BLOB NEWS

National Geographic News | Giant, Mucus-Like Sea Blobs on the Rise, Pose Danger

Beware of the blob—this time, it's for real.

As sea temperatures have risen in recent decades, enormous sheets of a mucus-like material have begun forming more often, oozing into new regions, and lasting longer, a new Mediterranean Sea study says (sea "mucus" blob pictures).

And the blobs may be more than just unpleasant.

Up to 124 miles (200 kilometers) long, the mucilages appear naturally, usually near Mediterranean coasts in summer. The season's warm weather makes seawater more stable, which facilitates the bonding of the organic matter that makes up the blobs (Mediterranean map).

Now, due to warmer temperatures, the mucilages are forming in winter too—and lasting for months.

Until now, the light-brown "mucus" was seen as mostly a nuisance, clogging fishing nets and covering swimmers with a sticky gel—newspapers from the 1800s show beach-goers holding their noses, according to study leader Roberto Danovaro, director of the marine science department at the Polytechnic University of Marche in Italy.

But the new study found that Mediterranean mucilages harbor bacteria and viruses, including potentially deadly E. coli, Danovaro said. Those pathogens threaten human swimmers as well as fish and other sea creatures, according to the report, published September 16 in the journal PloS One.

Runaway Box Car Derails In Adams County

Covered Car Filled With Plastic Pellets

3:13 pm MDT October 8, 2009 ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. -- A runaway rail way car headed to the Denver area was stopped when it derailed near 60th Avenue and Federal Boulevard in Adams County Thursday morning.Steve Forsberg, spokesman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, said the car had been standing still on the track when it rolled uncontrolled down the tracks.It rolled east "several miles" because of the downward slope, Forsberg said. The car stopped at the junction where Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks join Union Pacific tracks.

Forsberg said the car was loaded with condensed plastic pellets, which are not considered hazardous. Some of the pellets spilled when the car tipped over but because the car was covered, not all of the material spilled. The pellets are the raw form of plastic used to make various plastic products, he said.BNSF is investigating what caused the car to roll.No one was injured, no rail traffic was affected and no property was damaged, Forsberg said. The line that the car had been sitting on ends in Golden and is not used heavily.Three counties -- Adams, Denver, and Jefferson Counties -- were all called out to handle the runaway car.It was first reported at about 8:30 a.m.
