Can You Build Immunity to Air Pollution? | Science vs. Myth
YouTube video by Pollution Puppy Patrol Can You Build Immunity to Air Pollution? | Science vs. Myth

Many doctors tell parents of children with asthma (over 5 years of age) not to wear a #AirPollution mask outdoors or use an air cleaning filter indoors, because the children will not be able to develop immunity. I explain in this video what is going on and why that's not true.

Border Patrol chief leading Trump immigration crackdown in Chicago ordered to report daily to federal judge In a tense hearing, Gregory Bovino faced scrutiny for alleged violations of court orders limiting use of force.

They often violate the bill of rights as well as the court's orders.

I don't want to see Mr Bovino end up charged with crimes that because of his systemic policy actions ignoring the law will not allow him & others under his command to enjoy qualified immunity.

Air pollution from oil and gas causes 90,000 premature US deaths each year, says new study Study analyzed health impacts of fossil fuels from exploration to end use, and found communities of color bear brunt of harm Air pollution from oil and gas causes more than 90,000 premature deaths and sickens hundreds of thousands of people across the US each year, a new study shows, with disproportionately high impacts on communities of color. More than 10,000 annual pre-term births are attributable to fine particulate matter from oil and gas, the authors found, also linking 216,000 annual childhood-onset asthma cases to the sectorโ€™s nitrogen dioxide emissions and 1,610 annual lifetime cancer cases to its hazardous air pollutants.

Yes, but smaller. Black and brown carbon fine and ultrafines carrying toxins within, reaching every organ of the body.

We assumed this following the #BlackCarbon detection method developed by the University of Hasselt, Belgium lab (Bovรฉ & Naurot) ~10 yr ago.

Congrats to Prof. Grigg for the study confirming it through same day personal exposure.

NOTE: BC short term exposures also can be revealed in urine samples.

More young U.S. adults report trouble with memory and focus From 2013 to 2023, the prevalence of self-reported difficulties with memory, concentration and decision-making nearly doubled among young adults.

Nearly twice as many young adults reported cognitive disability in 2023 as in 2013.

Likely they chose to balance energy use with open windows. Health risk is often not the only factor. Highly-occupied naturally-ventilated buildings typically don't have fan forced air.

1500 ppm is a dated limit to select.

800 ppm should be the norm - see WELL building standards.

Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.

To the contrary... Regulations and Regulatory Enforcement more often create jobs while improving the health and safety of entire populations.

We must not allow the bottom line of a few special interests to determine our choices of energy, resources, chemicals and processes.

Several masked and armed ICE goons raided the Super Gigante West Norriton Farmers Market in southeastern Pennsylvania, detaining both employees and shoppers at the store. One witness shouted, "This is disgusting...
These are hardworking people... You're separating families."

#Project2025 is a smokescreen intended to weaken the USD$ to pump up cryptocurrencies.

These ultra right fringe broligarchs openly describe their hope to create autonomous techno-fuedalism cities that they will finance after enriching themselves through the fall of the US dollar.

Subscribe to Sen Whitehouse's YouTube channel. He does plenty.

You are thinking of the senior dem senators under the control of the same Neoliberal elite financing campaigns through dark money donations.

Your message and disdain is spot on Gary. The target is just wrong.

RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH.

These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures.

Business owners have always desired and lobbied for low enforcement.
The Trump admin paused immigration raids last week at:

Farms and agricultural sites

Hotels and lodging establishments

Restaurants and eateries

Food processing facilities/factories and meatpacking plants

I've noticed it also used for police. Which that dilutes the specificity of prevention in a way.
