Particulate matter more harmful for children
Children have an organism that has yet to develop and is therefore more susceptible to damage caused by fine particulate matter, then they breathe more frequently and therefore inhale a greater amount of pollutants; at least according to a Thai study that shows that schoolchildren who enjoy better health at school will have better results that they will give back to societies in the future. Thailand has one of the most polluting cities in the world and children would be at great risk of long-term damage to their respiratory system, especially due to PM2.5 particulate matter that is so small that it enters the bloodstream (not to mention that in traffic for example children are closer to car exhausts). Generally children do not understand what happens when they inhale pollutants and simply wonder why their throats burn and cough often.

A protected area at sea around the Galpagos
Off the Galapagos companies that exploit the seas with intensive fishing such as "industrial extraction" would put at environmental risk the islands that host a special biodiversity on the planet with a truly unique fauna and flora; therefore environmentalists propose to create a protected area on the high seas and in the adjacent marine regions in order to protect threatened migratory species and ensure that they can reach the coasts and build nests, raise and feed their young. The current marine protected area established in 1998 would be an exception in a world where only three percent of the oceans are adequately protected. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues difficulties due to the recent floods that have affected large areas in the north-west of Brazil on the border with Bolivia and Peru, are talking about thousands of people evacuated.

Floods in France and Indonesia
Three people are said to have died and four are missing due to a violent storm in southeastern France, particularly affecting an area north of Nimes where a bridge over the Gardon River was flooded by a torrent of water and mud that swept away a car with its occupants near the village of Dions, then other people were also swept away in Gagnieres in the Gard department and the authorities warn that the situation is still risky due to bad weather and to be careful not to put their lives in danger. As far as Indonesia is concerned, there is talk of floods and landslides with a provisional toll of twenty-six victims and eleven missing due to torrential rainfall that flooded rivers with consequent floods, then interruptions in the energy supply, significant damage also in the Padang Pariaman district.

Australian coral reef to be safeguarded
After monitoring a severe bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef, the Australian authorities have reportedly declared that they need to do further research to understand how widespread the phenomenon is due to climate change, with warming of the seas (in this case about one degree Celsius for long periods) and consequent expulsion of algae that live in symbiosis with corals giving their tissues their characteristic colors. There is talk of record ocean temperatures with enormous pressure on coral stress and if they don't come down in the next few weeks they will probably die. Some coral species are very hardy and manage to recover, but severe bleaching events now recur so frequently that it is feared that with further warming it will be increasingly difficult for them to recover with full vigor.

Natural predators alternative to pesticides
Climate change with the increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and the greenhouse effect affect both crop yields and the dynamics of how pests interact with plants, also increasing their survival rate and a study has shown how natural predators such as birds, beetles, spider and bug could be an effective alternative to pesticides by keeping the population of plant pests under control. Farmers are using more and more chemical pesticides because erratic rainfall with extreme rainfall variability generally makes plants less resistant to pests, but it only takes one species of predator to improve the situation; although it would be better to use more species for the natural functioning of the ecosystem and promote biodiversity.

February the warmest month on record globally
Last month would have been the ninth warmest month in a row on record partly due to an extreme heat wave that affected South America, then in Europe there is talk of the second warmest winter ever. In the first half of February daily temperatures were particularly high with peaks on four consecutive days of two Celsius degrees on average higher than those of the pre-industrial era, and this a few months after the first single day that had exceeded this limit had been monitored. A severe drought has hit Spain even if not with such anomalous temperatures, the oceans (which cover seven percent of the planet and absorb ninety percent of the excess heat produced by human activities) have been on average really warm with significant global climate consequences.

Study on the prolonged effects of the El Nino current
The effects of further warming caused by the global "El Nino" current could last until May with abnormal temperatures, at least according to researchers who argue that even if it is now gradually weakening the impact will continue in the coming months fueling the heat trapped in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities (the main ones are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide). Of particular concern are the sea surface temperatures which have been persistently and unusually high in the last ten months, and this cannot be blamed solely on El Nino. As always is call for a drastic reduction in polluting emissions to combat climate change because they are unequivocally the main culprits and in practice to a much lesser extent of the El Nino global current.

Avalanche warning in the Alps in Italy
The wave of bad weather characterized by intense rainfall that affected Italy brought a lot of snow to the Alps but unstable with a high risk of avalanches, a boy lost his life overwhelmed by an avalanche in South Tyrol while skiing off-piste; then there is talk of an orange alert in Piedmont for landslides and also in Emilia Romagna where the level of rivers remains under observation. Inconveniences in some cases due to the temporary closure of roads with people who remained isolated as happened in Gressoney in the Aosta Valley (the population complains about the lack of maintenance interventions). Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a spill of about twenty-one thousand metric tons of fertilizers aa well as heavy hydrocarbons from a ship in the Red Sea hit due to a conflict with consequent high environmental risk and danger of ecological disaster.

Over a billion obese people in the world
Being obese in many countries has become more common than being underweight, including countries considered to low and middle income where malnutrition was often faced, although there are countries where it is really difficult to feed the population, but this kind of obesity epidemic is a decidedly unhealthy condition with an increased risk of numerous health problems. The data was derived from estimates of more than two hundred and twenty million people in over one hundred and ninety countries, and if in the past it was thought that obesity was a problem of the rich now it is argued that it is a global issue. Researchers are particularly worried about children where the percentage of obesity monitored is constantly increasing, while at the same time hundreds of millions do not have enough to eat; in both cases with serious health consequences.

Antarctica too degraded
The light surface of the ice of Antarctica reflects the light much more than the dark one of the ocean so losing the polar sea ice means accentuating the global warming of the planet and even if there will not be an immediate rise in the seas, because it is salt water that freezes and is already in the ocean, it could cause it later increasing global warming. For three consecutive years the monitored extent of Antarctic ice in February would have set a record (less than two million square kilometers, for what is the summer season). By now if humanity wanted to change the pace of development of advanced societies tomorrow the ice would continue to retreat, at least according to the opinion of researchers who speak of a degradation that alters all future patterns of the entire ecosystem.

Pirates in jacket and necktie
By now the traditional image of the pirates organizes in groups from corsairs armed of guns and knives to the cingula have yielded the step to the new predator dressed in jacket and necktie that is annoying the web (bandits that unload entire site and they identify the protection keys, steal the symbols, musics..), even with one name of all security that hides the deceit to before the tacking of click. As an example writing "salutary.eu" on a famous search engine between the entrance connections to the site www.salutistico.it, others do not authorize links appear between which also one to those in order to unload freewares, but that practically they turn out to payment through Dialer. Attention to the pirates, exploratory of the web Internet, sails in sure waters; in fact the Demo of the program "Well-being Body - Mind - Soul" deposited that it enjoys all the copyrights can unload free from my salutary.eu Internet site or salutary.eu compiling the appropriate card of recording (and subsequently with relative password communicated) and I dissociate myself from the use of my software to payment for whichever site different from the mine. To notice unfortunately that also writing "salutistico.it" for the original site, are visualized links truculent or trap. - Lately is disappeared the intere site from some search engines.. (that evidently could use the same criteria of selection).
