    A spokesperson for the World Health Organization, Christian Lindmeier, stated on 17 March that the destruction of #Iran's oil infrastructure released hazardous #hydrocarbons, #SulfurOxides, and #NitrogenCompounds into the atmosphere.

    When rain combines with these #pollutants, it can lead to #ChemicalBurns and #LungInjury. He emphasized the seriousness of the situation and noted that authorities in Iran have urged residents to remain indoors.

    "#BlackRain refers broadly to rainfall contaminated with atmospheric pollutants, explains Farzana Kastury, an environmental scientist at Adelaide University in Australia. Such rain often results from bushfire smoke or the burning of heavy fuels, which are by-products of crude #OilRefining.

    In Iran's case, the black rain likely contains pollutants generated from the combustion of these fuels during fires triggered by missile attacks, including substances such as #acetone, #toluene, and #carcinogenic compounds like #benzene and #methylenechloride ."

  7. Yay, unhappy with hardware shop prices and sizes, I had eventually found cheaper #acetone sold at a drug store, but in tiny bottles, with glycerine etc in it as well.

    On your tips, I found one of the Dollarstore brands without any additional additives and in a good middle-ish size.

    And made in Canada too. $3.25.

  12. Wah - I haven't bought #acetone in a loooong time. I had no idea it was so expensive now. Just checking prices. Is it used in meth production or something?

    I expected $5-10 maybe but it's looking like $17 for a litre.
