  1. Kalimantan still has fires, thick smokes, and areas with high carbon monoxide (CO) concentration. ⚠

    Here are true colour (RGB), aerosol index (AI), and carbon monoxide (CO) concentration images of Kalimantan using mosaic since 11 September 2026.

  2. Animation of daily carbon monoxide (CO) concentration in Kalimantan, Indonesia, since last month

    - 7 August 2026: A significant patch of increasing carbon monoxide level on West Kalimantan.
    - 18 August 2026: More patches of those found on the island as a whole.
    - 30 August 2026: The carbon monoxide level on the island is so high and starts affecting the Philippines.

    Excerpt: "The number of active #satellites in orbit has grown exponentially from about 1,400 in 2015 to about 15,000 currently. As many as 100,000 are expected to be in orbit within the decade, not including the #datacenter networks. As of now, the bulk of the satellites’ pollution is thought to come from #Starlink and Amazon’s '#MegaConstellations' that provide broadband internet made up of about 10,000 satellites.

    "Spacecraft can cause problems on their way up and down. Launches emit a range of emissions like #BlackCarbon, #NitrogenOxides, #CarbonMonoxide, #AluminumOxide, #ChlorineGases and, once in orbit, #mercury. When satellites are decommissioned five to 15 years later, they release metals as they vaporize. That’s injecting #pollutants into previously pristine parts of the #stratosphere, a highly sensitive system, and there’s very little understanding of the consequences."

  4. The scale, which runs from 0 to 500, was designed by the #EPA & measures the density of five different #pollutants in the #air: ground-level #ozone, #particulates, #CarbonMonoxide, #NitrogenDioxide & #SulfurDioxide.

    Several spots in northeastern Minnesota, closest to the fires recorded had AQI readings well into the “hazardous” range on Wednesday.

  7. Hidden #tree #bark #microbes munch on important #climate gases
    Knowing these vast #microbiomes' preferences might help customize #reforestation plans
    The #treebark microbes feast on #hydrogen, #methane and #carbonmonoxide. Methane is a #greenhousegas 28 times more potent than #carbondioxide over a 100-yr. Carbon monoxide — which is lethal to humans — and hydrogen enhance #globalwarming indirectly, by helping methane persist longer in atmosphere.

  8. My carbon monoxide alarm was going off, red light flashing on the and green light on the right. It was pointed on very recently that it should have been replaced. What does it mean? Is it still accurate? Thanks in advance 😊

  10. We are headed into the season of the Nobel Prize. Announcements of awards will begin on October 6, with the Physics Prize being announced on the 7th. This year, I decided to have some fun in the “fediverse” and try to tease some nuggets out of the wisdom of the crowd.

    While crowds are, in fact, not always wise, it is nonetheless fun to use some of the tools of the open social web to prompt […]

  11. "An antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning could come from bacteria.

    Mice treated with a tweaked version of a bacterial protein rapidly cleared carbon monoxide from their blood, safely eliminating it through urine, researchers report in the Aug. 12 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

  13. Okay, hive mind…I need a little help! We need to replace our hardwired Nest Protects (smart smoke & CO detectors) in September because Google, in their infinite wisdom 🙄, decided to discontinue this truly top notch product just months before ours turn 10 and stop working. Aaargh!

    Does anyone have a hardwired smoke/CO detector — smart or otherwise — that they would recommend?

  14. Why a new #zero-carbon #UK #steel plant offers hope and a headache | Steel industry | The Guardian

    The problem with making steel using a #BlastFurnace is that it requires very high temperatures and #CokingCoal to #reduce the #Oxygen content as it is made to bond to #Carbon instead. This produces #CarbonMonoxide and then #CarbonDioxide.
