We found 191 pesticides, 107 pharmaceuticals and 81 industrial compounds among many others in the recycled plastic pellets.

This sentence seems so meaningless. Things being pesticides or pharmaceuticals doesn’t make them harmful and even if they are harmful, are they in concentrations that matter for humans?

The science article they link: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk9846

Uses much better more meaningful language to describe the same problem! It is also much shorter and easier to read.

This article quotes the “1/3 of 1%” number for large scale property investors. Seems like the vast majority of property buys are still people that intend to live there, though the “49% of 26%” (btw why are all the statistics in these weird formats???) are 1-9 property owners”mom and pop” investors. That number is actually way bigger than i thought. I could see this being a problem is some locations more than others though. That might make the problem feel bigger in some areas.
