Darshan H. Brahmbhatt, Podcast Editor of JACC: Advances discusses a recently published original research paper on Particulate matter-2.5 pollution impact on comorbid cancer and cardiovascular disease mortality in the United States

In this conversation, Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry interview Neil Carlson, a public health specialist with expertise in indoor air quality and mold. They discuss various mold-related topics, including its causes, identification, and remediation. Neil shares insights into his work in commercial and residential buildings, highlighting common problem areas such as air handling units, basements, bathrooms, and attics. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the building as a system and considering factors like humidity control, filtration, and ventilation. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the impact of cooking on indoor air quality. The conversation covers various topics related to indoor air quality, including the effects of particulate matter on health, monitoring for particulates in buildings, the importance of range hoods in kitchens, unique cases of mold growth, dealing with mold in homes, cleaning ductwork, and the challenges of sub-slab ductwork. Neil Carlson provides insights and recommendations based on his building science and HVAC systems expertise.TakeawaysMold growth is a common issue in commercial and residential buildings, with problem areas including air handling units, basements, bathrooms, and attics.Understanding the building as a system is crucial for addressing mold and indoor air quality issues, considering factors like humidity control, filtration, and ventilation.Proper maintenance and cleaning of HVAC systems, including air handling units and coils, can help prevent mold growth.Designing buildings with appropriate materials and insulation can reduce the risk of mold growth.Cooking can contribute to poor indoor air quality, with high particles generated during cooking. Particulate matter, tiny particulates, has a strong negative impact on people's health, and it is often created indoors from cooking and other sources.Monitoring particulates in buildings, especially kitchen areas, is important for maintaining good indoor air quality.Range hoods are crucial in kitchens to remove pollutants and particulates generated during cooking.Unique cases of mold growth, such as mold growing inside countertops and bagpipes, highlight the importance of proper maintenance and cleaning.Dealing with mold in homes requires caution, especially for individuals with compromised immune systems, and professional help may be necessary for larger mold problems.Cleaning ductwork can be beneficial if done correctly and thoroughly, but it can also create problems if not done properly.Sub-slab ductwork that continuously gets wet is difficult to address, and the best solution may be to fill it in with concrete and go with an elevated system.Using portable HEPA filtration systems can help improve indoor air quality, but it's important to oversize the filter and adjust the airflow to minimize noise.Understanding geology and drainage is crucial when dealing with sub-slab ductwork to prevent moisture and mold issues.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction01:36 Neil Carlson's Background and Expertise06:15 Common Problem Areas in Buildings11:21 Identifying Mold in Homes15:28 Mold Issues in Commercial Buildings21:23 The Impact of Cooking on Indoor Air Quality29:02 The Impact of Particulate Matter on Health30:20 Monitoring for Particulates in Buildings32:38 The Importance of Range Hoods in Kitchens33:07 Dealing with Mold in Homes37:54 Cleaning Ductwork: Benefits and Challenges41:46 Challenges of Sub-slab Ductwork45:17 Understanding Geology and Drainage in Sub-slab Ductwork50:50 Using Portable HEPA Filtration Systems

  April 22nd is Earth Day – 54 years since the first Earth Day that is credited with starting the environmentally movement and led to changes to protect the environment. However, Earth Day today is different. Climate change will be the focus of most of the Earth Day activities around the world. There will be talk about the changes in temperature, water levels, extreme weather and the dangers they pose physically to the planet. But how will climate change affect our brains and behaviors? A new book – The Weight of Nature: How a Changing Climate Changes Our Brains describes a profound and what could be depicted as a frightening future of neurological diseases, developmental disorders and increased anger and maybe even violence. The book was written by Clayton Page Aldern, a neuroscientist turned journalist , who was with us on The Spark Monday. Aldern explained how a changing claimate could impact our brains," There are cellular effects, those that are taking place at the level of the individual neuron, the individual brain cell. There are those that manifest at the level of the whole organism or at the individual, what's happening to us and our cognition and our behavior. And and then there are the effects that manifest again neurologically, but in the manner in which we treat one another right, in the interactions between people, the effects that manifest at the level of culture and socializing and and so, just to zoom the lens in a teeny bit very quickly at that cellular level, we're really talking about brain disease. We're talking about neurodegeneration and zoological diseases. This is the kind of stuff like bats, ticks, mosquitoes, all of these disease vectors that are responsible for brain diseases like yellow fever and cerebral malaria -- they're increasing their habitable ranges as a function of climate change. So even if we don't do anything differently as people, just the fact that there are more opportunities to come into contact with the ticks that cause brain disease will imply that there's going to be more brain disease in the future. And this is also true of the fact that climate change is really good at exposing us to neurotoxins. Environmental degradation is really good at exposing us to neurotoxins that we might not otherwise come into contact with. Air pollution is a great example. Particulate matter is really, really bad for your brain. It's one of these things that can cause low level inflammation in your brain. That chronically is likely one of the causes of something like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. So, these are really cellular level scientific effects at the level of the individual. It's more about behavior. Think about the fact that, you're maybe a little slower of a thinker on a hot day. You're not a you're not as good at solving problems. I certainly feel like I'm a little sluggish when it's really warm out. And and we know from behavioral economics studies, for example, that, students are less good at taking exams on, on hot days. It's also true that immigration judges, for example, are less likely to rule in favor of an asylum applicant on a hot day. All else equal. So so there there are some effects with respect to, cognition and impulsivity that manifest at the level of the person. And then there are the effects that are all about the manner in which we treat one another. And what is this doing to culture? And I think aggression is a nice example of that. The fact that people tend to be more aggressive on hotter days. We're more prone toward violence. This is an effect that has been understood for centuries effectively, and I've again certainly felt it. But but the point here is that this is a this is a universal shared experience in terms of anybody, or anything with, a nervous system, basically a brain higher temperatures appear to be related, to aggression. And so as temperatures continue to rise, we should expect to see, more aggressive acts. And indeed, again, when you look at the behavioral economics literature, for example, you see relationships between heat and racial discrimination claims or sexual harassment claims. You see relationships between heat and violence. The likelihood of civil riots, the likelihood that a baseball pitcher is going to hit a batter of the opposing team with their pitches, the extent to which a penalty in the NFL is going to be aggressive or less aggressive. All of these things. There have been studies illustrating the relationship between heat, and these outcomes. And so it spans, I think, so many different spatial scales. And this is to say nothing of the mental health effects, of which I think many folks are already familiar. These ideas around climate anxiety, the fact that post-traumatic stress disorder can be a very likely outcome from something like experiencing a hurricane or a wildfire."Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: On household dust, published by NinaR on June 30, 2023 on LessWrong. The dust that settles on the various surfaces in your house may seem innocuous - a pesky inconvenience that disrupts the aesthetic of your home. However, dust carries many microscopic particles and organisms that can impact human health. Dust control is vital in creating healthier living spaces. What is dust? House dust is a heterogeneous mixture of substances from sources such as soil particles, clothing fibers, atmospheric particulates, hair, allergens such as mold and pollen, microorganisms including bacteria and viruses, insect fragments, ash, soot, animal fur and dander, skin particles, residues from cooking and heating, and bits of building materials. A reproducible house dust sampling is challenging and highly dependent on the method. The Wikipedia article on dust cites the 1981 book "House dust biology: for Allergists, acarologists, and Mycologists," - "dust in homes is composed of about 20–50% dead skin cells". However, according to this newer 2009 study from the American Chemical Society, 60% of household dust comes from the outdoors, specifically soil resuspension, and track-in. Even more recently, the Australian Microplastic Assessment Project asked members of the public to collect house dust in specially prepared glass dishes, which was then analyzed by 360 Dust Analysis. They found 39% of the deposited dust particles were microplastics. It is likely that dust composition is very heavily location-dependent and has changed noticeably with time. Effects on human health Respiratory damage Particles that evade elimination in the nose or throat tend to settle in the sacs or close to the end of the airways. The macrophage system is a crucial part of our body's immune defense. When we breathe in dust or foreign particles, macrophages engulf and 'eat' these invaders, helping to keep our lungs clean. However, there's a limit to how much a macrophage can handle. If there's too much dust, the macrophages can become overwhelmed and not clear it all out. When this happens, the excess dust particles can accumulate in the lungs, leading to inflammation or other lung diseases. Cooking, open fireplaces, and smoking indoors add fine dust to your home and contaminants of concern, which are associated with poor health outcomes. Each year, 3.2 million people die prematurely from illnesses attributable to household air pollution caused by the incomplete combustion of solid fuels and kerosene used for cooking (see WHO's household air pollution data for details). Particulate matter and other pollutants in household air pollution inflame the airways and lungs, impair immune response and reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Allergies Dust mites, tiny organisms that feed off house dust and air moisture, are among the most common indoor allergens. In addition to allergic rhinitis, dust mite allergy can trigger asthma and cause eczema to flare. Mold, pollen, and animal hair in dust can also trigger allergies. These allergens permeate our indoor spaces and become part dust. Exposure to them can lead to various allergic reactions, from mild symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion, to more severe responses like asthma attacks. Furthermore, constant inhalation of these allergens can lower one's immune response over time, leading to chronic allergic conditions. Toxicity Dust can transport toxic substances, such as heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants, contributing to various health issues over time. Chemicals used in pesticides, clothing, and furniture can combine with dust in our homes. Toxic flame retardants are used in countless domestic products and can make their way into dust. According to this 2005 American Chemical Society study, "Inadvertent ingestion of house dust is the...

