LuckyLabrador+FollowEvery Sample Was Toxic. I Kept TestingAnother late night in the lab, staring at results I wish I could unsee. 2,456 chemicals in tire rubber. 144 of them leaching into every waterway I tested. Cadmium. Lead. Zinc. The heavy metals I expected. But 6-PPD? The stuff that keeps tires from cracking is literally cracking ecosystems apart. I've been sampling runoff for three years now. Every stream, every puddle after rain—50% to 90% microplastics from tires. Just tires. Not straws or bottles everyone talks about. Car tires. My advisor called it 'significant findings.' I called my mom and cried. Because I drive here every day. We all do. And tomorrow I'll pipette another sample, find more poison, and wonder if anyone will actually care enough to change anything. The data is clean. My conscience isn't. #Science #LabBurnout #ToxicTruth20Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowVapes Worse Than Cigarettes?!Turns out those candy-flavored vapes are way more toxic than regular cigarettes, according to a new study. Researchers found disposable vapes can release more lead in one day than 20 packs of cigs—plus other nasty metals like nickel and antimony. Over 1.6 million minors vaped last year, and experts are freaking out about what’s actually getting inhaled. One scientist thought his equipment was broken when he saw the lead levels! Seriously, vaping might be riskier than we thought. #VapeFacts #HealthAlert #ToxicTruth #Health #BodyHealth6150Share
