Thailand's extreme air pollution: 'I feel sorry for my daughter' - BBC

Image
ARM THAMMANOON By Tossapol Chaisamritpol & Joel Guinto in Bangkok and Singapore For the past few weeks, Thommamoon Khowasat has painstakingly explained to his four year-old daughter that the yellow cloud they see outside their window - which has tickled her imagination - is actually a danger to her health. It's a scare that has gripped northern Thailand where millions of people are currently finding it harder to breathe. Widespread farm burning and forest fires have created a smog that's even thicker than usual, which is choking communities and exposing them to respiratory disease. In the tourist-favoured Chiang Rai province, and even the capital Bangkok, people have been on edge checking the air quality levels every day. "I feel very sorry for my daughter," said Thommamoon, who has not seen haze this thick in the 20 years he has lived in Chiang Rai. "As a child she doesn't know. She thinks that it's natural fog. But the truth is a poisonous mist....

7 best humidifiers for baby in 2023 - Insider

When you buy through our links, Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more. As a mom of two I'll do anything — truly anything — to get a good night's sleep, especially when my kids aren't feeling well, and I've found that a humidifier is a must-have item. I registered for a humidifier while pregnant after I learned that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends having a cool mist humidifier on hand for nurseries. When my daughters were infants, I took comfort in the AAP's advice that humidifiers could help ease a stuffy nose. Now that they're older, they ask for the humidifier once a cough or the sniffles strike.  What sets one humidifier apart from the rest, when it comes to choosing a humidifier for a baby or small child? For starters, you'll want to stick with cool mist humidifiers to prevent burns. In addition, skip diffusers, which can be harmful, especially to little lungs and people with asthma. Kee...

Water Purification in the Wild | Minnesota Sea Grant - Minnesota Sea Grant

Image credit: Adobe Stock/kaininstudio  © In 1904, my family lived on a lake in Itasca County and hauled drinking water in buckets from the lake. In the 1960s and 1970s, when my dad put up a cabin on his tiny teaching salary, he ran a flexible black pipe from twenty feet offshore to his cabin, put a foot valve on it, connected an old Rapidayton jet pump, and we had water! We drank it, we washed with it, we bathed in it (when we didn't bathe in the lake), and we flushed with it (as soon as we could afford a septic tank). None of our family ever got sick from drinking that water. Thirty years after that, when neighbors around the lake became concerned about decreases in lake water clarity, my dad, who was a biology professor, tested the water and found fecal coliform bacteria; the kind that indicated that people might get sick from drinking or swimming in the water. After my dad saw those test results, he had a deep well installed. Deep groundwater is purer than surface ...