The dust that settles on the various surfaces in your house may seem innocuous - a pesky inconvenience that disrupts the aesthetic of your home. However, dust carries many microscopic particles and organisms that can impact human health. Dust control is vital in creating healthier living spaces. What is dust? House dust is a heterogeneous mixture of substances from sources such as soil particles, clothing fibers, atmospheric particulates, hair, allergens such as mold and pollen, microorganisms including bacteria and viruses, insect fragments, ash, soot, animal fur and dander, skin particles, residues from cooking and heating, and bits of building materials. A reproducible house dust sampling is challenging and highly dependent on the method. The Wikipedia article on dust cites the 1981 book "House dust biology: for Allergists, acarologists, and Mycologists," - "dust in homes is composed of about 20–50% dead skin cells". However, according to this newer 2009 study from the American Chemical Society, 60% of household dust comes from the outdoors, specifically soil resuspension, and track-in. Even more recently, the Australian Microplastic Assessment Project asked members of the public to collect house dust in specially prepared glass dishes, which was then analyzed by 360 Dust Analysis. They found 39% of the deposited dust particles were microplastics. It is likely that dust composition is very heavily location-dependent and has changed noticeably with time. Effects on human health Respiratory damage Particles that evade elimination in the nose or throat tend to settle in the sacs or close to the end of the airways. The macrophage system is a crucial part of our body's immune defense. When we breathe in dust or foreign particles, macrophages engulf and 'eat' these invaders, helping to keep our lungs clean. However, there's a limit to how much a macrophage can handle. If there's too much dust, the macrophages can become overwhelmed and not clear it all out. When this happens, the excess dust particles can accumulate in the lungs, leading to inflammation or other lung diseases. Cooking, open fireplaces, and smoking indoors add fine dust to your home and contaminants of concern, which are associated with poor health outcomes. Each year, 3.2 million people die prematurely from illnesses attributable to household air pollution caused by the incomplete combustion of solid fuels and kerosene used for cooking (see WHO's household air pollution data for details). Particulate matter and other pollutants in household air pollution inflame the airways and lungs, impair immune response and reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Allergies Dust mites, tiny organisms that feed off house dust and air moisture, are among the most common indoor allergens. In addition to allergic rhinitis, dust mite allergy can trigger asthma and cause eczema to flare. Mold, pollen, and animal hair in dust can also trigger allergies. These allergens permeate our indoor spaces and become part dust. Exposure to them can lead to various allergic reactions, from mild symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion, to more severe responses like asthma attacks. Furthermore, constant inhalation of these allergens can lower one's immune response over time, leading to chronic allergic conditions. Toxicity Dust can transport toxic substances, such as heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants, contributing to various health issues over time. Chemicals used in pesticides, clothing, and furniture can combine with dust in our homes. Toxic flame retardants are used in countless domestic products and can make their way into dust. According to this 2005 American Chemical Society study, "Inadvertent ingestion of house dust is the...

Particulate matter (fijnstof) is a key factor that deteriorates the air quality and in Eindhoven air quality can be improved. Transportation, large industries emit PM. Also agriculture contributes, as Brabant breeds more pigs than it has human inhabitants. Yet, citizens cannot only fingerpoint to companies, to farmers, to logistics. Meanwhile the energy crisis is not helping to reduce emissions from houses. Some households start to burn wood rather than to use gas for heating. So in fact, these are forces in opposite direction than towards green heating via renewable energy. Jean Paul Close promotes a transistion towards a sustainocracy. Clean air os part of that ambition.

