And it’s not just cancers of the breast, thyroid, liver, pancreas, colon, brain, lung, testes, ovaries, skin, esophagus, blood, etc. that can be caused by manmade nuclear radiation.
It’s also:
- Heart disease .
- Respiratory Problems
- Stroke
- Pneumonia
- Increased susceptibility to viruses, bacteria, etc.
- Diabetes
- Circulatory problems
- Blood disorders, i.e., neutropenia, leukemia
- Thyroid problems
- Skin problems
- Stomach problems
- Birth defects
- Stillborn
- Miscarriages
- Cataracts
- Rashes
- Fatigue, dizziness
- Hearing loss
- Memory loss
- Cognitive problems
- Joint/Cartilage problems
- And more…
d'oh, be aware i have been quoting Pacific Daylight Time above. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIDK if there be a relationship between smoke & readings, especially based only upon momentary readings via two stations that may or not be historically average.
ReplyDeleteBighting my tongue somewhat for now, to ensure am not generating "harmful" rumor.
Got it to "the geek", whom may or may not already have been tracking this. :)
August appears to be shaping up to be hot, damn hot.
TTFN.
Sidebar, your honor.
ReplyDeleteQuote: "In a study published in July 2014, a team of scientists led by a researcher from the Desert Research Institute announced they had a discovered a new type of soot particle produced by wildfires. The particles, called “superaggregates,” are on average ten times longer and have a more compact shape than conventional soot particles from vehicles and cook stoves. Their distinctive shape means they likely have a more potent warming effect on the climate than other types of soot.
“We found that superaggregates contribute up to 90-percent more warming than spherical sub-micrometer soot particles, which current climate models use,” said the study’s lead author, Rajan Chakrabarty. “These preliminary findings warrant further research to quantify the significant impact these particles may have on climate, human health, and air pollution around the world.”"

Not going for climate change, just looking at potential modification to weather during wildfire season.
Over to you.
The Seattle area and NorthWest Washington are predicted to receive at least some smoke tomorrow. It should be much thicker in NW WA compared to Seattle though.
ReplyDeleteThank you, stock.
My warning was a botch job.
ReplyDeleteWe received no smoke, thankfully.
However; since i was wrong, i must modify what i do.
Am content to simply pass along wildfire smoke information to educate, along with links to smoke prediction maps. However; so far am missing smoke predictions for other areas than simply the land of Candu.
Update to "I wonder if forecast & Terra/MODIS data agree."
ReplyDeleteIt certainly didn't this weekend.
Winds shifted to the East, which might not have been surprising considering the weakness in onland surface air currents at the time. It was very thankfully a non-event, at least here in the Fraser Valley.
There was some smoky thunderhead (cumulonimbus) cloud Friday night.
*** I've drifted too far off-topic here, so deleted rest of comment. Apologies to admin & readership. Wildfire smoke & the chemically toxic, mutogenic, tetrogenic & especially carcinogenic properties of radiologicals has a loose link. I didn't really know where to discuss this at first, so i'll stop for now.
