the patient reported only #conjunctivitis with no respiratory or other symptoms, which likely resulted in lower viral #RNA #concentrations detected in the #nasopharyngeal sample and is suggestive of a lack of respiratory infection in the patient.
{The virus HA} lacks amino acid changes that improve recognition of mammalian receptors or fusion of the viral membrane with the host endosomal membranes.

Other countries like #Germany and #China that still burn a lot of coal should take note: changing or adapting the transport vehicles (wagons) might help to reduce #AirPollution significantly.
"It found that passing #trains carrying #coal add on average 8 micrograms per cubic meter of air (ug/m3) to ambient PM2.5 #pollution...Under certain wind conditions, these #concentrations reached *25* ug/m3..."

YubaNetCoal trains increase air pollution in San Francisco Bay Area - YubaNetCoal trains and terminal operations add a significant amount of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution to urban areas, more so than other freight or passenger trains, according to a study conducted in Richmond, California, by the University of California, Davis. The paper, published in the journal Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health, is the first study […]
The #alga #Melosiraarctica, which grows under #ArcticSea ice, contains ten times as many #microplastic particles as the surrounding #seawater. This concentration at the base of the #foodweb poses a threat to creatures that feed on the algae at the sea surface. Clumps of #deadalgae also transport the #plastic with its #pollutants particularly quickly into the #dee sea & explains high #microplastic #concentrations in the #sediment there. https://phys.org/news/2023-04-arctic-ice-algae-heavily-contaminated.html

What happened after Portland Oregon police teargassed protesters – a visual investigation
This model is the first of its kind to calculate the #chemical #concentrations in the air and deposits on the ground during a major #teargas #event in the US.
It builds on existing reports and litigation alleging the months-long teargas use during the summer of #protests caused severe #injuries, long-term #health problems, #menstrual #irregularities and #environmental hazards.
The research renews pressure on the scandal-ridden #police department and raises significant public health and #civil #rights concerns at a time when law enforcement agencies in the US and across the globe are escalating their use of teargas on crowds, including against #protesters for abortion rights and police accountability.
“Teargas is a form of #violence that is formless and shapeless and to a certain extent invisible,” said Lola Conte, an advanced researcher with FA, which is based at Goldsmiths, University of London. “Visualizing allows us to understand the massive scale of the #spread, and I hope this makes the #harm unignorable and shows that something is #failing on so many levels with the use of teargas.”