英语新闻｜囤木柴、烧马粪、抢购炉子…… 欧洲“绝望”在升温Not far from Berlin's Tempelhof airport, Peter Engelke isputting up a new security gate at his warehouse because of concerns aboutdesperate people pilfering his stock. The precious asset at risk is firewood.在距离柏林坦佩尔霍夫机场不远的地方，彼得·恩格尔克正在给自家仓库安装新的防盗门，因为担心有人走投无路来偷他的存货。这些有被盗风险的珍贵资产其实是木柴。Engelke's actions reflect growing anxiety across Europe as thecontinent braces for energy shortfalls, and possibly blackouts, this winter. 从恩格尔克的举动可以看出，欧洲各地对今年冬天能源短缺和可能停电的担忧与日俱增。At a summit in Prague on Friday, European Union leaders fellshort of agreeing on a price cap for gas amid concerns that any such move couldthreaten supplies to the region. As much as 70% of European heating comes fromnatural gas and electricity, and with Russian deliveries drastically reduced,wood — already used by some 40 million people for heating — has become asought-after commodity.10月7日在布拉格举办的峰会上，欧盟领导人未能就天然气价格上限问题达成一致，因为担心类似举动可能影响对该地区的天然气供应。欧洲70%的供暖系统依靠天然气和电力，而由于俄罗斯对欧洲的天然气供应急剧下降，木材已经成为抢手货。已经有大约4000千万人靠木材取暖。Prices for wood pellets have nearly doubled to 600 euros a tonin France, and there are signs of panic buying of the world's most basic fuel.Hungary even went so far as to ban exports of pellets, and Romania capped firewood prices for six months. Meanwhile, wood stoves can now take months todeliver.在法国，木屑棒作为最初级的燃料价格翻了一番，每吨接近600欧元，且存在抢购现象。匈牙利甚至禁止出口木屑棒，而罗马尼亚对木柴价格设置了半年的限制。此外，现在订购柴火炉要等几个月才能到货。Aside from concerns about shortages, the energy crisis isintensifying a surge in living expenses, with euro-zone inflation hittingdouble digits for the first time ever in September. Strapped households acrossthe region are increasingly faced with choosing between heating and otheressentials. 除了担心供应不足外，能源危机还在加剧生活成本的上涨，9月份欧元区通胀率首次达到两位数。越来越多捉襟见肘的欧洲家庭面临在供暖和其他生活必需品之间的取舍。“It's back to the old days when people wouldn't have the wholehouse heated,” said Nic Snell, managing director at British wholesale firewoodretailer Certainly Wood. “They'd sit around the fire and use the heat from thestove or open fire and go off to bed. There will be a lot more of that thiswinter.”英国木柴批发零售商Certainly Wood总经理尼克·斯纳尔说：“人们回到了没有全屋供暖的日子，需要靠近火坐着，靠炉子或篝火取暖然后再去睡觉。今年冬天这样的情况会更多。”The trend has meant a boom in demand for Gabriel Kakelugnar AB,a manufacturer of high-end tiled stoves costing an average of 86,000 Swedishkronor ($7,700). The stoves can keep a room warm for 24 hours because of itsintricate construction using different channels that hold and distribute theheat.对于Gabriel Kakelugnar AB来说，这一趋势意味着订单激增，该公司是一家高端瓷片炉具制造商，其炉具平均售价为86000瑞典克朗（约合人民币55000元）。由于炉子的结构复杂，使用不同的管道来保存和分散热量，因此可以使房间24小时保持温暖。“During the pandemic, people started to invest more in theirhomes. That has now of course escalated,” said Jesper Svensson, owner andmanaging director of the company. 该公司老板兼总经理杰斯珀·斯文森称，“疫情期间，人们开始增加对家的投资，现在当然更是如此了。”Orders have surged more than fourfold, and customers now have towait until March for delivery, compared with as little as four weeks a yearago.订单激增超四倍，现在顾客得等到明年3月份才能收到货，而相比之下，一年前等待的时间仅为1个月。For many Europeans, the key concern is doing whatever it takesto stay warm in the coming months. The worry has become ever more pressing asthe winter chill gets nearer, and the desperation for heat could create healthand environmental issues.对于许多欧洲人来说，他们最关心的是未来几个月如何取暖。随着寒冬临近，人们越来越担忧，而对供暖的迫切需求可能会引发健康和环境问题。“We are worried that people will just burn what they can gettheir hands on,” said Roger Sedin, head of the air quality unit at the SwedishEnvironmental Protection Agency, warning against poor ventilation and trying toburn wet firewood. “We can see very high pollution levels when you have peopleburning wood who don't know how to do it correctly.”瑞典环境保护署空气质量部门负责人罗杰·塞丁警告：“我们担心人们会把他们能烧的东西都烧了。当人们不知道如何正确燃烧木材时，制造的污染会非常严重。”Particulate matter can end up deep in the lungs and cause heartattacks, strokes and asthma, he said, adding that the risk is particularlyacute in urban areas.他说，微粒物质最终会被吸入肺部，导致心脏病发作、中风和哮喘，城市地区居民面临的风险尤其严重。Inexperience is also evident in Germany, where the country'sassociation of chimney sweeps is dealing with a flood of requests to connectnew and old stoves, and customers are inquiring about burning horse dung andother obscure fuels.德国民众也十分缺乏相关经验，该国的烟囱清扫协会正在处理大量接通新旧炉子的请求，客户开始咨询有关燃烧马粪和其他不知名燃料的问题。There are also signs of hoarding. In France, Frederic Coirier,chief executive officer of Poujoulat SA, which makes chimney flues and produceswood fuels, said some clients have bought two tons of wood pellets, when lessthan one ton is normally enough to head a home for a year.还有迹象表明，有人在囤积木材。在法国，烟囱烟道和木材燃料生产商Poujoulat SA公司首席执行官弗雷德里克·科伊勒表示，一些客户已经购买了两吨木屑棒，而通常一个家庭一年需要的木屑棒不到一吨。“People are desperate for wood, and they are buying more thanusual,” said Trond Fjortoft, founder and CEO of Norwegian wood seller KortreistVed. “Usually it happens when it starts to get cold, ‘someone says, oh weshould order some wood.' This year, that started in June.”挪威木材销售商Kortrist Ved创始人兼首席执行官特隆德·福约托夫特表示：“人们迫切需要木材，他们比平时采购更多。这种情况通常发生在天气开始变冷的时候，有人说，‘哦，我们应该订购一些木材'。而今年这种情况从6月就开始了。”编辑：董静英文来源：福布斯pilfer英[ˈpɪlfə(r)]；美[ˈpɪlfɚ]v. 偷窃（一般指小偷小摸）brace英[breɪs]；美[breɪs]v. 使做好准备cap英[kæp]；美[kæp]v. 限定（预算）

Osteochondral autograft transplant (OAT) is often used to treat large osteochondral lesions of the talus and is generally associated with good outcomes. The addition of adjuncts such as cartilage extracellular matrix with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (ECM-BMAC) may further improve the OAT procedure but have not been thoroughly studied. We hypothesized that the placement of ECM-BMAC around the OAT graft would improve radiographic and patient-reported outcomes following OAT. In conclusion, the addition of ECM-BMAC to OAT was associated with improved imaging and clinical outcomes compared to OAT with BMAC alone.   To view the article click here.

