'Very, very toxic': The risk of asbestos in Gaza's rubble
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8y4j91l83o

'"The Gaza rubble is a very, very toxic environment," says Professor Bill Cookson, director of the National Centre for Mesothelioma Research in London. "People are going to suffer acutely, but also in the longer term as well, things that children may carry throughout their lives."'

Os comparto una imagen de Daniel Canogar, de la serie Vórtice de 2011, que me impactó mucho en su momento. Las copias se expusieron en gran formato.
Un buen ejemplo de la sociedad de consumo y el desperdicio. Me interesó de la imagen el tratamiento limpio, sin apenas dramatismo pero que simboliza tan bien la forma de vida que tenemos.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Mysterious Congo outbreak likely linked to contaminated water. #contamination #water #Congo #outbreak #disease https://www.science.org/content/article/mysterious-congo-outbreak-likely-linked-contaminated-water-researchers-say

Today in Labor History March 1, 1954: The U.S. detonated Castle Bravo, a 15-megaton hydrogen bomb on Bikini Atoll. It caused the worst radioactive contamination ever by the U.S. However, this occurred after years of nuclear testing and contamination of the islands and waters around them. The U.S. detonated 23 nuclear devices on the islands from 1946 to 1958. They blew up the bombs on the reef, in the sea, in the air and underwater. They relocated islanders several times, each time to supposedly safe islands. But they neglected to provide sufficient food and water, causing starvation. When the islanders tried to catch fish to eat, or grow their own crops, they were so contaminated from radioactive fallout, that it poisoned all who ate it. Women started having miscarriages and giving birth to babies with abnormalities. To this day, it is still too contaminated for inhabitants and their descendants to return. A trust fund that had been set up to help support the survivors ran out of funds in the late 2010s.
