We PRODUCE Nano-Plastics by disinfecting water by a combo of CIO2 and HClO in municipal water systems. ChIorine Dioxide (as beneficial and efficient it is both topically as well as systemically) is like the airforce, the spike of the force, diffusing into the pipe walls, and HClO is infant…
We PRODUCE Nano-Plastics by disinfecting water by a combo of CIO2 and HClO in municipal water systems. ChIorine Dioxide (as beneficial and efficient it is both topically as well as systemically) is like the airforce, the spike of the force, diffusing into the pipe walls, and HClO is infantry.
And system knows it for ecades, as HDPE pipes are all equipped by anti-oxidants in plastic resin, polyphenols, that degrade to very icky sounding molecules.
I did not find health assessment of these degradation products, both of PolyEthylene, and of the plastic-resin Polyphenols, which I find … typical after collecting the symptoms of state of play the last 3 years.
But I did find a paper dealing with the question of corrosion.
See p. 14 for some impression on degradation molecules.
It seems the combo is able to gnaw through thick plastic pipes in ca. 30years, dismantling all to nano.
In a sane world, we would not induce toxic nanomaterial just for “safety” against some (mostly harmless) bacteria on a prophylactic base with horrendous side effects.
In a sane world, we would find other solutions.
E.g. use UV-C bulbs or LEDs at wells or pumping stations, and a short stainless steel cooldown pipe lengths, as O3 is most aggressive, but quickly decomposed, and perhaps repeat at some drinking water of immuno-compromised in houses, if necessary.
Done.
Now I found it is easy to bind nanoplastics by growing crystals, so in saturated solutions.
Just look at the DIY magnesium bicarbonate water production Dr. Marc Sircus explains.
I observed that it dragged out magnanese and probably nanoplastic from my tap water to a little ball at the bottom of the flask.
At another occasion, I dosed Mg(OH)2 more generously and had a crystal encrusting over large areas of the glass.
If you like to introduce filters to your water, search for things like anti-oxidant dosing into the water to destroy remaining oxidants, before you shove it through filters that would decay themselves to nanoplastics. Or use forever plastics like PVDF filtration capillaries.
Afterwards, everything below 10nm is still in the water, so we have to filtrate the portion for cooking and drinking by generous filtration lengths of e.g. activated carbon.
Please comment if you can imagine it works, or have better approaches , please.
So far I think that even reverse osmosis perhaps is not targeting nanoplastics efficiently.
By the way, exposing CIO2 to (UV) (sun) light can split up even silicon, so will decompose some of the hardest-to-crack pollutants, but the chamber in which you let that happen wants to be designed cleverly, materials chosen wisely.
I wanted to disinfect my pool by hanging a silicone clip of MMS1 bag into the inrush stream, where CIO2 diffuses through the silicone as it is a membrane (even useable for fuel cells), and it worked well. But I let it hung for three days, not covered against daylight, after which the silicone was milky and very brittle.
So CIO2 can do both: produce nanoplastics, but also could decompose it (or rather secondary O. And OH. Radicals) to harmless little molecules.
Think nano-plastic: micro-plastic is not the end.