Hello Interactors,Quite a week in political news. The United States, the second biggest CO2 emitter behind China and 12th per capita, is finally making progress on climate change legislation. It’s not perfect, but it’s cause for celebration if you care about healthy air and water, the survival of life on this planet…or getting a rebate on a brand new car! Don’t get me wrong, these laws are important and necessary achievements AND they will likely fill American roads with even more cars. Yippee!As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…LET’S MAKE A DEAL“We on the Left are very good at criticizing people”, Washington Senator Pramila Jayapal once said, “but we need to build the base to pull people to the Left.” As the leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and chief drafter of the Inflation Reduction Act, she did just that. President Biden is set to sign it into law. It’s the country’s largest climate legislation ever. Jayapal worked with a cadre of climate experts who have been waiting for this moment for decades. The law is expected to drive down inflation while dropping U.S. CO2 emissions 40% by 2030. It’s more modest than hoped, but is a HUGE first step. No surprise, not a single Republican voted for itHowever, 41 Republicans did vote to fight climate change, they just won’t admit it. The bi-partisan CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS) was signed it into law last week. It includes a $280 billion investment in American semiconductor research and development, but nearly one quarter ($67 billion) is for zero-carbon industries and climate change research. Between last year’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Law, CHIPS, and the Inflation Reduction Act, the United States has made serious strides to fight climate change. It’s not enough, but it’s more than ever before achieved. By investing in clean energy and renewables they not only become increasingly affordable, but they also reduce demand for fossil fuels.Republicans also continue to vote for clean energy in their home states. Between 2010 and 2019, six of the top ten states with the largest increase in wind electricity generation were red states. Including Texas. Nearly one quarter of their energy comes from wind. This saves Texans $20 million dollars a year in energy costs. Reducing carbon, saves money. Including cars. Charging an electric vehicle (EV) today costs the equivalent of filling a gas tank with $1 per gallon gas. EVs, like traditional cars, also need safe and reliable roads.The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed into law last November includes $110 billion in new spending for highways, roads, and bridges, compared to $39 billion on public transit. This is a HUGE investment in public transit and our roads and bridges need repaired, but the ratio of spending on roads relative to transit is roughly the same as it’s always been. Policy makers continue to believe adding more roads will ease congestion. Adding road capacity to ease traffic is like loosening your belt so you can eat more. But Americans do tend to overeat and most like their cars.One of the big drivers of the CHIPs law were automakers. There are still hurting from supply chain snafus strangling their supply of semi-conductor chips needed to make cars. Automotive News reported, since the start of 2021, 13.5 million vehicles were cut from factory schedules due to chip shortages. Nearly 4.3 million of those were to be assembled in North America. Increasingly more chips are needed in cars as they strive for advances in autonomous driving. Bosch, a German supplier of car technology, says chips account for about $200 of value in a car sold today, but by 2030 it’s expected to grow to $800 per vehicle. Carmakers need more chips, and they need onshore guarantees they can get them. Hence the CHIPS law.Electric vehicles are like giant phones on wheels. And like phone makers, automakers hope to one day make money on software subscriptions and services. Until then, the only way to make money is to sell large volumes of cars. Increased volumes drive prices down. Lower EV prices mean even more people can afford a car. Electric vehicles are also more affordable to own due to low energy rates and fewer repairs. But they’re still expensive. Norway, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, has the highest EV per capita of any country. But owners admit that is largely due to government incentives. Hence the U.S. focus on EV rebates and automaker deals found in the Inflation Reduction Act.CARS CAN BE EXHAUSTINGEVs charged with clean energy not only reduce CO2 emissions, they also reduce Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). These are gases produced when fossil fuels explode. They then float into the air and become smog and acid rain. Floating in the ambient air they can trigger or compound asthma, lung disease, heart disease, and diabetes. They not only reduce birth rates they also increase death rates.Noxious gases are only part of the air quality problem. So are particulates. Especially those measuring 10 and 2.5 micrometers or smaller. For comparison, fine beach sand is 90 micrometers in diameter, human hair is 50-80, and dust or pollen particles are about 10 (PM10). Like Nitrogen Oxides, Particulate matter at 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) or less can also come from exploding fossil fuels.PM2.5 is the number one environmental contributor to human mortality with disparities along racial-ethnic and socio-economic lines. One recent study took data from 2014 and found four out of the top six sources of PM2.5 are the same for POC, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. Those are: industry, light-duty gasoline passenger vehicles, construction sites, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles. The only sector where Whites were disproportionately exposed to PM2.5 were coal mining and agriculture. Getting to clean energy powered EVs will reduce exposure from passenger EVs, but construction equipment and heavy-duty vehicles are destined to be diesel for decades.While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports a national downward trend in PM2.5, exposure rates vary by region. One recent study divided the nation into 8.6 million gridded cells to get a more accurate account of the spatial distribution of PM2.5. Looking at data over the last 36 years, they found the national average has indeed gone down. However, those areas with the least PM2.5 and those with the most are unchanged since 1981. This suggests the transition to EVs will most benefit those areas where PM2.5 is already low – predominantly White sparsely populated suburbs and exurbs. Meanwhile, those areas where construction and heavy-duty diesel vehicles are most concentrated – predominantly poor, ethnically, and racially diverse urban areas will continue to be disproportionately exposed to PM2.5.But another source of PM2.5 and PM10 is non-exhaust related. It comes from dust made from car brakes, tire wear, and decomposed concrete. The heavier the vehicle, the more dust is created. Unfortunately, EVs are heavier than traditional cars due to a chassis full of weighty battery packs. However, EVs also come with optional regenerative braking. Letting off the accelerator triggers a generator that charges the battery while also slowing the car. Hitting the brakes on an EV can also engage the generator which further reduces dust accumulation. Some automakers also have ways to collect the dust as it’s generated so it doesn’t hit the pavement or fly into the air. But it’s not standard and some drivers choose to turn off regenerative braking because they don’t like how it ‘feels. But when used, it can help reduce particulate matter.One study out of the UK shows that for urban driving, with the right amount of regenerative braking, EVs can reduce PM10 by ~26%. But on the freeway, they found “no level of regenerative braking can mitigate against the increase in PM10 due to increased vehicle weight.” Some of that increase in PM10 comes from increased tire dust from heavy passenger EVs. Vehicle weight would have to drop 22% for PM10 improvements like those found in urban environments. And while a reduction of ~27% was estimated for PM2.5 across all road types, those figures assume 90% of braking comes from regenerative brakes.For the sake of argument, let’s assume EVs are cleaner and healthier. And through the magic of innovation, competition, and incentives more people can afford a car than ever before. Let’s also optimistically assume income disparities will lessen worldwide, more people will rise out of poverty, move to the city, and one day even own a car (many associate higher social status with car ownership). In addition, urban populations are growing exponentially – a trend expected to continue until 2050. The promise of an EV future – as aided by the passing of three new U.S. laws – will then result in increasingly more cars on the road. If you like sitting in traffic, you’re going to love the EV future. If you survive.The United Nations reported last month nearly 1.3 million people a year die in road traffic crashes. It’s the leading cause of death among children and young adults. While interior car safety technologies reduce motorist deaths over time, they do nothing for pedestrians, cyclists, or motorcyclists. And the poorer you are the greater the chance of death. And probably worse than we know. Little data is collected in the poorest countries, and many don’t bother reporting them anyway.While these three relatively green U.S. laws will indeed reduce CO2 emissions, they will also increase car related injuries and deaths. Worse yet, investments in an EV future only strengthens car dependency locking in perpetually more traffic, traffic related fatalities, and continued poor air and water quality. It’s a system of car dependency embedded in our culture, technology, and governments.AUTOS MAKE THE WORLD GO ‘ROUNDHere's how this self-sustaining systems works. Car companies need a ton of capital to make the steel, plastics, and chips comprising a car. To offset these costs, they must sell