Alice Cooper – paranormal – mood of dark autumn
I am a very big fan of such interesting. Charisma performers. And I even cay say, sometimes, they are mystical. As Alice Cooper. So, lets take, for example, his videoclip and song - take – Paranormal. Alice Cooper – Paranormal.

Could bacteria help fix the smoky taste of #wildfire-tainted #wine?

Wildfires are getting deadlier and costing more. Experts warn they’re becoming unstoppable
“Climate change sets the stage for these disasters.”
"The number of deaths from fires was likely a gross underestimate. One database recorded 19 direct deaths from fires in Indonesia in 2015, but the resulting air pollution was implicated in about 100,000 premature deaths from respiratory problems."

Smoke from WUI Fires: Chemical Composition
Smoke pollution depends on what burns. Unlike wildland fires, which mainly consume vegetation, wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires involve homes, vehicles, businesses, and infrastructure. This mix of fuels produces a distinct chemical profile with important health implications. Studies show that all fires release elements such as magnesium, aluminum, and calcium. But WUI fires generate higher levels of toxic trace metals—including copper, lead, and zinc—linked to the burning of structures and manmade materials. For example, during the 2018 Camp Fire, average lead concentrations measured 200 km away were more than 40 times higher on smoke-impacted days. These elevated metals raise concerns for both public health and ecosystems. Many can cause acute, chronic, or delayed health effects through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion, putting downwind communities at particular risk.

While curing my cold with copious amounts of hot tea, I'm catching up with my "Shows to Watch" list.
I've just finished #TheCapture - I think S01 was better, but S02 is still good, recommended.
Also finished #StarTrekSNW S03 today and the most fun character was undoubtedly Doug. Looking forward to S04; curious how the writers plan to get rid of half of the crew.
And now: #Smoke, suggested by @DXMacGuffin.
Could #wildfire #smoke become #America's leading #climate #health threat by #2050?
In the span studied, millions of people were exposed to unhealthful levels of #air #pollution. When inhaled, this microscopic pollution not only aggravates people's lungs, it also enters the bloodstream, provoking inflammation that can induce #heartattacks and #stroke. For years, researchers have struggled to quantify the danger the smoke poses.

#Wildfire #smoke kills more than 40,000 #Americans each year, study finds
It’s blown in from thousand-acre Canadian #wildfires and from blazes in the American West. That smoke penetrates into the bloodstream and deep into organs, triggering lung and heart disease. The new paper suggests that smoke is already killing many more people than rising temperatures. “This is one of the most costly and important #climate impacts in the #US”

#Wildfires are changing the air we breathe—here’s what that means for your #health
Why #smoke from Western wildfires could be harming you—even miles away from the flame

Highest wildfire emissions in at least 23 years for Europe after a hectic summer
An almost constant stream of wildfire smoke from #Canada since April, extreme fires in southwest #Europe, unusually intense dust transport events and important ozone concentrations related to #heatwaves. As the meteorological summer comes to an end, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (#CAMS) reviews the key air quality episodes of a busy season.
August was particularly complicated over Europe with the concurrence of #wildfire #smoke from Canada and from the extremely intense fires burning in the #IberianPeninsula. At the same time, a significant dust transport event over the #Mediterranean reached parts of western Europe, up to #Denmark and the Mediterranean basin.
#Wildfire smoke will kill nearly 1.4m each year by end of century if emissions not curbed – study

The reach of this threat is extensive, too – recent research estimated that 22,000 people in #Europe were killed due to plumes of wildfire #smoke coming from vast forest fires in #Canada in 2023
Grist: Wildfire smoke could soon kill 71,000 Americans every year
The haze may already kill 40,000 people in the U.S. each year — the same number who die in traffic crashes. Climate change will only make matters worse.

I'm sorry, but I just can't stop taking pictures off my deck this morning. After more than a week of #wildfire #smoke induced haze, I can finally see all the way up to the north Cascades (dead center in photo)! But if you look in the upper right, you'll see haze high up in the mountains there; that's smoke from the fire that's been invading the valley for so long. I suspect it'll be back in place here within a day or two. I'm going to enjoy the clear, clean air while I can.
It's hilarious!
If the buyers want to get rid of the smell, it's easy. Rent or buy an ozone generator that is designed specifically for killing smells. You plug it in, set the timer for 20 or 30 minutes, then leave the room and close the door(s). After the device shuts off, open the doors and wait a bit before going back in.
These things can get the smell of smoke out of the hotel room / apartment of a chain smoker. A little pumpkin spice latte will not be a challenge.

Please take it seriously if/when wildfire smoke hits your area!
