The Brazos River water snake (Nerodia harteri) and the Concho water snake (Nerodia paucimaculata) are listed as Near Threatened because their respective ranges are limited to about 1,900 square miles (5,000 square kilometers) in north-central Texas. Meghna Heli Bridge was an aerial operation of Indian and Bangladeshi allied forces during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. It took place on 9 December, when the Indian Air Force airlifted the Mukti Bahini and the IV Corps of the Indian Army from Brahmanbaria to Raipura in Narsingdi over the River Meghna, bypassing the destroyed Meghna Bridge and Pakistani defences in Ashuganj. Fighter units obtained the more modern A-10 Thunderbolt II ground support aircraft and F-4 Phantom IIs, and in 1984, the Air Force Reserve received its first F-16A Fighting Falcon. Children are more likely to be exposed than adults because they are more active outdoors. The chances of being affected by unhealthy levels of particle pollution increase the longer a person is active outdoors and the more strenuous the activity. They can reduce their exposure by reducing the time they spend being active outdoors (e.g., gardening 30 minutes instead of an hour), by reducing the intensity of outdoor activity (e.g., jogging instead of running), or by being active outdoors when air quality is better.

While healthy children do not usually experience serious health effects from short-term exposures to particle pollution, evidence indicates that long-term exposures can affect lung function growth. The EPA designed a colorful poster (Figure 12), which you can use in patient waiting areas or exam rooms to educate your patients about the health effects of outdoor air pollution, including particle pollution, on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. See the “Patient Education Tools” section of the course for a printable file of the poster. What education materials are available? Your patients can reduce their exposures simply by taking it easier when particle pollution levels are at unhealthy levels. How can my patients reduce particle pollution exposure near roadways? What can I advise my patients to do when the air quality is unhealthy? More information about EnviroFlash can be found at the AirNow Website. This suggests that in the absence of information that would enable averting behavior, children experience higher ozone exposure and, subsequently, a greater number of asthma hospital admissions than on alert days with similar ozone concentrations.

Figure 10) reported reduced time spent outdoors in reponse to air quality alerts. Figure 11, reproduced from Neidell (2009), shows covariate-adjusted asthma hospital admissions as a function of daily maximum one-hour ozone concentration for all days (gray line) and days when no ozone alert was issued (black line). It is a quick and simple thing that people can do to ensure their car is getting maximum power. For people with heart disease, exposure to high particle pollution levels can cause serious problems in a short period of time-even heart attacks-with no warning signs. You’d probably know if it’s leaking but, just in case, check around its base for signs of water. When the water container is empty, it is lifted off the top of the dispenser, and automatically seals to prevent any excess water still in the bottle from leaking. That atom is in constant motion ricocheting off the sides of the container.

In an outflow water clock, a container is filled with water, and the water is drained slowly and evenly out of the container. As loam doesn’t dry out in the summer or get waterlogged in winter, it is an ideal soil for growing plants all year round. He was quick to respond to my initial phone call, quick to get out to our house, and the process was fast. Later, in 1943, Procter & Gamble produced Tide, which could get out tougher stains due to the use of some very unique chemical ingredients. UAntwerp wants to get rid of all plastic water bottles, as the amount of waste that it causes is not at all sustainable. Sure, being a geek is cool and all, but don’t you wish sometimes you could just get outside and enjoy some fresh air? If gone unchecked, the net transfer of water from the inside of your cells to the outside will cause the cells to shrink considerably – and shrinkage is never good. Biophilic design aims to satisfy the innate human need to connect with nature and brings the outdoors inside. Children with asthma who spent at least some time outdoors reduced their total time spent outdoors by an average of 30 minutes on a “code red” ozone day (AQI category is Unhealthy) relative to a code green, yellow, or orange day.