large volumes of cars. When the economy is growing, they sell more cars because car dependent societies require more vehicles to meet the demands of economic growth. When there is a downturn, there always is, carmakers suffer because they can no longer cover the cost of production. So, what do car companies do when they’re in financial trouble? They ask their governments to bail them out and/or provide incentives to spur more people to buy more cars. Both the CHIPS act and the Inflation Reduction Act do this. And remember when Obama saved GM from bankruptcy after the 2008 financial crisis?Democrats and Republicans both routinely save the auto industry. Why? There are many factors, but here are two. Democrats want to support union jobs that feed factory labor and Republicans want to perpetuate the rugged-individualist mystique and lifestyle that comes with private car ownership. Car addicts on both sides of the aisle believe there are two kinds of people: those who own cars and those who wish they could. Both parties also insist on a mythical infinite economic growth curve despite being limited by the natural resources and ecosystems to achieve it.Once there are cars, roads are needed. Roads are presented as an economically easy and obvious answer to transportation efficiency. The only requirement is they be mostly free of cars. Roads with no cars is a waste of money, but roads full of cars is a waste of time. Time is money, so society accepts efforts made to ease congestion. Part of that acceptance is to prioritize the use of public roads for the movement of cars. As roads fill up, society demands more of them, and governments and road construction companies happily oblige; more union jobs for the Democrats and more space allocated to the rugged Republican individualist. Private vehicle ownership lifestyles propped up by union jobs and taxpayer dollars.But public road space is constrained by private property. The only apparent way to make room for more cars is to take space away from others. For example, pedestrians and cyclists. Politicians, policy makers, and civil engineers (all steeped in, educated by, and benefactors of car culture) characterize this social demotion as ‘pedestrian safety’. The more cars there are on the road, and the more space they demand, the more ‘safety measures’ are put in place for pedestrians. i.e. more crosswalk paint for peds and bike lane paint for bikes. These are smart people, but an eight-year-old can tell you paint is not only a weak safety measure, it’s unjust. This paternalistic pandering signals to poor little pedalers and pedestrians that the best way to keep them safe is to relegate them to the gutter. ‘Pedalers’, ‘peddlers’, and ‘pedestrians’ – what unpleasant peasantry. Evidently, these well-intentioned people missed that day in kindergarten when most of us learned ‘sharing is caring’. To show they care, cities sometimes provide park benches at select corners and sidewalks so one can marvel at the safe roads made for those marvelous machines while breathing deathly fumes and particulate matter in dreary anticipation of witnessing a car accident. An endless stream of drivers solemnly staring through the glass of a windshield – or their phone.It's enough to scare you into taking the bus. Good idea. Where do I catch one? Good question. How long do I have to wait? Who knows? Are they clean? Sometimes. Are they safe? Mostly. How about we just take a car? Ok. This is precisely the line of reasoning car culture conspirators have engineered. Because public dollars are transparently spent on enabling mass transit (which some argue should be a public utility…like providing safe, reliable, and clean water), it’s easy for public officials and the ‘road gang’ to point out just how expensive it is to operate. Less evident, intentionally hidden, and ridiculously complex is the public finance calculus behind the myriad of finance schemes, tax havens, kickbacks, rebates, incentives, and old-fashioned back-room dealings between hundreds of members of the ‘road gang’ and every level of government. All messaged and sold to society as an economically rational ‘public good.’ Private vehicle, good. Public transit, bad. Got it?And when economic times turn bad, the interconnected and interdependent ‘road gang’ schemes for more financial complexity which ultimately includes more money from a government who is incented to keep them afloat. More jobs lead to more consumer spending which increases GDP which leads to more votes. But where in the budget does one find more money? The ‘road gang’ has ideas. How about pulling from an obvious expenditure they’ve already convinced the public is a bad investment by underfunding it – public transit. Especially if that money can be spent to create jobs in the auto and road construction industry. There’s a reason the infrastructure legislation is called the ‘Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.’ Yes, this law increased spending on transit, but it also boosted spending for the ‘road gang’. The rich get richer – more tax dollars funding more cars and more roads – and the poor stay poor – busses stuck in traffic, bus stops inconveniently placed, timetables unpredictable, busses uncomfortable, and sometimes unsafe. It not only locks in car culture, but it also locks in where people live.Land use policies are also intent on perpetuating car dependency. Real estate companies seek land to be converted into car-oriented neighborhoods, city planners and lawmakers arrange for plenty of parking, and gas stations are strategically plopped in prized plots. TV shows, movies, books, cartoons, brochures, and advertising promote images of bucolic suburban lifestyles coupled with messages of wealth and status. The more land is developed this way, the more attractive it becomes to own a car. Sprawling and sparsely populated areas make mass transit inefficient, and cash strapped transit agencies are forced to cut service to better serve the needs of the urban carless. This makes car ownership in these areas not only a luxury, but the only viable option. That is, if you’re able to buy, own, or drive one in the first place. Those unable or willing to own a car are relegated to lower social status with little to no alternatives. Peasantry. Just as intended.I’m sure nobody in the Progressive Caucus set out to intentionally perpetuate car culture when crafting this recent legislation, it’s just how our society has evolved. These new laws are intended to create local jobs, lower costs of living, and cut CO2 emissions. They’re not intended to dislodge a hegemonic, human slaughtering, car cabal. In fact, these laws are feeding the car beast with trendy green technology. These laws are also not intended to significantly alter how public land and road space is allocated. In fact, twelve new highways are already slated to be built.And while transportation equity advocates were finally at the bargaining table with progressive Democrats, these laws are not intended to shift our urban areas toward equitable public space for all. Yes, the air in cities will be cleaner, but they won’t be free of harmful particulates. And the streets will most assuredly become more congested and dangerous. It seems we are sacrificing fewer lives to air pollution, more lives to traffic fatalities, so that ultimately all life on this planet has a future. It can be hard to see human sacrifice as progress, but I suspect members of the Progressive Caucus are intent on reversing this. The language in the Inflation Reduction Act begins to expose the inequities and unfairness stemming from decades of dominant car-oriented economic, societal, governmental, and physical systems. It could be the ‘road gang’ is in their sites and they’re using the widespread electrification transition as a gateway to a new possible future.Perhaps, if given a chance in the next six years, they not only can continue transitioning to green energy, but also regreening cities. This will require the reversal of inequitable, dangerous, and unhealthy car-dependent patterns of public and private land use. The sure-fire way to slow cars in urban areas is to skinny the streets. This frees space for protected bike lanes and wider sidewalks, so wheels and feet of all sizes feel safe sharing public roadways. The more people are pulled from their cars, the more space is created for those who must drive.Damaged ecosystems must also be reestablished, and urban landscapes and neighborhoods must be reconnected with paths that connect people with each other and their regreened city. Every human life is best lived when connected to nature, but car culture, EV or otherwise, not only isolates people from each other but from their natural environment. It’s time to make concrete jungles actual jungles.Whether we like it not, the damaging effects of climate change are forcing human connections with nature. Floods, droughts, high winds, and heat are all natural phenomena that are best mitigated with systems of integrated nature-based solutions. Nature is our best teacher. Infrastructure funding and chips and EVs incentives will help us all to go green, but it doesn’t stop there. To ‘go green’ also means to regreen cities, and to do that requires fewer cars. The best public good a government can provide are those for the common good. Those goods are uncommon today, but Pramila Jayapal and the Progressive Caucus eased their criticality, compromised, pulled centrists Left, and made good progress on the common good. Let’s hope they set a good example and can continue to make progress.Otherwise, 2024 could send these three steps forward two steps back. Although, when it comes to energy, red states look blue. Meanwhile more and more members of the ‘road gang’ are increasingly all-in on electrification and renewables. Who knows, maybe automaker’s next private vehicle for the rugged individualists will be a sporty electric two-seater convertible skinny enough to fit in a bike lane. If so, you can bet they’ll lobby to have that lane protected. Safety measures, and all. They’ll insist on protection from the peasantry in their old bloated, road-hogging cars and trucks.

