Hello Everyone,
I hope your week has been wonderful despite the world around us.
As I promised earlier, we would be working on the subject of pollution, how it affects us, and find solutions to help. We previously covered particulate matter (PM) pollution and now we’ll cover microplastics in water.
My wife Van, is an environmental engineer with a major in water treatment and she has been researching the prevalence and harms of microplastic pollution. She comes from a beautiful island and has always been passionate about having clean water and air. She helps me a lot with respect to hydrogen research as well due to her great understanding of the chemistry of water and quality of hydrogen production systems. So most of the following is from her blog with my added insights into the research on hydrogen to reduce the harmful effects of microplastics and pollution.
In a global survey on tap water from six different regions on five continents consisting of 159 samples analyzed, 83% were found to contain plastic particles. Most of these particles were fibers (99.7%), between 0.1 – 5 mm in length. The range was between 0 and 57 particles per liter, with an overall mean of 4.34 n/L. The highest density of plastic per volume of tap water was found in North America and Lebanon and the lowest densities were found, collectively, in seven European countries.
If you think you are safe from microplastics as you live in the country-side or forest, away from a city, just google microplastics in forest and you’ll see that it’s an issue that is omnipresent. So we can’t avoid it so easily, let’s learn about it, knowledge is power.
Effects of Microplastics in Water
Microplastics in water can be absorbed through the skin, ingested through the gastrointestinal system or inhaled through the lungs. These microplastics can physically block the digestive system, stimulate the mucous membrane, and injure it. When these microplastics further disintegrate to form ultra small particles called nanoplastics (<100 nanometers), they are able to pass through the primary tissue barrier in the body and penetrate the capillary blood vessel through the blood stream, which can be dispersed throughout the body. Additionally, the nanoplastic nanoparticles are hydrophobic in nature and do not dissolve in water but disperse readily. It is a huge concern because its presence has been recently in air samples, food, seawater, drinking water and astoundingly in human breast milk.
A recent study examined Rainbow Trout that were given food containing microplastics (specifically 15% polypropylene [PP] and 15% polyethylene [PE]) for two months. Researchers found microplastic (PP+PE) toxicity in various parts of the fish, including the muscles, liver, gills, and gastrointestinal tract. The study further found that Hydrogen Rich Water (HRW) had a mitigating effect on the microplastics-mediated toxicity in the fishes’ brain. Molecular Hydrogen was suggested as a cost effective and eco-friendly curative for the protection of fish from the oxidative damages produced by the ingestion of microplastics.
Molecular Hydrogen therapy has shown anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ability in many clinical trials. Recent research on Hydrogen therapy for anti-aging shows the incredible benefits of hydrogen inhalation therapy for IBS, brain disorders, COPD, lung cancer, asthma, hearth health disorders and more.
Hydrogen gas therapy and hydrogen-rich water may enhance the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, mitochondrial energy metabolism, the immune system, circadian clock and regulate cell death (apoptosis and autophagy) and therefore has therapeutic potential for several conditions.
The preventive and healing benefits of Hydrogen therapy have seen hundreds of published research studies and trials for various pathological and cellular processes.
In recent published research studies, hydrogen therapy has been found beneficial for respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, digestive, reproductive, urinary, motor, and sensory system diseases, as well as for the treatment of metabolic syndrome and cancer.

Hydrogen/Oxygen Generators - Inhalation and HRW Machines
From our side at PEMF-devices.com, we've been busy trying various wellness tech devices to provide the very best in terms of effectiveness as well as customer support, so that our families and readers can have at least some of the best tools to support their mental and physical well-being. The following 3 H2 machines are currently available and delivered worldwide with free shipping.
H2 + O2 Ultra 3000
The Hi-Tech H2+O2 Ultra 3000 is a full-featured molecular hydrogen and oxyhydrogen (H2/O2) generator and also allows you to make hydrogen-rich water. It produces up to 2000 milliliters per minute (ml/min) of 99.99% pure hydrogen gas. The machine additionally provides 1000 ml/min of oxygen for a combined output of 3000 ml/min (3 L/min) of hydrogen and oxygen together.
Ultra 1500 provides up to 1000 ml/min of pure hydrogen and 500 ml/min of oxygen for a combined output of 1000 ml/min of hydrogen and oxygen mixed.
Ultra 900 provides up to 600 ml/min of pure hydrogen and 300 ml/min of oxygen for a combined output of 1000 ml/min of hydrogen and oxygen mixed.
Basic H2
The Hi-Tech Hydrogen Inhaler Basic is a light-weight hydrogen electrolyzer that provides molecular hydrogen inhalation and allows you to make hydrogen-rich water at home. It produces pure hydrogen and oxygen and has ISO, water quality and CE certifications.
H2 + O2 at 150 ml/min + 75 ml/min respectively. Oxygen can be mixed with Hydrogen or you can also use pure Hydrogen. Makes perfect hydrogen-rich water.
Bipolar Air Ionizers
High-voltage bipolar air ionization is a method of air purification that generates positively and negatively charged particles into an environment to clean the air. Bipolar air ionizers release charged air ions that attach to and deactivate harmful pollutants and micro-organisms like bacteria, mold, allergens, and viruses. These ions will electrically charge PM and the particles will be deposited/precipitated more rapidly than uncharged ones. Charged PM can easily sink faster or attach to nearby surfaces. A recent study found that bipolar air ionization can decrease PM0.5, PM2.5, PM10 and black carbon (BC)by 48%, 44%, 34% and 50%, respectively.
essencAir Bipolar Air Ionizer
The EssencAir is an effective air purifier and air disinfectant for a large room or lobby. It utilizes 2 technologies – high-voltage (12,000 V) bipolar air ionization and a saline-based filter.
The EssencAir is an elegant air disinfectant machine is designed to restrict pollutants and kill viruses and bacteria in the air. The EssencAir can also eliminate bad odors as it generates negative ions.
