Look at your deodorant while putting it on your armpit tomorrow morning.

Look at your ozone-producing ionizing air cleaner and photocopier when you go into the office.

They combine to produce
Ultra Fine Particles that you inhale, and then they migrate to every organ.

🧵 Perfume spray.
Man spraying on deodorant.
Right off the bat? The non-ozone producing #corsirosenthalbox, does remove UFPs AND volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

So should any HEPA.

BUT.

You will inhale them because your body has a thermal plume from your body.

Sorry for the long setup. You need to read this,
but I did not want to be click-baity.

So, deodorant, hand lotion, body spray, perfume, spray shampoo - and most likely anything that has a fragrance produces VOCs.

"Monoterpenes, in particular, are known to react with ozone inside, forming secondary organic aerosols (SOAs)." Personal hygiene products, including roll-on deodorant, hand lotion, body spray, perfume and spray shampoo, contain an amalgamation of over 200 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which then react with ozone in the air to form other potentially dangerous chemicals, according to a new paper in the journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters.
Personal care products contain a large cocktail of VOCs, including monoterpenes, acetaldehyde, siloxanes, alcohols, and alkanes. perfume spraying Stock image of a person spraying perfume. Personal care products like perfume, hair spray and hand lotion can release volatile chemicals that may react with ozone to other compounds.
Your fragrant ________ (insert Old Spice, Axe Body Spray, No. 5 Chanel, etc,), produces VOCs. They hit ozone and react. Turn into aerosols.

That clump up into UFPs. And your thermal body plume carries up for you to breathe them in.

Size illustration below. When using the PCPs in the presence of indoor ozone, these reactive VOCs underwent oxidation reactions to form a variety of gas-phase oxidized vapors and led to rapid new particle formation (NPF) events with particle growth rates up to ten times higher than outdoor atmospheric NPF events," the researchers wrote.
SARSCOV2 virus is 100 nm.
Is it me, Mr. Clean Air, just freaking out?

You judge - here are the scientists.

It IS difficult to hear that.

But it has to hit ozone, right? Where does THAT come from? "I know this is difficult to hear, but we're going to have to reduce our reliance on these products, or if possible, replace them with more natural alternatives that contain fragrant compounds with low chemical reactivity," Licina said. "Another helpful measure would be to raise awareness of these issues among medical professionals and staff working with vulnerable groups, such as children and the elderly."
Some definitely comes from outside. But that is short-lived, albeit, if it's always coming in ?

But ionizing air cleaners produce a ton of ozone - whether in-duct or portable air cleaners.

I know there will be a ton of questions. I think
. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…Highlighting ionizing air cleaners because they produce ozone.
The average outdoor ozone concentration in a day tended to be low in the morning and at night and high at noon. During the year, it tended to be high in spring and summer and low in autumn and winter. The half-life was usually between 7 and 10 min for ozone indoors, which has a relationship with surface removal rate and air exchange rate. Fadeyi [19] proposed that the contribution of ozone air purification equipment with a high ozone emission rate to indoor concentration could easily exceed that of outdoor ozone.
the most common ones will be....

How to tell if my product has monoterpenes? If it has a fragrance, it probably does.

How to tell how much ozone is there?

They sell Ozone Detectors on Amazon.

But, cheap may not be best.

Here's a good article, but

maybe
@akm5376 @Poppendieck @kate_cole_ @sri_srikrishna @marwa_zaatari @JimRosenthal4

know of any good, but cheap ozone detectors? Thank you either way!

@propublica - opening the window is not the only solution for formaldehyde.

In fact, formaldehyde is the most abundant VOC from fires. Like wildfires and wood burning stoves.

It is also found in tobacco smoke and automobile exhaust.

/1

acp.copernicus.org/articles/21/18…. x.com/propublica/sta…Formaldehyde (HCHO) is one of the most abundant non-methane volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by fires. HCHO also undergoes chemical production and loss as a fire plume ages, and it can be an important oxidant precursor. In this study, we
Formaldehyde is also a byproduct of combustion. When burning natural gas, kerosene, gasoline, wood, or tobacco, formaldehyde is produced. Automobile exhaust is a common source of formaldehyde in our environment. Tobacco smoking in the home is another source of the chemical in the indoor environment.
A good rule of thumb? Open the window and smell smoke or auto exhaust? Formaldehyde.

Also, windows are at the edges of a room.

What if you want to hurry the process along and clean the air in the middle of the room, too?
Portable Air Cleaners with activated carbon filters will remove formaldehyde.

Here is Smart Air providing a very easy to read demonstration of this.

Natalie Shure at it again. Community Noters - there are two excellent notes waiting for your votes.

Let me take this silliness apart.

Thread.
"these people aren’t just cruel/politically toxic,"

Telling people like Selma Blair that their MS is all in their head - now that's cruel. Telling LongHaulers it's all in their head - also, cruel.