Article discussed in this episode:Coarse Particulate Air Pollution and Daily Mortality: A Global Study in 205 Cities

Ok so the past several episodes have been about toxins, and this is the last and perhaps most important episode - how do you avoid toxins? Well, we don't sell plastic bubbles......Toxins are everywhere, and detoxifying and removing them from your body is often a really important piece of healing from any inflammatory or autoimmune condition, but what if you have never experienced many symptoms or chronic disease? It's just as important!!In this episode I drop a ton of recommendations and suggestions (as always) for areas of your life to focus on if your goal is a non-toxic lifestyle, including:Clean Air  - I think this is the most important/underlooked area in non-toxic living!! Indoor air quality matters more than outdoor air quality (where do you live? indoors.), but both matter. Particulate matter, dust, mold, mycotoxins, pollution, formaldehyde, VOCs, off-gassing - - I discuss all of these risks in this episode along with air purifiers, air scrubbers, special filters, formaldehyde meters, ozone, and more for CLEAN AIR!Clean Water - this one is pretty easy to understand and something that many people address - - filter your water! Water could have metals, medications, hormones, pesticides and other toxins toxins toxins - - and sometimes well water is worse than municipal - - and I talk about all these risks. The solution is to filter your water, but what is the best??? My answer may surprise you.....(listen to the episode!)Clean Food - another fairly well-understood and obvious one, but besides the problems with some "natural" foods (high sugar, vegetable oils, gluten, dairy, lectins), your food is TOXIC!!! Food has pesticides, aluminum, dyes, preservatives, and all sorts of toxins that need to be removed via your detoxification pathways. Eat organic, but I also talk about the value of knowing where your food comes from and some of the resources my family utilizes to get clean food. Clean Skin - I admit this is not my specialty, I don't really use anything on my skin, but the point is that the stuff is TOXIC, and these toxins accumulate and affect things like hormones and fertility. Aluminum in deodorant, sodium laurel sulfate in shampoo, parabens in lotion, coal tar in lipstick, VOCs in nail polish - - don't put anything on your skin you wouldn't eat!!Clean Brain - believe it or not, I'm not talking about neurotoxins in this section, I'm talking about what you put into your MIND - - is social media and video games or books and positive affirmations? Your brain can be neurotoxic with aluminum, pesticides, or mycotoxins, but a toxic MIND can sometimes be even worse. I also touch on a few other things - - exercise, sauna, and probably more :) As always, let me know what you think, leave a rating or review, and follow my social channels!!

This week we welcome Dr. Elliott Gall, Associate Professor at Portland State University to discuss some current research on particulate and gas phase pollutant mitigation. Particles are everywhere in indoor environments from skin cells to automobile exhaust to wildfires by-products. Particulate removal is also a big topic when it comes to the pandemic. What do we know about particle behavior and how well do various mitigation processes work? We will talk to Dr. Gall about what his and other research shows about this important IEQ topic.   Dr. Elliott Gall is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department in the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University. Dr. Gall's primary technical specialties are physics and chemistry of indoor air quality, heat and mass transfer phenomena in built environments, human exposure to air pollution, indoor environmental quality and sustainable buildings, building HVAC, and urban air quality.   Dr. Gall's research and teaching interests center around developing new approaches that improve building sustainability through an understanding of the intersection of building energy use, indoor air quality, and occupant well-being. Specific research areas include: i) fundamental laboratory and field studies of indoor air pollutant transport and transformation, ii) air pollution exposure assessment through modeling and personal exposure studies, and iii) evaluation of building technology and design with respect to indoor environmental quality.    LEARN MORE this week on IAQ Radio+.

