  1. Under Pressure, #Cambodia Cleans Out #Cyberscam Compounds
    🧐"Revenue generated by #scam #compounds is est'd at US$12.5-19 billion p.a., equiv to as much as 60% of Cambodia’s formal GDP according to a Jan 25 report by Washington, DC-based #CSIS, ahead of industry at 41.8% of the formal economy.. Having been rooted out of #Philippines, & now Cambodia, they hv moved to new locations as far away the #UnitedArabEmirates, #Montenegro & elsewhere to better target Western markets"

  2. Curious about white-tailed #deer and how they select which plants to browse? Our new paper in Oecologia explores the role of plant #volatile #organic #compounds as important pre-ingestive cues that let deer know which plants have more protein and less defenses - helping them optimize their browsing throughout the year.

    Actual #metallic #mercury is pretty much harmless to health. It basically just passes through you. I wouldn't advise going out of your way to encounter pure mercury, but don't worry if you come across it.

    #Organic mercury #compounds are an entirely different beast. Some are easily absorbed by tissues, and can do serious damage. The case of Karen Wetterhahn was a real wake-up call about this.

  6. Are you Smelling Plastic? Millions are in the path of toxic smoke plumes -

    Smoke from wildfires is composed of #Volatile #Organic #Compounds (VOCs) that, when high up in the atmosphere, interact with #UV radiation to create #benzene and #formaldehyde.

    These are #toxic air pollutants that can have very adverse effects on human and animal health – and they happen to #smell like #burning #plastic

    Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun does more than just give us sunburns. It can interact with compounds already in the atmosphere to create new compounds.

    For example, ozone at the surface level (or smog as it’s commonly called) is caused by air pollutants such as NOx gases being broken up by UV radiation. The extra oxygen molecule then joins up with the free oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere to create ozone (O3).

    This is also why smog is most common in large urban populations just after rush hours on sunny days – the level of air pollution from vehicle exhaust is highest and the sun is out to facilitate the UV interaction.

  7. #German #compounds can be a peculiar thing, especially when it comes to names. On this sign, it says "Brühleichen". This could either be segmented into "Brüh-Leichen" (Engl. "boiling corpses") or the much more plausbile "Brühl-Eichen" (Engl. "meadow oaks"). #linguistics

  8. Prospective #compounds for the treatment of #neurodegenerative diseases have been synthesized by Russian #scientists. The compounds are of great interest for #medicinal chemistry, especially for the development of treatments for #Alzheimer's and #Parkinson's diseases.

  9. @muratk3n never heard about #solid #hydrogen (as a #rocket fuel). "...the SLS has two #rocket #boosters strapped to the side of its backbone. These are called "solid rocket boosters" — because they use #solid fuel #compounds — and they [...] provide 75 percent of the SLS's thrust" mashable.com/article/nasa-arte
