Contamination of the Biosphere with Mercury: Another Potential Consequence of On-going Climate Manipulation Using Aerosolized Coal Fly Ash | Chapter 08 | Current Perspectives to Environment and Climate Change Vol. 1
Objectives:
Atmospheric aerosol climate manipulation has been undertaken since at least the
beginning of the 21st century, with increasing frequency and duration, without
public discussion, and without disclosure of the particulate matter composition
being placed into the air we breathe. Nor have the effects of this activity on
biota including humans been discussed. Forensic evidence published in the
peer-reviewed scientific literature is consistent with coal fly ash (CFA), the
toxic waste-product of coal-burning, being the main undisclosed
geoengineering-particulate. The objective of this paper is to provide
additional evidence that the particulate matter aerosolized in the atmosphere
during geoengineering activities is coal fly ash and to consider the
concomitant potential consequences of contaminating the biosphere with mercury.
Methods:
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) was used to investigate
evidence bearing on the composition of geoengineering material.
Results: Analyses of rainwater and snow provide further evidence that coal fly ash is the primary component dispersed in the atmosphere for geoengineering purposes. Consequently, this near-daily, near-global climate manipulation activity poses a previously unrecognized risk for environmental mercury contamination by deliberately aerosolized CFA that contains mercury in variable amounts (Table 1) ranging as high as 2 µg/g.
Conclusion:
Despite strengthened mercury emission regulations, mercury measured in
rainwater is increasing. Since it is known that the upper troposphere contains
oxidized, particle-bound mercury, it is likely that covert aerosolized coal fly
ash sprayed into this region is a major source of mercury pollution. Mercury
affects multiple systems in the body, potentially causing neurological,
cardiovascular, genitourinary, reproductive, immunological, and even genetic
disease. Because atmospheric climate manipulation using coal-fly-ash-based
aerosols represents a potential globally pervasive environmental-source of this
toxic element, it must be recognized and appropriate steps taken to halt
climate geoengineering.