I am sure harsh words were said, and Natalie will be a scouring all of the
worst ones to try and tag me to associate me with their poorly chosen words.

Except, now she won't as I have vaccinated my thread again st that silliness by calling it out.

"politically toxic" - 13% of America is still masking, based on the latest poll. What was the margin

.Airborne Dementia - got your attention?

@amy_fleming- great article! Dr. Schultek - fascinating study!

As one of a hive mind of clean air advocates, I think we can add something to this conversation.

🌬️ 🧵 🌬️
Quick intro - the study shares a variety of pathogens leading to dementia.

Below, we have Cryptococcus neoformans, a fungal infection, taking out a 70 year old man - but he was cured! 👇

Pleasantly surprising, the CDC has it marked as by inhalation.

. cdc.gov/cryptococcosis…A recent paper she jointly lead-authored, published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia, compiled a long list of case reports where infectious disease was discovered to be the primary cause of dementia, meaning that, in many cases, the dementia was reversible. A few of the patients died, but most survived and saw significant improvements in cognitive function, including a man in his 70s who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease after his swift cognitive decline saw him unable to drive or, eventually, leave the house alone. A sample of his cerebrospinal fluid was taken and revealed a fungal in...
Cryptococcosis is a serious fungal infection caused by breathing in fungal spores in the environment.
Unpleasantly, but not surprisingly, the CDC has completely abrogated its responsibilities at prevention.

cdc.gov/cryptococcosis…

So, here we go....

We spend 90% of our lives indoors.

We spend 5% of each day in a car.

fatherly.com/gear/how-much-… Prevention steps and strategies It's difficult to avoid breathing in Cryptococcus in areas where it is in the environment. There are no formal recommendations to prevent cryptococcal infection. However, most people who breathe in Cryptococcus never get sick from it. People with symptoms that may be caused by Cryptococcus, should see a healthcare provider as soon as possible

. I was going to leave this alone, but I can't help replying, @chrisvanderveen.

This is not directed at you, personally, as it is the CDC is to blame. Which means the President is to blame as they appoint the CDC director.

We can only know what we know.

🧵
Your reply above regarding the emergency phase being over, is ironic, given it happens in the context of a reply to your thread (that I liked) observing the absurdity of focused protection.

When, in fact, focused protection is the position of the CDC today. Image
Use focused protection if you or a family member is at high risk.

High risk is an interesting term.

I used to point out that the CDC definition had 74% of Americans as high risk for acute damage.

But the CDC hasn't mentioned that in years - or LongCovid.

Not often do I stare at a news story with my jaw hanging open.

🔥 🧵 🔥

@Raw_Farm has been forced to halt all sales of their "Bird Flu Milk" by the California state, because their dairy cows have #H5N1.

The Cali gov can say, "Told you so."

latimes.com/environment/st…
This comes two days ago after Mark McAfee swore up and down that his cows were not infected.

latimes.com/environment/st…McAfee said he does not think the virus is present in his herd. The tests that the state's agriculture department have been regularly conducting twice a week on his bulk milk have been negative. In addition, he noted, a test taken on Monday also showed no virus. In addition, he said, he monitors each cow at his farms with a high- tech device - made by the Austrian company smaXtec - which sits in a cow's udder and sends real-time information about the animal's body temperature, milk acidity, etc.
Less than two days ago after his screams that he was being persecuted by the state.

Less than a week after California health officers confirmed a finding of bird flu virus in store-bought raw milk, state agriculture officials descended on Mark McAfee’s Raw Milk dairy “like never before” Wednesday and began collecting samples from the farm’s two herds, creamery, bulk milk tanks and trucks, according to the owner.

Bhattacharya is an unserious person for a serious position.

A quick break down of his comments.

I thought the beginning where they share a snide laugh about LongCovid spoke volumes.

Then, Bhattacharyra (or Bhattie for short), talks about 100 million missed cancer screenings.
100 million cancer screenings missed - this is a serious issue.

Decent write-up below.

But what Bhattacharyra does not mention is the WHY.

theguardian.com/society/2022/n…
Hospitals were slammed BECAUSE of C0V1D the disease, even WITH the lockdowns. If Bhatttie had his way, and no lockdowns, it would been exponentially worse.

People were also avoiding hospitals because they did not want to catch Covid.



Next, Bhattie nature.com/articles/s4301…First, although the data remain limited, patients with cancer appear to be more vulnerable to worse outcomes from the infection, including greater need for ventilator support1 and elevated mortality rates2,3. Second, diagnosis may be delayed as screening programs and diagnostic services have been decreased or suspended in many countries, and patients, wary of exposing themselves to the risk of infection, have been more reluctant to present to healthcare services. Third, treatment pathways have been altered to minimize potential exposure of patients with cancer to SARS-CoV-2 and to reduce th...
