ostensibly for a scheduled tour three dozen rabbis and rabbinical students made their way into the u n security council s chamber to stage the latest high profile demonstration demanding the united states end its opposition to a cease fire in gaza the rabbis whose action was organized by rabbis for cease fire jews for racial and economic justice jewish voice for peace and ifnotnow displayed banners with messages for u s president joe biden biden the world says cease fire and biden stop vetoing peace the protest came weeks after the u s alone vetoed a u n security council resolution calling for israel to end its bombardment of gaza which has killed at least 23 210 people injured more than 59 100 and left thousands more missing and feared dead under rubble as the population of the enclave faces starvation and disease stemming from israel s blockade president joe biden and the u s must stop vetoing peace and end israel s bombing and starvation of gaza said ifnotnow in addition to vetoing the security council measure last month the u s abstained from voting on a resolution to increase humanitarian aid to gaza and opposed a u n general assembly resolution calling for a cease fire the country s isolated stance was starkly illustrated by the latter vote with 153 nations supporting the cease fire including longtime u s allies like canada france and spain backing the resolution and only nine countries joining the united states since the biden administration is consistently single handedly blocking the u n from taking any meaningful action for a cease fire we are organizing 36 rabbis and rabbinical students from seven different states to come to the u n themselves and say we re speaking for the people this is a moral call sophie ellman golan communications director for jews for racial and economic justice told huffpost organizers said at a press conference after the protesters were escorted out of the building that six of the rabbis had gained access to the u n general assembly floor where they displayed one of the banners to the assembled leaders huffpost reported that one of the rabbis signaled the beginning of the protest during the tour by blowing into a traditional shofar horn while rabbis for cease fire founder and lead organizer alissa wise quoted the biblical book of isaiah they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks said wise nation shall not lift up swords against nation neither shall they learn war anymore the groups called on the u s and all u n members to reaffirm and recommit to the goals of the united nations charter and the universal declaration of human rights taking meaningful action to stop the slaughter of palestinians in gaza hold another security council vote to pass a resolution for cease fire that includes lifting the siege and hostage exchange and bring to the general assembly a resolution calling for appropriate accountability measures in line with international law including an immediate arms embargo the u n was created in the aftermath of world war ii and the holocaust with the very intention of ensuring never again said rabbis for cease fire we are here as jews as rabbis to urge the u n to follow through on this noble mission never again means never again for any of us an organizer said as the rabbis assembled that the u n is the appropriate place for meaningful action for cease fire and accountability for israel s war crimes the demonstration came two days before the international court of justice the u n s top judicial body is set to hold a hearing on south africa s lawsuit claiming israel has committed acts of genocide in gaza turkey malaysia and the organization of islamic cooperation have all expressed support for south africa s claim while jordan indicated last week it had filed documents to submit a declaration of intervention at the court backing the lawsuit more than 900 worldwide civil society groups have joined a call for other governments to submit declarations of intervention to bolster south africa s case the biden administration said tuesday that south africa s case is meritless despite the country s detailed 84

of those particles were nanoplastics particles less than a micrometer whose small size makes them potentially more dangerous than microplastics olivia rosane jan 09 2024 there are 240 000 plastic particles in the average liter of bottled water the rough equivalent of two standard water bottles a columbia university led study has found the finding published monday in the journal proceedings of the national academy of sciences is especially concerning from a human health perspective because 90 of the plastics found were nanoplastics pieces smaller than a micrometer that researchers say could be more toxic than microplastics since their size enables them to infiltrate more parts of the body whatever microplastic is doing to human health i will say nanoplastics are going to be more dangerous wei min a study co author and columbia chemistry professor told the washington post plastic pollution is a vast and growing problem with more than 30 million tons contaminating the environment by land or by sea each year according to the columbia climate school these plastics do not stay as bottles or bags but rather break down into smaller and smaller particles people don t think of plastics as shedding but they do sherri sam mason the director of sustainability at penn state behrend who did not participate in the study told cnn in almost the same way we re constantly shedding skin cells plastics are constantly shedding little bits that break off such as when you open that plastic container for your store bought salad or a cheese that s wrapped in plastic previous research has focused on microplastics plastic pieces sized between five millimeters and a micrometer mostly because those pieces were easier to detect scientists have found them everywhere from clouds to human blood a 2018 study found an average of 325 microplastics per liter of bottled water further studies had found more microplastics according to columbia climate school but the new study is the first to look for individual nanoplastics you still have a lot of people that because of marketing are convinced that bottled water is better but this is what you re drinking in addition to that h2o people developed methods to see nanoparticles but they didn t know what they were looking at study lead author and columbia chemistry graduate student naixin qian said in a statement the research team was able to do so based on a technology co invented by min stimulated raman scattering microscopy this enables researchers to pinpoint individual molecules by shining two lasers on them at once to make them resonate overall the team found 10 to 100 times more plastic particles in the samples than other studies in results mason told cnn were groundbreaking the researchers also looked for seven individual types of plastic they found significant amounts of pet plastic which is what water bottles are typically made from as well as a nylon called polyamide that is likely used to filter the water however only around 10 of the nanoparticles in the samples could be identified as one of the seven types of plastics you still have a lot of people that because of marketing are convinced that bottled water is better mason told the washington post but this is what you re drinking in addition to that h2o the health effects of micro and nanoplastics are still being investigated but a lancet review published in december concluded that the existing research suggests exposure to the particles can lead to health effects through oxidative stress inflammation immune dysfunction altered biochemical and energy metabolism impaired cell proliferation disrupted microbial metabolic pathways abnormal organ development and carcinogenicity study co author beizhan yan of columbia university told the hill that nanoplastics may be more toxic because the smaller the particle size they are easy to get into the human bodies and then cross different barriers they could even enter cells interfering with the organelles within them and causing them to malfunction yan said another concern about plastics mason told cnn is the chemicals they may carry with them into the body all of those chemicals are used in the manufacturing of plastic so if a plastic makes its way into us it s carrying those chemicals with it and because the temperature of the body is higher than the outside those chemicals are going to migrate out of that plastic and end up in our body mason said the chemicals can be carried to your liver and your kidney and your brain and even make their way across the placental boundary and end up in an unborn child mason added so what is the healthiest way to drink water four of the study authors told the associated press that they had reduced the amount of bottled water they drank after the results yan next plans to study nanoplastics in tap water which has also been found to contain microplastics though fewer than had previously been detected in bottled water mason told cnn that she recommended drinking water from a reusable steel bottle or glass receptacle while jane houlihan research director for healthy babies bright futures offered advice for limiting plastic exposure more generally we can avoid consuming foods and beverages in plastic containers we can wear clothing made from natural fabrics and buy consumer products made from natural materials houlihan told cnn we can simply take stock of the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever feasible keep reading show less news news economy plastic pollution most popular
