxide under high heat. Some #plastics, such as #PET, which is commonly used to make disposable water bottles, break down at this point. Other plastics used in military food packaging — namely #polyethylene and #polypropylene — are passed along to another reactor, where they are subject to much higher heat and an absence of oxygen…
