#PM 2.5

[pietroalviti]

Frosinone, i cittadini chiedono di controllare le polveri ultrasottili allo Scalo, e a Ceccano?

Le Associazioni civiche di Frosinone chiedono di monitorare le polveri ultrasottili nella centralina Arpa installata presso la Stazione, che attualmente si limita soltanto alla PM10, come quella di Ceccano. Si tratta di un problema molto importante, che andrebbe verificato visti i danni che le polveri ultrasottili causano alla salute umana e non soltanto. In un comunicato stampa, che riporta la…

Invisible Threats: Decoding the Menace of Air Pollutants

In the ever-evolving canvas of nature, the atmosphere mirrors constant change. Surprisingly, Earth's early days knew no oxygen; its birth, an orchestration by blue-green algae 3 billion years ago, birthed the first aerobic organism—a bacteria. Initially deemed combustible, oxygen now constitutes 21% of atmospheric gases, sourced primarily from plants and microbes.

Our air, a complex blend of nitrogen, oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, ozone, and trace compounds, is adorned with extras like smoke, dust, acid droplets, and pollen. Its composition dances with seasons, weather, time, location, and elevation.

Enter air pollutants, categorized into gases, particulate matter, and microorganisms. Carbon monoxide, ground-level ozone, lead, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide top the list.

Particulate Matter (PM) takes center stage with PM 2.5, fine particles causing respiratory issues, and PM 10, coarse dust particles impacting health. Sources range from chemical reactions to construction activities, revealing a spectrum of consequences from respiratory problems to cancer.

Recent studies link air pollution to a broader range of ailments, from strokes to mental health issues, raising concerns about the potential impact on every cell in the body. NASA images depict the gravity of air pollution, a tangible threat with far-reaching consequences.

As we navigate this invisible hazard, it's crucial to recognize the real dangers of air pollution. Stay tuned for my next article, "The Truth about Air Purifiers," exploring solutions to safeguard our air quality.

Okay, I know this is a sims blog, but I've already asked this question on my personal blog and got no responses, and I have literally over 10x more followers here and I really need help with this:

Does anyone have any good ideas of rooms to put on a pirate ship map for a d&d game? (realism NOT required)

I'm making maps for three pirate ships, and all three maps have at least 1-2 empty rooms. I need ideas for what to add!! (And trust me, I know that realistically those spaces would all be storage, or house animals, or hold the capstan, etc. But it's dnd and one of these is going to be a dungeon on its own, so I want this to be interesting, not realistic. So I'd prefer not to add any more storage/supply rooms, even though I know that's logical.)

Floorplan pictures and a list of rooms each one already has under the cut if anyone is curious.

Ship #1 - The Sea Snake (3 masts, galleon, captained by Kora Wolf)

Floorplan: (bow -> stern, top deck -> hold)

Rope Locker (forecastle)

Navigation Room / Wizard's Study (forecastle)

Officer's Quarters (forecastle)

Captain's Quarters (below quarterdeck)

Bow Chasers (gun deck)

Main Battery + Crew Quarters (gun deck)

Powder Magazine* (gun deck)

Galley (orlop deck)

Mess Hall (orlop deck)

Infirmary (orlop deck)

Armory (orlop deck)

Child Guest Room** (orlop deck)

??? No clue what to put here (orlop deck)

Child Play Room** (orlop deck)

??? No clue what goes here (hold)

Main Cargo Hold (hold)

Brig (hold)

Vault/Treasure Room (hold)

*: trust me, I'm aware that's not a good place for it logically. I don't care. **: for character backstory reasons

Ship #2 - The Tide Breaker (two masts, brig, captained by Zara Fairweather (formerly) and Rook (future))

Floorplan: (bow -> stern, top deck -> hold)

Galley (forecastle)

Mess Hall (forecastle)

Captain's Quarters (below quarterdeck)

Ship's Cat's Room** (gun deck)

Powder Magazine* (gun deck)

Main Battery + Crew Quarters (gun deck)

Armory (gun deck)

Infirmary (gun deck)

?? No clue what to put here (hold)

Main Cargo Hold (hold)

??? No clue what to put here (hold)

*: trust me, I'm aware that's not a good place for it logically. I don't care. **: yes, I know this is silly and ridiculous but a friend suggested it and the party does have a cat, so it makes sense

Ship #3 - [Val's Ship] (this one needs a name. suggestions welcome) (one mast, sloop, captained by Kyron Valris)

Floorplan: (bow -> stern, top deck -> hold)

[not pictured] Captain's Quarters (below quarterdeck)

Galley (gun deck)

Mess Hall (gun deck)

Main Battery + Crew Quarters (gun deck)

??? No clue what to put here (gun deck)

Infirmary (gun deck)

Powder Magazine (hold)

??? No clue what to put here (hold)

Main Cargo Hold (hold)

Garden* (hold)

*: this ship has a druid on the crew, who is able to maintain a garden on a ship, despite this not typically being possible Note: this ship technically belongs to smugglers, not pirates, so the choice of them not having heavy weaponry or a dedicated armory is intentional to avoid suspicion.

New study reveals troubling factor that can increase the risk of dementia: ‘The effect could actually be quite large’

"Air pollution has a clear impact on our ability to breathe and has been linked to many health risks, such as heart disease, lung cancer, and emphysema. Now, scientists have uncovered another possible hidden risk of air pollution: dementia and Alzheimer’s disease."

"Particle pollution, which includes dirt, dust, soot, and smoke, is created by cars, coal fires, factories, and construction sites. As the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) explains, breathing in particle pollution can be harmful to our health, particularly the super tiny ones, as they “can get into the deep parts of your lungs — or even into your blood.”

What’s being done about particulate air pollution?

"The EPA standard currently mandates that fine particle pollution in the air should be limited to 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air or less. However, the agency recently proposed changes to strengthen air quality in the United States by bringing that limit down to 10 micrograms per cubic meter."
