    Air pollution is a health concern, with over 90% of the world's population breathing air that exceeds World Health Organization safety standards. Fine and coarse particulate matter are especially dangerous. Rsearchers investigated how long-term exposure to particulate matter triggers immune imbalance in the lungs. "Our study reveals how chronic exposure to particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) triggers harmful allergic-like (TH2) immune responses," explains Prof. Hong. The researchers exposed mice to PM10 and PM2.5 daily for 16 weeks. They then analyzed lung tissue, plasma, and immune cell profiles to evaluate how particulate matter affected lung health and immune function. Mice exposed...

    Have you ever wanted to confirm and measure your environment directly, rather than rely on the government or others? I added an air quality detector to my own instruments this week—now can monitor in real-time my air quality, radiation, and weather. I've even got a surveyor's plumb hanging on a string over a target to visually observe earthquakes, it works, but is uncalibrated and gives satisfaction that yes, there is an earthquake underway. Minutes later I may get the email from USGS and UNR's seismological laboratory. But I distract from what I'd like to discuss and ask about today, air...
