In this article, I review the scientific literature showing that toxic heavy metals and microplastics have a synergistic toxic effect. This has been well established in environmental studies. EDTA is used for detoxification of contaminated soils and wastewater, which should be of interest in people who have heavily contaminated soils and want to grow their own food. Plants uptake the toxic metals that are sprayed via military geoengineering operations, poisoning our biosphere – thus affecting even the most environmentally aware soils and water. Heavy metals testing of soil and water is commercially available.
The Unseen Threat of the Synergistic Effects of Microplastics and Heavy Metals in Aquatic Environments: A Critical Review
The interplay between MPs and other chemical contaminants, including heavy metal ions and organic contaminants, has raised significant health concerns for both humans and aquatic life [13, 15, 20]. The rough surfaces and numerous functional groups of MPs enable the attachment of heavy metals and organic contaminants, influencing their environmental behaviour [8, 17]. Heavy metals are hazardous contaminants and can persist with threatening impacts on ecosystems, food quality, and human health safety
Recent studies have revealed the adsorption capacity of both new and aged MPs with heavy metals like Pb, Cr, Fe, Zn, Sn, Ti, Mn, Al, Cu, and Ni, in aqueous environments However, there exists a remarkable scarcity of research concerning the adsorption of metals. In particular, minimal effort has been made to comprehend the mechanisms governing the sorption interactions between MPs and heavy metals.
The synergistic toxicity of metals and microplastics in fish is also reported:
A recent research revealed that when zebrafish were exposed to both MPs (specifically polystyrene) and Cd, they experienced oxidative harm and inflammation. Moreover, there was a heightened accumulation of Cd in their liver, intestines, and gills. This combined exposure amplified the detrimental effects of Cd on the fish’s tissues
In humans, microplastics increase the stroke risk by 51 times, make people 4.5 times more likely to have a heart attack and it is well known that heavy metals like lead increase cardiovascular mortality by >50%.
Plaque buildup in the necks of stroke survivors may be loaded with microplastics
The concentration of so-called micronanoplastics in carotid arteries was 51 times higher in plaque from people who’d had a stroke, mini-stroke or temporary blindness compared to amounts found in the walls of plaque-free carotid arteries. Even people with carotid artery plaque who had not experienced any of those conditions still had 16 times more micronanoplastics in their plaque.
Toxic metals like Lead are known to increase cardiovascular and all cause mortality.
The association between whole-blood lead concentration and all-cause or cardiovascular disease mortality in hypertensive patients
Lead has a half life of 30 years in the body and bioaccumulates in the bone.
Do We Underestimate Risk of Cardiovascular Mortality due to Lead Exposure?
The findings suggest that the true cardiovascular mortality effects of lead exposure in the US could be approximately 1.5 to 2 times greater than what has been previously.
The estimated number of CVD deaths attributable to lead exposure in the US was approximately 180,000 annually if blood lead was used as an exposure marker, but this number would double to 360,000 deaths per year if predicted tibia lead was used instead. These results suggest that risk assessments based on BLLs may underestimate the actual mortality risk of lead exposure. We also confirm that predicted bone lead variables were associated with CVD mortality independent of the predictors of bone lead markers
EDTA increases excretion of Lead by 4800%. Of note, most humans have synergistic high levels of multiple toxic metals as shown in the heavy metals test below.
I have previously discussed microplastics and have pointed out that the Moderna patent admits that Stealth plastic nanoparticles are within the COVID19 injections. Understanding now the findings of significant increases of microplastics in human tissue, plus the fact that we are being poisoned by heavy metals in vaccines, food, drinking water – makes the consideration of detoxification more reasonable. The toxicity of microplastics and metals are synergistic-ally enhanced as discussed above.
We know that 55 toxic metals were found within the COVID19 injections.

Accumulation of toxic metals in vegetable crops and associated dietary exposure risks to human health
Heavy metal contamination in food systems has emerged as a critical global concern due to its persistent nature and serious implications for food safety and public health. Rapid industrialization, urban expansion, and unsustainable agricultural practices especially the use of untreated wastewater for irrigation have contributed significantly to the accumulation of toxic metals in agricultural soils and edible crops.
