MICROBEADS IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS THE SIZE FROM 10 MICROMETERS TO 5 MILLIMETERS MAY FIND ITS WAY INTO THE FOOD CHAIN VIA FISH

......Microbeads are tiny plastic pieces normally found in toothpastes, facial cleaners, scrubs and other cosmetics, often marketed for exfoliation.

These beads are from 10 micrometers to 5 millimeters in diameter, compared to a human hair that is normally a size of 100 micrometers in diameter.

Too small to be filtered, they pass through water purification systems and flow into oceans where marine life can eat them, mistaking them for food.

The composition of microbeads often includes polyethylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethlyl methacrylate (PMMA) or nylon, which are not degradable and take at least several decades to dissolve.

Approximately 360,000 microbeads particles are contained in an average 170ml facial cleaner sold in the market, while at least 20 million tons of these plastic pieces end up in the ocean each year, according to United Nations Environment Program data in 2014.

The dangers are not just exclusive to human life who can find these in their food sources.

A 2015 study listed on the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that nine out of 10 seabirds around the world are likely to have tiny plastic pieces in their stomachs.

Data from the Korea Women’s Environmental Network also showed that every 2.5 in 10 fish -- such as planktons -- here were found to contain plastic wastes inside their stomachs.

“These plastic pieces find their way through sewers and into the sea where they are easily eaten by all sorts of marine animals,” said Park Tae-hyun, a campaigner at Greenpeace Korea......

THE DEMOCRAT LEFTIST OF ANTI MILITARY HAS DONE ITS JOB OF THE SLOW MARCH FORWARD TO THE STEADY DECLINE OF READINESS FOR THE US MILITARY AS BUDGET CUTS HAVE DONE THE SWISS CHEESE OF EVERY BRANCH BEHIND THE AMERICAN WATCH - SINCE 2011 A 25% DROP IN NATIONAL SECURITY SPENDING DUE TO THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO CHAOS EFFECT

The Defense Budget

While the NDAA is primarily a policy bill, it also establishes budgets. This paper is not primarily about the budget, but the budget situation must be addressed. From FY 2011 to FY 2015, total national security spending (budget function 050, including overseas operations) dropped by 24.9 percent in real terms.[34] While that period included dramatic force reductions in Iraq and Afghanistan, recent events around the world and the operating tempo of the U.S. military show that this dramatic cut was misguided. Under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA), defense spending increased slightly for FY 2016; thus FY 2011–FY 2016 is now only a 23.5 percent cut. Unfortunately, the BBA cap reduces inflation-adjusted defense spending in FY 2017, so the gap from FY 2011 grows back to 24.5 percent in real terms. The defense budget under the BBA is not sufficient to support the military that this nation needs.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON AS CHAOS REIGNS THE LEFTIST WAY OF LIFE ALL OVER THE WORLD - NICE MUSLIM TERRORIST ATTACKS A COMMON THEME IN THESE LAST DAYS - TURKEY A NATO ALLY GOING THROUGH A MILITARY COUP - AND NOT LONG AGO THE BRITEXIT FROM THE EU - AND IRAN PERFECTS ITS MISSILE WITH ONGOING TESTS EVEN AFTER THE NUKE DEAL - WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY - THE WORLD OF CHAOS

Truck terrorist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was an 'unlikely jihadist' who flouted every rule of Islam, his cousin told MailOnline today.
The 31-year-old - who wreaked terror on the Nice seafront as he turned an evening celebrating Bastille Day into a night of terror in which he murdered 84 innocent people - drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs.
He never prayed or attended a mosque, and hit his wife - with whom he had three children aged five, three and 18 months - and was in the process of getting a divorce.

The Turkish military claims to have "fully seized control" of the country amid reports of aerial attacks, gunfire and explosions in Istanbul and the Turkish capital Ankara.

Soldiers stormed Turkey's state broadcaster TRT, forcing a presenter to read a statement live on air announcing that a military coup is under way.
The statement said the country, a NATO member, is now being run by a "peace council". It declared that martial law and a nationwide curfew are in place.

Two days before the anniversary of the nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers, the Islamic Republic attempted to launch a new type of ballistic missile using North Korean technology, multiple intelligence officials tell Fox News.

The test, in violation of a UN resolution, failed shortly after liftoff when the missile exploded, sources said. The effort occurred on the evening of July 11-12 near the Iranian city of Saman, an hour west of Isfahan, where Iran has conducted similar ballistic missile tests in the past.

It would be at least the fourth time Iran has launched or attempted to launch a ballistic missile since the nuclear accord was signed on July 14, 2015.

Iran is barred from conducting ballistic missile tests for eight years under UN Resolution 2231, which went effect July 20, 2015, days after the nuclear accord was signed.
