"Environmental issues with the Three Gorges Dam, which is currently under construction on Yangtze River, include degraded water quality, detriments to wildlife, potential riverbank collapses, and potential silt related falling of coastal areas. Currently, the quality of water in the higher banks of Yangtze is slowly worsening, due to the dam's preventing dispersal of pollutants; algal blooms have risen progressively since the dam’s construction[/u][/B][/SIZE]; and soil erosion has increased, causing riverbank collapses and landslides.[1]" (*appears to be fresh water)

"An algal bloom is a rapid increase in the population of algae in an aquatic system. Algal blooms may occur in freshwater as well as marine environments. Typically, only one or a small number of phytoplankton species are involved, and some blooms may be recognized by discoloration of the water resulting from the high density of pigmented cells. Although there is no officially recognized threshold level, algae can be considered to be blooming at concentrations of hundreds to thousands of cells per milliliter, depending on the severity. Algal bloom concentrations may reach millions of cells per milliliter. Algal blooms are often green, but they can also be yellow-brown or red, depending on the species of algae. Bright green blooms are a result of blue-green algae, which are actually bacteria ( cyanobacteria). Blooms may also consist of macroalgal, not phytoplankton, species. These blooms are recognizable by large blades of algae that may wash up onto the shoreline. "Black water" is a dark discoloration of sea water, first described in the Florida Bay in January 2002.[1][2] DevelopmentAlgal blooms are the result of an excess of nutrients, particularly PHOSPHORUS. The excess of nutrients may originate from fertilizers that are applied to land for agricultural or recreational purposes, these nutrients can then enter watersheds through water runoff.[5] Excess carbon and nitrogen have also been suspected as causes, but research has shown that this is not the case.[6] When phosphates are introduced into water systems, higher concentrations cause increased growth of algae and plants. Algae tend to out-compete plants under these conditions, and many plant species may begin to die. This dead organic matter becomes food for bacteria that decomposes it. With more food available, the bacteria increase in number and use up the dissolved oxygen in the water. When the dissolved oxygen content decreases, many fish and aquatic insects cannot survive. This results in a dead area."

We have stated that what we are calling the Peridiscaceae Seed (mislabeled "Crypto" in earlier writings) is from the cyanobacteria family. This places the possiblility of this seed being the active agent that is involved with the Three Gorges Dam.
Since American Corporations hide a lot of their China factory information/association, for whatever reasons, the exact locations of these factories is proving hard to find. However, I believe that if we had such 'inside' information, we would find that the factories that manufacture the above mentioned specific products should have a factory near this water source.
Since the outbreak of the new Chinese disease called Strongylus monospinigerum, aka. Morgellons has been associated with the flooding from this dam, we might assume that the active cyanobacterial agent is likely to be what and from where we are suggesting here, the Three Gorges Dam?
We see mention of the possibilites of the different colors of algae (fungus), such as the black and green that have been identified in earlier human specimens. I am suggesting that the black and green will match the algae from this region, and that the PD seed should be found in this region.
I'm also suggesting that since this dam has had serious silt issues that we will find that Chromium and Neodymium should be a natural part of this regions soil chemistry. That Chromium and Neodymium have run off into this water source in large amounts.
Due to my strain of Morgellons, I have a lesion that I naturally touch with my fingertips and I have commented and documented many, many times in the past about this concerning NUMBING agent. Phosphorus is known for its numbing affect. Phosphorus is also placed at this dam.

SHARKS! I watched a special on YouTube (I think, I'll look to see if it's still out there) on how sharks, which are known to be of salt water have been found as far north as the Great Lakes in the U.S. That they have entered at the base of the Mississippi and traveled up that far. Fishermen have caught them and the sharks have transitioned from being salt water creatures into fresh water by moving upstream and adapting.

Quote=Jeany Another aspect we should consider! Global warming damaging sea's food web: scientists Global warming damaging sea's food web: scientists -- china.org.cnGlobal warming increases the rate of "ocean acidification" and is damaging some of the most important living organisms in the sea's food web, US scientists have warned. The world's oceans now absorb millions of tons of the global warming gas each year, and thus help to slow the pace of climate change, but the benefit is far outweighed by extreme and damaging changes in the water's chemistry due to global warming, according to two studies published in the journal Science available on Friday. Feely's study warned that if greenhouse gas emissions continue uncontrolled, the world's oceans in this century will become 150 percent more acidic than they are today. Feely's report showed that ocean waters welling up from the depths along the Pacific Coast from Canada to Mexico are threatening a wide variety of marine organisms as carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas, saturates the water and increases its corrosive acidity. Each spring along the West Coast, winds from the northwest blow strongly across the sea surface toward the shore and generate strong upwelling currents, Feely explained. The upwelling, in turn, brings water saturated with carbon dioxide from the deep bottom toward the surface. Then, as the gas mixes with seawater, it becomes carbonic acid, and when that acidity of the water becomes strong enough, it can dissolve the calcium carbonate shells of many of the sea's most important animals. The acid can endanger all kinds of marine animals, from the shells of microscopic plankton to the beaks of giant squid. Jeany