Different microplastics have variable absorption rates of heavy metals.
Factors Affecting the Adsorption of Heavy Metals by Microplastics and Their Toxic Effects on Fish
Fish not only constitute an important trophic level in aquatic ecosystems but also serve as an important source of protein for human beings. The health of fish is related to the sustained and healthy development of their entire aquatic ecosystem. Due to the widespread use, mass production, high disposal frequency, and degradation resistance of plastics, these pollutants are released into aquatic environments on a large scale. They have become one of the fastest growing pollutants and have a substantial toxic effect on fish. Microplastics have intrinsic toxicity and can absorb heavy metals discharged into water. The adsorption of heavy metals onto microplastics in aquatic environments is affected by many factors and serves as a convenient way for heavy metals to migrate from the environment to organisms. Fish are exposed to both microplastics and heavy metals. In this paper, the toxic effects of heavy metal adsorption by microplastics on fish are reviewed, and the focus is on the toxic effects at the individual (survival, feeding activity and swimming, energy reserves and respiration, intestinal microorganisms, development and growth, and reproduction), cellular (cytotoxicity, oxidative damage, inflammatory response, neurotoxicity, and metabolism) and molecular (gene expression) levels. This facilitates an assessment of the pollutants’ impact on ecotoxicity and contributes to the regulation of these pollutants in the environment.
EDTA has been used to decontaminate soil, water, animals and humans:
Use of EDTA and CaCl[sub.2] Extraction Methods to Predict the Bioavailability of Heavy Metals in Soils Polluted with Microplastics.
There is growing concern about microplastics entering the food chain, as the surface of chemically active microplastics (MPs) allows them to absorb toxic contaminants, e.g., heavy metals [1], modifying their mobility and bioavailability in soil and, thus, causing a risk of higher accumulation of metals in plants and micro-organisms.
Using single extraction methods for predicting the bioavailability of heavy metals (HMs) in polluted soils has always been challenging. There is no consensus about a methodology in which extractants indicate the bioavailability of HMs close to natural soil conditions with the impact of root exudates. The uptake of metals by plants is mostly facilitated by the exchangeable and water-soluble fractions of metal, which can be indicated by the use of single extraction protocols using weak acids, salts, or chelating agents like EDTA. EDTA is a powerful chelating agent that can extract a wide range of heavy metals from soil. It is highly effective in mobilizing metals by forming stable metal complexes, which can include metals bound to organic matter and other soil fractions. Studies have shown that EDTA can extract high concentrations of metals, such as Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn, from contaminated soils and sediments [26]. For example, EDTA extracted the highest concentrations of soil-borne metals compared to other extractants like tartaric acid and water [27]. The efficiency of removing HMs from soil depends on many factors, such as the speciation of HMs in soil, the strength of EDTA, the presence of other cations in the solution, and soil pH. EDTA is a strong chelating agent that is widely used for extracting heavy metals from soil,
This study provides critical insights into the intricate interactions between microplastics (MPs), heavy metals (HMs), and soil properties, demonstrating their significant impact on metal bioavailability, sorption processes, and soil chemistry. The findings indicate that the presence of MPs alters soil pH, with polyester (PES) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) leading to the most pronounced pH increases. These pH changes influence metal mobilization and immobilization, affecting extraction efficiency and the overall risk associated with heavy metal contamination. The comparison of extraction methods revealed that 0.05 M EDTA was more effective in mobilizing metals from soil, whereas 0.01 M CaCl[sub.2] provided a more ecologically relevant measure of bioavailable metal fractions. This highlights the importance of selecting appropriate extraction techniques when assessing metal contamination risks. Additionally, the sorption experiments demonstrated that MPs serve as additional adsorption sites, with HDPE enhancing Pb immobilization while increasing the mobility of Cd and Co. These results confirm the dual role of MPs in regulating metal behavior, either facilitating immobilization or promoting mobility, depending on specific metal–polymer interactions. The implications of these findings extend beyond laboratory conditions, emphasizing the need for more sophisticated approaches to predict and mitigate the combined impact of MPs and HMs on soil health.
