Antidepressants Found In Brains Of Fish, Scientists Warn

Nwo Report

Large quantities of antidepressants are building up in the brains of various fish in the Great Lakes region, scientists warn.

Strong antidepressants, prescribed to humans, have been found in the brains of bass, walleye and several other fish, according to a new study that found high concentrations of these drugs in 10 fish species in the Niagara River.

Phys.org reports: This vital conduit connects two of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, via Niagara Falls. The discovery of antidepressants in aquatic life in the river raises serious environmental concerns, says lead scientist Diana Aga, PhD, the Henry M. Woodburn Professor of Chemistry in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences.

“These active ingredients from antidepressants, which are coming out from wastewater treatment plants, are accumulating in fish brains,” Aga says. “It is a threat to biodiversity, and we should be very concerned.

“These drugs could affect…

Yellowstone Approaches Record Levels Of Seismic Activity

Nwo Report

By now, most are aware of the earthquake swarm under the Yellowstone super volcano.  Many people are fearing a major eruption, and those terrors aren’t calmed for some as the national park approaches a record number of earthquakes.

A cluster of earthquakes at the Yellowstone Park volcano is the most active it’s been in recent history. The earthquake count is up to 2,357 since June with the largest having a magnitude of  4.4. The majority of the earthquakes were magnitudes of 0 or 1, according to a report by Newsweek.

Yet scientists are assuring the public that a swarm of earthquakes doesn’t necessarily signal an eruption of the super volcano. But when the type of earthquakes occurring in Yellowstone deviates from the standard, it could mean that an eruption is forthcoming. A swarm of earthquakes is rather normal for Yellowstone, but the number of quakes is approaching a new record.

The current…

HEART ATTACK self help advice.

Phoenix Rainez

I received this message through personal messenger on Facebook and felt it was important to share.

​1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to…

Formosa Plastics Point Comfort Texas Flaring Toxic Chemicals To Air; Dumped Plastic Pellets; PVC To Waterway

Mining Awareness +

Google Map with US Government-MODIS Fire Data superimposed.
Taiwan’s: “Formosa owns and operates a chemical manufacturing facility in Point Comfort, Texas. This facility is located in Calhoun County along State Highway 35 and Farm to Market Road (FM) 1593, adjacent to Lavaca Bay. Formosa produces polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, polyethylene, and ethylene“. https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/case-summary-settlement-formosa-plastics-corporation-site-wide-corrective-actions-point

Note that the flaring of toxic chemicals by Formosa is apparently being done “legally” whereas the dumping of plastic pellets, PVC, and more to waterways is illegal dumping, according to a July 31, 2017 lawsuit. Hurricane Harvey may have sucked up some of this plastic and dumped it inland, too.

They have a nasty track-record. For instance:
