  1. 'Steeds vaker Saharazand in de lucht, luchtwegpatiënten de dupe'

    "Door verwoestijning en klimaatverandering waait er steeds vaker fijn Saharastof naar Europa."

    "voor astma- en andere luchtwegpatiënten is het spul vooral fijnstof waarvan ze problemen kunnen krijgen"

    "Door de kernproeven die de Fransen in de woestijn in Algerije hebben gedaan, is veel Saharazand radioactief geworden. Dat krijgen ze nu weer terug."

  5. @yantor3d Given the heat along the US East Coast, hyperthermia and heatstroke are going to be bigger problems than fireworks. Given the fireworks and overflights by planes not meeting modern emissions standards, the Washington, DC area will have the added issue of asthma attacks and medical crises for people with #copd. #vawx #dcwx #mdwx #health

  7. COPD is a smoking driven disease, and these states have the highest smoking rates and the weakest tobacco controls in the country. Lung disease is not bad luck. It tracks decades of policy choices on tobacco, health care, and clean air. #COPD #PublicHealth

  12. Good news for those of us living with compromised lung function!

    London, San Francisco and Beijing are among 19 global cities that have achieved “remarkable reductions” in air pollution, analysis has found, having slashed levels of two airway-aggravating pollutants by more than 20% since 2010.

    The analysis found interventions such as cycle lanes, uptake of electric cars and restrictions on polluting vehicles had helped to drive the improvements.

    Beijing and Warsaw topped the ranking for cleaning up fine particulate pollution (PM2.5), reducing levels by more than 45%, while Amsterdam and Rotterdam saw the greatest improvement in nitrogen dioxide (NO2), with cuts of more than 40%.

    of the NSW government's Forestry Corporation.

    "You can kill a person with post-harvest burning just as well as with an axe”.
    (Bertolt Brech, slightly altered)

    "Structural violence
    is a form of violence wherein some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs or rights."
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structur

    When residents express their concerns about the prolonged toxic pollution to the relevant state institutions, the response is along the lines of 'close up your house, stay indoors or move away and shut up.'

  17. Toxic smoke pollution maximising harm

    The government's Forestry Corporation of NSW is still polluting the Bellingen, Gleniffer and Repton area with toxic smoke. Wet piles and the green timber piles are smouldering. After a cocktail of pesticides was applied, the wet piles with green timber were set alight and are left smouldering for days, maximising the toxic smoke pollution over a wide area.

    These negative externalities occur when the consumption or production of a commodity (cellulose) causes a harmful effect to a third party.

    It appears that the Forestry Corporation and EPA evade or pass responsibility and the many concerned residents ring 000 and overburden the small Gleniffer Bushfire Brigade now...

  21. Fire-induced health impacts by the Forestry Corporation of NSW Pt 1

    The state-owned Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) is doing ‘Planned Burns’ to the unwanted left-overs after logging and clear felling Tuckers Nob State Forests. The so-called ‘plantations’ or cellulose factory is or was a rich bio-diverse ecosystem before the destruction.

    Many residents live in the area and wildlife has moved back into the sprouting desert.The area has been declared a ‘hazard’ and 36 ha are being incinerated. They call it ‘Hazard Reduction’ because they have dried out the microclimate and increased the bushfire risk.

    Through a government decision and outmoded management practices every living being with a lung is now being wilfully exposed to toxic smoke from incineration.
    It is not bushfire smoke from climate disruption, but an intentional collateral to extracting cellulose from bio-diversity which has to be subsidised by tax payers. This is turning the area and the breathing beings into a sacrifice zone.

    The air-filled sacs in the lungs, the alveoli are forced to act as a cost-effective vacuum cleaner for forestry’s “Hazard Reduction” fallout, cleaning up their ‘debris’.

    There are no health warnings issued. The reduced air quality leads to exposure to bushfire smoke. Fire-induced health impacts lead to mortalities from particulate matter, increased cardio-respiratory hospital admissions and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.

    quote from article:
    "Professor Jenkins said if the condition were diagnosed early, inhalers and vaccinations could be prescribed to reduce the risk of "lung attacks" — coughing episodes triggered by infection or pollution that could cause irreversible lung damage."

    Für #COPD-Patienten empfiehlt z. B. der Lungeninformationsdienst:

    - Grippeschutzimpfung
    - Pneumokokkenimpfung
    - Covid-Impfung
    - Keuchhustenimpfung
    - Gürtelrose-Impfung
    und

  33. ⚕️ 👋 Medical Tip:

    I recently discovered our medical insurance pays for good quality table top room humidifiers, so if you have breathing problems like COPD or asthma check with your insurance provider.
    Also adequate room humidity helps prevent dry eyes and the resulting vision loss.
