American Lung Association Urges People Living Near Wildfires to Protect
Themselves Against Staggering Levels of Unhealthy Air Pollution
Dangerous air pollution resulting from wildfires poses lethal health
hazards to people living and working in the surrounding areas. Residents with
respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis and also those
with chronic heart disease should take extra precautions during this time and
call their physician immediately if problems develop. The American Lung
Association recommends people downwind of fire-stricken areas should stay
indoors and avoid breathing heavy smoke or ash filled air. Those living in
surrounding areas of the fires should avoid exercising outdoors, particularly
if they smell smoke or notice eye or throat irritation. When driving through
smoky areas, car windows and vents should be kept closed. Air conditioning
should be set to “recirculate” to avoid exposure to unhealthy outside air.

NASA Reveals New Discoveries From Mercury
Scientists have argued about the origins of Mercury’s smooth plains and
the source of its magnetic field for more than 30 years. Now, analyses of data
from the January 2008 flyby of the planet by the Mercury Surface, Space
Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging spacecraft have shown that volcanoes
were involved in plains formation and suggest that its magnetic field is
actively produced in the planet’s core. Scientists additionally took their
first look at the chemical composition of the planet’s surface. The tiny craft
probed the composition of Mercury’s thin atmosphere, sampled charged particles
near the planet, and demonstrated new links between both sets of observations
and materials on Mercury’s surface. The results are reported in a series of 11
papers published in a special section of Science magazine July 4.