High Arsenic Levels? QUOTE=Jeany Scientists planting seed of hope Scientists planting seed of hope -- china.org.cnSoil pollution is a hidden danger, albeit one just as deep-rooted as air and water contamination. But in comparison, it is the biggest threat to the planet as it can only be stopped by human intervention, said Chen Tongbin, a senior scientist with the geographic science and resources institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
About 90 percent of all wastewater in China makes its way to the fields. If that waste contains even slight traces of heavy metals, it could take at least three years for the soil to recover, he said.
About a fifth of China's arable land was polluted by the end of the 20th century, revealed official environmental figures, while waste containing heavy metals attributed to half that figure.
Every year, soil pollution affects around 12 million tons of crops and leads to the infertility of 10 million more tons, causing direct losses of more than 20 billion yuan ($2.9 billion).
**Arsenic has long been used as a poison in China. Today, the substance, which leading environmental health scientist Jerome O. Nriagu said was "ubiquitous in nature, with high concentrations found in polluted environments", is in pesticides, herbicides and insecticides.
The latest incident made national headlines last October, when 450 villagers fell sick after drinking contaminated water in Hechi, a city in Guangxi. Four of them were confirmed to be suffering from arsenic poisoning.
Local authorities claimed torrential rain during a typhoon in September resulted in the overflow of wastewater containing arsenic on a company's premises. It was that water, they claimed, that had polluted nearby ponds and wells.
He had waited eight years for his "miracle" after flood water from the Huanjiang River carried mineral processing industry wastes from the dams of three major mining firms on the upper reaches to lower watercourses, causing infertility in more than 5,000 mu (333 hectares) of arable land, including Zhou's 0.6 mu.
The program specifically aimed to "assess soil quality across the country by analyzing the amount of heavy metals, pesticide residue and organic pollutants in the soil", it said, adding that soil recovery technologies through plants might have a market worth US$2 billion.
**No legislation on the prevention of soil pollution exists in China. Talks of a relevant draft have been in the media for years, but there has nothing substantial so far.

QUOTE=Jeany Arsenic poisoning
Arsenic poisoning kills by allosteric inhibition of essential metabolic enzymes, leading to death from multi-system organ failure. It primarily inhibits enzymes that require lipoic acid as a cofactor, such as pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Because of this, substrates before the dehydrogenase steps accumulate, such as pyruvate (and lactate). It particularly affects the brain, causing neurological disturbances and death. The toxicity of arsenic and its compounds is highly variable.Organic forms appear to have a lower toxicity than inorganic forms of arsenic. Research has shown that arsenites (trivalent forms) have a higher acute toxicity than arsenates (pentavalent forms) The acute minimal lethal dose of arsenic in adults is estimated to be 70 to 200 mg or 1 mg/kg/day.Most reported arsenic poisonings are not caused by elemental arsenic, but by one of arsenics compounds, especially arsenic trioxide, which is approximately 500 times more toxic than pure arsenic. Symptoms include violent stomach pains in the region of the bowels; tenderness and pressure; retching; excessive saliva production; vomiting; sense of dryness and tightness in the throat; thirst; hoarseness and difficulty of speech; the matter vomited, greenish or yellowish, sometimes streaked with blood; diarrhea; tenesmus; sometimes excoriation of the anus; urinary organs occasionally affected with violent burning pains and suppression; convulsions and cramps; clammy sweats; lividity of the extremities; countenance collapsed; eyes red and sparkling; delirium; death. Some of these symptoms may be absent where the poisoning results from inhalation, as of arseniuretted hydrogen. Symptoms of arsenic poisoning start with mild headaches and can progress to lightheadedness and usually, if untreated, will result in death. Arsenic poisoning can lead to a variety of problems, from skin cancer to keratoses of the feet. Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic may lead to cutaneous hyperpigmentation. Industries that use inorganic arsenic and its compounds include wood preservation, glass production, nonferrous metal alloys, and electronic semiconductor manufacturing. Inorganic arsenic is also found in coke oven emissions associated with the smelter industry. Occupational exposure to arsenic may occur with copper or lead smelting and wood treatment, among workers involved in the production or application of pesticides containing organic arsenicals. Humans are exposed to arsenic through air, drinking water, and food (meat, fish, and poultry); this food is usually the largest source of arsenic. Arsenic was also found in wine if arsenic pesticides are used in the vineyard. Arsenic is well absorbed by oral and inhalation routes, widely distributed and excreted in urine; most of a single, low-level dose is excreted within a few days after consuming any form of inorganic arsenic. Remains of arsenic in nails and hair can be detected years after the exposure. Chronic arsenic poisoning results from drinking water with high levels of arsenic over a long period of time. This may occur due to arsenic contamination of groundwater. The World Health Organization recommends a limit of 0.01 mg/L (10ppb) of arsenic in drinking water. This recommendation was established based on the limit of detection of available testing equipment at the time of publication of the WHO water quality guidelines. More recent findings show that consumption of water with levels as low as 0.00017 mg/L (0.17ppb) over long periods of time can lead to arsenicosis. Jeany