"It's Is Now Possible To Eliminate Privacy" (Yuval Harari Clip)   Rhodiola rosea extract may improve anxiety, stress and mood: Human data University of Surrey (UK), April 15 2022 Daily intake of a Rhodiola rosea L. extract may improve various measures of mood in people with mild anxiety, says a new study from England. Data from 81 mildly anxious students indicated that 14 days of supplementation with the Rhodiola rosea L. extract significantly reduced self-reported anxiety and stress. Improvements in self-reported anger, confusion, and depression were also reported by the researchers. “Although Rhodiola rosea has been used traditionally to relieve a range of symptoms of stress related disorders, to our knowledge this is the first study to demonstrate the efficacy of Rhodiola rosea L. in the treatment of mild anxiety,” wrote Mark Cropley, Adrian Banks, and Julia Boyle from the University of Surrey in Phytotherapy Research . (NEXT) Blueberries may help treat post-traumatic stress disorder Louisiana State University, April 13, 2022 A new study has revealed that blueberries may help treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).R esearchers at Louisiana State University looked at the ability of blueberries to modulate neurotransmitter levels in a rat model of PTSD. Researchers supplemented some of the rats with a blueberry-enriched (2 percent) diet and others with a control diet. A third control group did not have PTSD and received a standard diet (without blueberries). They found that PTSD rats who did not receive blueberries demonstrated a predictable increase in NE and 5-HT when compared with the control group. However, the PTSD rats that received blueberries showed a beneficial increase in 5-HT with no effect on NE levels, suggesting that blueberries could effectively modulate neurotransmitters in PTSD. (NEXT) Vitamin D helps reduce childhood allergy rate University of Auckland (New Zealand), April 15, 2022  Vitamin D supplements during pregnancy and infancy may help to reduce New Zealand's high childhood allergy rate. In a study, published in the internationally ranked journal Allergy, the University of Auckland  showed for the first time, that vitamin D supplements prevent allergy sensitisation to house dust mites in children. He believes vitamin D supplements may also help prevent asthma developing in young children. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent with 57 percent of New Zealand newborns having low concentrations of vitamin D at birth. Both asthma and allergies are highly prevalent in New Zealand with 25 percent of six to seven year old reported with asthma and 35 percent of 11 to 12 year olds having an allergic response to house dust mite, plant, food or other allergens. Vitamin D receptors are present on many immune cells and so vitamin D can affect how the immune system works. In theory maintaining normal vitamin D status when that sensitivity is developing late in pregnancy and early in infancy, could prevent later allergy sensitivity in the child." (NEXT) Vitamin B diminishes effects of air pollution-induced cardiovascular disease Columbia University, April 12, 2022  B vitamins can mitigate the impact of fine particle pollution on cardiovascular disease, according to new research conducted at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. Healthy non-smokers who took vitamin B supplements nearly reversed any negative effects on their cardiovascular and immune systems, weakening the effects of air pollution on heart rate by 150 percent, total white blood count by 139 percent, and lymphocyte count by 106 percent. This is the first clinical trial to evaluate whether B vitamin supplements change the biologic and physiologic responses to ambient air pollution exposure. Ambient PM2.5 fine particulate pollution contributes to 3.7 million premature deaths annually worldwide, predominantly through acute effects on the cardiovascular system. Particulate matter pollution is the most frequent trigger for myocardial infarction at the population level. (SUPER FOODS) Onions: A rule of thumb is that the more pungent the onion, the greater its health benefits. It's as if you could smell its disease-thwarting power. Onions are particularly important to include in diets for diabetics, for one, because they are rich in chromium, a trace mineral that helps cells respond to insulin. Moreover, refined sugar depletes the body's chromium levels, so for anyone that has this sugar in his or her diet, onions are an excellent source of replacement. Onions are also rich in vitamin B6, vitamin C, manganese, molybdenum (essential in preserving tooth enamel), potassium, phosphorous, and copper. They are also just about the best source of quercetin, which works hand-in-hand with vitamin C in help the body eliminate bacteria and strengthen immunity. The onion's health benefits don't stop there. Inclusion of onions in the diet help individuals lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and strengthen bone health. Onions also have anti-inflammatory benefits, reducing symptoms related to inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, arthritis, and respiratory congestion. Some studies have noted that they lessen the adverse effects from colds and flus.

This episode is brought to you by Vivobarefoot and Pendulum.When it comes to air pollution, most of our collective attention is focused on outdoor air quality, especially with wildfires and general pollution on the rise.But what if I told you that our indoor air can be anywhere from 200 to 500 percent more toxic than our outdoor air? And according to the EPA, it can even get up to 1,000 percent more toxic than outdoor air. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru walks us through why indoor air quality deserves attention and provides some free and cheap solutions to radically improve your air quality.

We discuss common issues that we see with cleanrooms, talk about particle counts and certification reports as well as some cool technology being used to simulate a cleanroom before it's even built (computational fluid dynamics - CFD).

In this episode, we continue the conversation related to fine particulate (PM2.5) current events and strategies to plan ahead for important permitting projects. We address how ambient monitoring for PM2.5 could fit into the planning process for upcoming projects. We also cover the possibility of innovative permitting approaches such as plantwide applicability limit (PAL) permits and the role that they could plan in the planning process. We close the conversation by addressing U.S. EPA's draft guidance on precursor pollutant modeling for PSD permitting requirements and the implications of the guidance moving forward.

In this episode, we discuss U.S. EPA's recent release of a supplement to the 2019 Fine Particulate (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) Integrated Science Assessment (ISA). The supplement document is a continuation of U.S. EPA's re-evaluation of the PM2.5 NAAQS that is anticipated to be further tightened next year. We discuss where U.S. EPA stands in the NAAQS revision process. We also explore the implications of a tightened NAAQS on air permitting projects, discuss the conservative layers associated with the air quality modeling tools that are available, and consider proactive steps that can be taken to prepare for a NAAQS revision.

