In rain and snow precipitation, scientists have discovered an increase in the concentration of trifluoroacetate, which enters the environment through industrial production and the decomposition of pesticides. The increase in this acid's content can be dangerous as it can accumulate in water, soil, and even in human blood, and is resistant to natural degradation.Recent studies have also shown that psilocin, a substance from certain mushrooms, may have a positive effect on longevity and health. Mice that were given psilocin demonstrated improved health in old age, which could be promising for the treatment of mental disorders and the aging process.