So, we should be checked for Arsenic levels in our bodies, too?
(*I tell my story of when I was bedridden from July 08 - Nov 08, it felt as if I had been posioned, in my initial research, I found that with the brain fog, lack of being able to function on every day living levels, having a form of paralysis of the central and peripherial nervous systems, etc. - that this resembled pesticide overload posioning in earlier posts.
I made the comment that I was so sick and incapicated that I could not get the clothes from my washer to the dryer, I would re-wash the same load 2 or 3 times because it had soured waiting on me, I couldn't even load and unload the dishwasher, every task seemed mammoth! Thank goodness, I'm out of that stage, still not 100% to where I was, but at least, I can function now.
I didn't think that I might be heavy metal poisoned! but, it makes sense... that's what it felt like! Right now, as of recent blood examinations - all 3 of my liver enzymes are slightly out of range.)

Hey Jeany,
I think I need to run over to the Health Food Store and get something to detox heavy metals with, what should I get? I'm taking Quensyl and an antibiotic right now, I want to get the full benefits of this medicine? What do you suggest... again?
I am still having good days and bad days... I haven't had much energy until I started taking the medicine two days ago... I think that if anyone is feeling lethargic, like me, you should de-tox too.

Before I go to the store, I wanted to say that this thread is not about 'bashing' nor 'blaming' anyone for what's happened to us. I'm just in search of the truth. We can see that the Chinese people have good morals, there is nothing malicious about their intentions. They are victims of a different sort. Here is a quick 2 minute video that gives an idea of how they are struggling also: YouTube - Chinese Economy In Turmoil

Paper pollution en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_pollution The production, use and recycling of paper has a number of adverse effects on the environment which are known collectively as paper pollution. Pulp mills contribute to air, water and land pollution. Discarded paper is a major component of many landfill sites, accounting for about 35% by weight of municipal solid waste (before recycling). Even recycling paper can be a source of pollution due to the sludge produced during deinking.Pulp and paper is the third largest industrial polluter to air, water, and land in both Canada and the United States, and releases well over 100 million kg of toxic pollution each year. Chlorine and compounds of chlorine are used in the bleaching of wood pulp, especially chemical pulps produced by the kraft process or sulfite process. Plants using elemental chlorine produced significant quantities of dioxins. Dioxins are persistent organic pollutants that are generally recognized among the most toxic human-released pollutants in existence. Elemental chlorine has largely been replaced by chlorine dioxide and dioxin production very significantly reduced. The promise of complete removal of chlorine chemistry from bleaching processes to give a TCF (totally chlorine-free) process, which peaked in the mid-1990s, did not become reality. The economic disadvantages of TCF, the lack of stricter government regulation and consumer demand meant as of 2005 only 5-6% of kraft pulp is bleached without chlorine chemicals. A study based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data concluded that "Studies of effluents from mills that use oxygen delignification and extended delignification to produce ECF (elemental chlorine free) and TCF pulps suggest that the environmental effects of these processes are low and similar." T he used process water from a pulp mill contains a lot of organic material such as lignin and other organic material from the trees (including chlorinated organic material) resulting in high biological oxygen demanddissolved organic carbon (DOC). It also contains alcohols, and chelating agents and inorganic materials like chlorates and transition metalblack liquor) and burning it, using bioremediation ponds and employing less damaging agents in the pulping and bleaching processes can help reduce water pollution.Paper mill pollution It is a common misconception that all mills are "pulp and paper" mills. This is true only for "integrated mills" that consist of both a pulp mill and a paper mill on the same site. While pulp mills are often conspicuous by their size and odor, paper mills are often indistinguishable from factories seen in most communities. The major effluent from a paper mill is a suspension of paper fibers in water and it is in the mill's best interest to keep such fiber loss to a minimum since any lost fiber translates to lower paper production.