Every year, French people drive an average of 13,000 kilometers. It is relatively short. A large portion of them – perhaps you – have been using the vehicle only for urban usage. In fact, nothing is wrong with that. However; if your car runs on diesel and it has a Diesel Particulate Filter, then the risk of clogging is real. Fortunately, there is an easy way to clean a DPF! One solution: drive and increase the gears of your car a little. Please find our instructions here below. How does DPF work? A Diesel particulate filter operates in two steps. Primarily, it will filter fine particles and collect them. These will clump together forming a thick layer around the filter which can eventually clog it. Secondly, the regeneration step will burn this layer of fine particles to destroy them. Therefore, the DPF will again be able to collect fine particles and initiate new recycling cycles. However, for regeneration to take place, the vehicle must be warm to reach nearly 600 °C within the particle filter. Without this, regeneration cycles will be unable to get into action and clogging is unavoidable. How to clean a DPF while driving? To properly clean the Diesel Particulate Filter while driving, you will need to ride. The highway represents an ideal ground for this exercise, but simple roads will do the business. Maintain an engine speed of at least 3,000 rpm. Indeed, the engine's level of heating is indirectly linked to the heating of the DPF too. If your car has an automatic transmission, shift your gears in a manual mode by moving the gear shift gently. No need to use the speed limiter, it is with no seeming value added. Ride like this for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will initiate a regeneration cycle, and your DPF will be cleaned. This operation should be repeated regularly, ideally once every two weeks. Whether it is a BMW DPF or a Peugeot DPF, the operation is exactly the same. Please consider the following; To make your diesel particulate filter last as long as possible, it is, therefore, necessary to carry out these regeneration cycles regularly. However, this method will not create miracles. If the DPF is irremediably damaged, it has to be replaced. If in doubt, ask an accredited dealership or a car center. They will be capable to test whether or not this anti-pollution device is damaged. In addition, initiating a regeneration cycle before taking the technical inspection remains an effective way to ensure good results before the anti-pollution test. You might think of that the next time.

Commentary by Dr. Valentin Fuster

In this podcast, we're going to talk about air pollution. Now, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that air pollution has now been found to increase the risk of diabetes. This is due to something called particulate matter. These are microscopic particles in the air. They can be solids or liquids. Particulate matter can get into the lungs and bloodstream. The size of this harmful particulate matter is less than 2.5 micrometers. This appears as a haze in the air. Within particulate matter, there are thousands of chemicals from industry, power plants, automobiles, and various other sources. This air pollution has long been known to cause lung cancer. A new study found that exposure to particulate matter (PM 2.5) can alter blood sugar levels and significantly increase the risk of type-2 diabetes over 16 weeks. The reason why air pollution has these effects is unknown. However, there are some theories. It could be due to systemic inflammation, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, oxidative stress, or the gut microbiome. What we do know is that pollution leads to insulin resistance, which affects blood sugar levels. The good news is that research shows that fasting can block the adverse blood sugar effects of air pollution. Fasting can also inhibit glucose intolerance.

In Part I talked about burn pits, burn pits are just one type of toxic exposure. In Part 2 we will be looking at an overview of Particulate Matter.  Particulate matter goes straight through our body's natural layers of protection and straight into our systems…their micro size lets them travel deep, embedding then causing cancer or fibrosis (scaring of the lungs).   Toxic exposure did (does) not just effect the veteran & military community, but also deployed civilians, contractors,…anyone exposed.  From HunterSeven: “Particulate Matter ("PM") is the sum of all solid, liquid particles suspended in the air many of which are hazardous. This complex mixture includes both organic and inorganic particles, such as dust, pollen, soot, smoke and liquid droplets… smaller size particles can travel deeper, bypassing the trachea and its protective screens and enter the primary bronchus, bronchioles and into the alveolus . For those who don't know, the alveoli are those tiny grape-like sacs that are responsible for O2-CO2 exchange between the lungs and bloodstream. Embedded particles depending on what the particles are contain and are a byproduct from makes a concerning point in terms of scarring (fibrosis) and subsequently respiratory related illnesses and terminal cancers.”Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/theprotectors)

This is episode 66 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners.

Philip Landrigan, M.D., from Boston College, explains the nature, origin, and health impact of particulate matter in our air, that it can cause preterm births, cardiovascular and other diseases, of the wholesome advances we had made to reduce it, but now of worrisome new set-backs.

Welcome to this very special leap year edition of the mighty GLoP podcast! We're going to let you, dear listener, find the provenance for the title in this episode. But yes, we do discuss the virus that's going viral, the political response to it, as well as some of the best and worst movies based on a story like this.

Your host Rick Friedman, will crown the climate hero and villain of the week along with discussing worldwide environmental issues, showcasing new products designed with the longevity of our planet in mind and putting the spotlight on the individuals making a big impact in helping the climate and pollution crisis through social media. Now your host, Rick Friedman, Rick: (https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/Edit?token=USOowldYUA5OR_QWlYEtgPAGabjKyYX9jyAScppaj7p-zpuLkQXnlvn4t5J8oRGhhmlaRmoI9Zfi74JStBQ5uqrYS3Y&loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=39.47 (00:39)) PM 2.5 and air pollution. Why is it killing us? The PM stands for particulate matter and you've probably heard of that over the years on your local newscast. The source of it comes mainly from coal and cars. When we burn coal, it releases CO2 and cars, Of course when they burn gasoline and diesel, they spew that into the air as well. 2.5 represents the size of the particular matter. 2.5 micro meters is 30 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Rick: (https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/Edit?token=USOowldYUA5OR_QWlYEtgPAGabjKyYX9jyAScppaj7p-zpuLkQXnlvn4t5J8oRGhhmlaRmoI9Zfi74JStBQ5uqrYS3Y&loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=74.45 (01:14)) Particulate penetrates deep into our lungs, which causes heart and lung ailments. If exposed to these things for a long time. How do we know PM 2.5 levels affect us? There's a chart and you can go to world air quality index w a Q I. Dot info. You can pull up a map of anywhere in the world and it'll show the current levels of PM 2.5 PM 10 and other hazards in the air. There's also a chart of six different levels from zero to a hundred little or no risk. Then it goes up from one Oh one to 200 or the air quality is acceptable for the general population, but moderate for people with health concerns from two Oh one to 300 the likelihood of respiratory problems in sensitive individuals and children and the elderly are at risk from three Oh one to 400 triggers a health concern for most people and especially from 400 or above. Rick: (https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/Edit?token=USOowldYUA5OR_QWlYEtgPAGabjKyYX9jyAScppaj7p-zpuLkQXnlvn4t5J8oRGhhmlaRmoI9Zfi74JStBQ5uqrYS3Y&loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=133.46 (02:13)) Pretty much stay inside. Don't go outside. How about the air in the United States in 2018 over 157 million people experienced at least 31 days of elevated 2.5 or PM 10 in Pittsburgh, they suffered 90 days of unhealthy air. What are countries doing to clean the air? Many cities in Europe prevent vehicles from entering the city during restricted hours. Barcelona, Milan, Rome, Venice, London. Among them in France, every car must get a sticker and put that on their rear window. The sticker is based on how much pollution the car emits, allowing cleaner cars, access to certain parts of the city. Let me think about this for a second. How many famous towers can I name? There's the Eiffel tower. There's the leaning tower of PISA. The CN tower, the space needle. It's not technically a tower, but it is a tower. That's just to name a few. Rick:...
