WASHINGTON, DC - On May 20, 2025, Bay Atlantic University and the Global Policy Institute, in collaboration with the Creative Society and ALLATRA, hosted a significant event exploring the links between chronic diseases, natural disasters, and nanoplastic pollution.
The event commenced with a warm welcome from Paolo von Schirach, President of the Global Policy Institute (GPI) and Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Bay Atlantic University. Situated in the heart of Washington, DC, Bay Atlantic University is a distinguished private, non-profit institution that offers a wide range of programs to both domestic and international students, located just steps from the White House. The Global Policy Institute is an independent and non-partisan research organization dedicated to exploring pressing issues in global affairs, economics, energy, and education. Leveraging its extensive network of affiliated scholars, GPI engages in rigorous research, develops actionable policy recommendations, hosts influential events, and collaborates with political and business leaders to proactively address the world’s most pressing challenges.

Prominent presenters at the event included Dr. John Ahn from the ALLATRA International Public Movement’s Department of Analytical Earth Studies, Mr. Taliy Shkurupiy, a Global Systems and Research Analyst with ALLATRA IPM, and Ms. Olga Schmidt, President of Creative Society.
The program highlighted innovative research that emphasized the escalating crisis of nanoplastic pollution and its far-reaching effects on environmental and public health. Attendees were informed of alarming correlations between nanoplastics and serious health problems, including DNA mutations and impairment of neurological, skeletal, and cellular functions.
Key findings presented at the event illustrated how micro- and nanoplastic contamination disrupts ocean heat regulation, intensifying natural disasters. The research emphasized the urgent need to understand these environmental interconnections better. Two important resources shared during the event were the documentaries “Anthropogenic Factor in the Ocean’s Demise” and “Trap for Humanity.”
A significant segment of the program addressed the existential risk posed by the Siberian magmatic plume, with experts discussing controlled degassing as a vital preventive approach to planetary destabilization. ALLATRA analysts presented a report titled “On The Threat of a Magma Plume Eruption in Siberia and Strategies for Addressing the Issue” for further reading.
The event’s interactive format encouraged direct engagement between attendees and independent scientists through focused Q&A sessions.

“I think the presentation was very informative. I learned a lot,” Joshua Kaluwasha, Diplomatic Policy Advisor, Embassy of Zambia in the United States.
Ms. Danieh Shuaib, Director of Development at the Global Policy Institute, praised the presentation, stating: “ALLATRA and the Creative Society's Presentation on What Connects Chronic Diseases, Natural Disasters, and Nanoplastics was a well-organized, informative presentation that was very thought provoking. It was very clear, the dedicated team of professionals representing this research are working very hard on raising awareness regarding this delicate issue. Considering that pollution impacts all of our lives, it is important that the research continues to increase awareness so that effective and efficient solutions can be designed for a safer, healthier tomorrow for all of us.”
The event brought together an audience, united in their commitment to addressing one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time.
