Saint John refinery neighbour hopes new regulations reduce cancer-causing pollutant
Public health experts are divided on whether the level of benzene emissions in a residential neighbourhood near the Irving Oil Refinery in Saint John pose a threat to human health.

Il 40% dei fornelli a gas europei perde benzene anche da spento, e il nostro naso non se ne accorge. Un nuovo studio su 72 case tra UK, Italia e Paesi Bassi rivela concentrazioni fino a 66 volte superiori a quelle americane. Il paragone dei ricercatori? Come vivere con un fumatore.

Lasciate perdere i confronti con i piani a induzione: qui si tratta di capire se possiamo permetterci di non sapere cosa respiriamo a casa nostra.

Why is #BlackRain Falling on #Tehran and What Does It Mean for Health?

Excerpt: "Toxic Emissions From Damaged #Oil Facilities

A spokesperson for the World Health Organization, Christian Lindmeier, stated on 17 March that the destruction of #Iran's oil infrastructure released hazardous #hydrocarbons, #SulfurOxides, and #NitrogenCompounds into the atmosphere.

When rain combines with these #pollutants, it can lead to #ChemicalBurns and #LungInjury. He emphasized the seriousness of the situation and noted that authorities in Iran have urged residents to remain indoors.

"#BlackRain refers broadly to rainfall contaminated with atmospheric pollutants, explains Farzana Kastury, an environmental scientist at Adelaide University in Australia. Such rain often results from bushfire smoke or the burning of heavy fuels, which are by-products of crude #OilRefining.

In Iran's case, the black rain likely contains pollutants generated from the combustion of these fuels during fires triggered by missile attacks, including substances such as #acetone, #toluene, and #carcinogenic compounds like #benzene and #methylenechloride ."

Why is Black Rain Falling on Tehran and What Does It Mean for Health?

Toxic black rain containing cancer-causing chemicals falls on Tehran after missile strikes damage oil facilities, prompting WHO warnings.

If you need to seek refuge from smoke, then your municipal water supply is PROBABLY cancerous.

Because physics. Your city water supply has been contaminated, and systemic cleaning is necessary.