The cleaning of wastewater with EDTA from poisonous toxic metals has been performed since 1948:
Effects of EDTA on Wastewater Treatment
It turns out that EDTA even eliminated antibiotics and other pharmaceutical drugs from wetlands:
Enhanced Removal of Common Wastewater-Derived Trace Organic Contaminants in Vertical-Flow Constructed Wetlands Amended with Fe(III)-EDTA
The study combined a 7-month monitoring campaign, 3 different hydraulic regimes, and soil extraction data to elucidate the effects of the amendment on the fate of the TrOCs within the systems. Our results indicate that Fe-EDTA contributed to the degradation of carbamazepine and sulfamethoxazole under the studied flow regimes. Iron-amended soil columns (n = 5/9 columns fed for 7 months with synthetic domestic wastewater) removed 12 ± 19% of influent carbamazepine (the most recalcitrant TrOC included in the study), 18% higher than the control columns. Operating the columns with periods of retention and discharge further improved carbamazepine and sulfamethoxazole removal efficiency (removal increased to 49 ± 7.6% and 81 ± 9.2% of influent concentrations, respectively). The more readily degradable compounds atenolol and trimethoprim were removed with >97% efficiency in both control and amended columns, regardless of flow.
It is capable of removing toxic heavy metals AND organic pollutants such as pesticides, herbicides, and oil spill contaminants.
The Application of EDTA in Wastewater Treatment
EDTA (Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid) is a versatile chemical that has found extensive applications in various industries, including wastewater treatment. This article will explore the role of EDTA in wastewater treatment and its benefits for water quality improvement.
Understanding EDTA’s Properties
Industrial grade EDTA is a highly effective chelating agent that can bind to metal ions such as calcium, iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium. Its primary function is to prevent these metal ions from interacting with each other and forming insoluble complexes, which can cause hardness, staining, and corrosion in water. By chelating these metal ions, EDTA helps to maintain the balance of essential minerals in water and promote better water quality.
Application of water cleaning agent EDTA in Wastewater Treatment
EDTA is widely used in wastewater treatment processes to remove heavy metals and organic pollutants. Some of the key applications of EDTA in wastewater treatment are:
1. Heavy Metal Removal: EDTA is effective in removing a wide range of heavy metals from wastewater, including lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc, and copper. The chelation of these metal ions by EDTA prevents them from causing environmental pollution and potential health hazards.
2. Organic Pollutant Degradation: EDTA can also adsorb organic pollutants such as pesticides, herbicides, and oil spill contaminants. The removal of these organic pollutants not only improves water quality but also protects aquatic life and ecosystems.
EDTA has been used for detoxification of many animal species, here is more information:

As part of a comprehensive cancer treatment, a stage four prostate cancer patient with severe fatigue and cognitive decline, weight loss, gait abnormality was treated by me palliative with EDTA Chelation, in addition to intravenous high dose Vitamin C, Artesemia annua, DMSO, and multiple other interventions. His provoked heavy metals test showed significant toxicity with both Aluminum and Lead, in synergistic addition with other heavy metals like Uranium, Mercury, Cadmium and others. All can contribute to development of cancer as well as significant cognitive impairment which is reversible. Within 2 weeks of comprehensive treatment the patient achieved a significant improvement in overall wellbeing, with improvement of cognition, energy, gait and quality of life.
Given synergistic toxicity of metals and microplastics detoxification with EDTA Chelation could be considered in such cases, given the extreme environmental pollution problem caused not just by industrial contamination but poisoning from military weather warfare geoengineering operations.
Farmers could consider to detoxify the soil from the geoengineering contamination with the above mentioned EDTA methods after soil sampling. Consulting experts should be considered.

Please note I use EDTA, Vitamin C and DMSO and other molecules depending on severity of symptoms. I started using Intravenous and oral DMSO last year in my clinical practice, and it has been magnificent in its many benefits and you can read great articles about its beneficial effects written by the The Midwestern Doctor. DMSO can extract plastics and metals and I have noticed significant improvement in detoxification as well as treatment when adding DMSO to the IV and oral treatments. Researcher Maria Crisler showed benefits of DMSO on micro-technology contamination of blood a couple years ago. Plastics and metals extraction with DMSO has been studied as well:
