Studies on the possible danger of tattoos While it is usually talked about association and non-cancer-causing tattoos, experts warn that people should be informed that a small percentage of risk remains even if more research is needed to determine its severity; then, for example, the risks of some infections such as those caused by mycobacteria seem to increase with the possibility of spreading other pathologies considering that the pigment is deposited in the dermis and inks, traces of potentially dangerous metals such as nickel and chromium have sometimes been found in the tests, then in one case arsenic, mercury and lead was found. Ninety-three percent of the inks tested violate European regulations, sixty-one contain risky pigments even if generally the level of metals remains within limits; then js talk about any allergies possibility even in the case of removal. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 16/04/2025 ![]() ![]() Think twice before getting a tattoo Removing a tattoo could be a more difficult, expensive and annoying operation than doing it; so some say that it is better to think twice before deciding to enter a shop where these drawings are made on the skin, sometimes it even painful, then it seems that many people want to change it or get tired of having it (it can remember periods of life related to a past that for example they would like to forget), But it is not so simple to proceed with the removal. Some colors are more difficult to eliminate with specific lasers and an unpleasant halo remains, then the color molecules can migrate and reach the organs even if progressively over time the pigments have generally become safer and it is appropriate to write a reminder on the type of specific dye used on the date of the tattoo. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 30/12/2024 ![]() ![]() Prohibition for e-cigarettes sale in Vietnam Satisfaction in Vietnam of many parents of children who smoke e-cigarettes about the ban on the sale from next year in the country of these e-cigarettes that were spreading very quickly especially in a young audience that often smokes outside schools exposing those nearby to secondhand smoke, then seem to smoke even in hospitals where it is forbidden. The e-cigarette stores in Vietnam were multiplying and with the ban on sales there are fears that it could be circumvented by the black market, so a well-planned strategy should be adopted on the different aspects by combining the stringent measures to the sales restrictions with targeted reinforcement measures so that they can really be effective for this complex sector and that represents a real challenge. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 20/12/2024 n: 5830 ![]() Considerations on the reopening of Notre-Dame On the eve of the reopening of the famous Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris after the 2019 fire, some pointed out that it is probably little known that several billion particles of lead were released from the burning of the roof of the beautiful monument and the flames of the spire; in fact, it seems that the dense yellowish smoke that rose like clouds suggested that that coloring was due precisely to the heavy metal particles and unhealthy if inhaled. It is estimated that four hundred tons of lead went up in smoke and pushed by the wind they reached up to sixteen kilometers east from the French capital. There is talk of possible neurological, renal and cardiovascular damage especially in children caused by lead as well as impact on fertility, increased risk of tumors, fetal abnormalities in pregnant women; therefore decontamination interventions are also required. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 06/12/2024 n: 5818 ![]() Measures to improve air quality Among the highly polluted cities that have managed to improve air quality over the years, some give the example of Beijing; in fact, it seems that the Chinese capital with twenty million residents was particularly dependent on coal for heating homes and polluted by car emissions, so the authorities in 1998 decided to adopt measures to improve air quality, starting with the most polluting devices, coal-fired boilers, cleaner fuels and industrial renovations (but with emissions delocalised). There is talk of a reduction between 2013 and 2017 of thirty-five percent in PM2.5 concentrations, then reductions in pollutants that are always very harmful to health such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and PM10, also promoting the use for example of electric cars, public transport, industrial transformations, afforestation, regional cooperation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 03/12/2024 n: 5815 ![]() An unclear future for young people A growing number of crises are threatening the future of young people, from those related to the demographic increase on the planet to climate and technological crises, to conflicts; then international organizations warn that these unhealthy issues for healthy youth development in the coming years will only become increasingly stressful, intrusive and pressing, such as extreme weather phenomena and dangers from surfing the Internet. Decades of progress would be threatened for girls in particular and in general young people will be a minority in an aging world population even if the ratio will remain similar (two billion three hundred million young people) due to the high birth rate in the sub-Saharan countries of Africa. It is also expected that artificial intelligence will increase inequalities between rich and poor countries. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 21/11/2024 n: 5805 ![]() Increasing air pollution in New Delhi The levels of heavy metals detected in the air of New Delhi would be alarming and the capital of India also finds itself covered by a pall of unbreathable smog fifty times the maximum level recommended by international health organizations, then colder temperatures and little wind tend to stagnate pollutants in the air, worsening the situation. It is estimated that for thirty million people, the levels of pollutants exceeded eight hundred micrograms per cubic meter of air, including PM2.5 microparticles considered carcinogenic and which can easily enter the bloodstream simply by breathing through the lungs. Recently even in the Punjab region of Pakistan there was talk of unbreathable air with the authorities forced to close some schools, activities and outdoor shops; with concerns for children exposed to pollution. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 14/11/2024 n: 5799 ![]() Increase in sales of e-cigarettes in Vietnam Statistics regarding the sale of e-cigarettes to thirteen and fifteen-year-old students in Vietnam would show an increase defined as alarming from three and a half percent in 2022 to eight in 2023, then even among adults the trend is for a sharp increase; despite the fact that the country has made progress in reducing the sale of traditional cigarettes. International authorities recommend imposing taxes of at least seventy-five percent on the selling price of cigarettes in order to effectively discourage purchases, then must bear in mind the heavy health damage that can be linked to smoking with costs that fall on health systems that are increasingly short of funding and sometimes in serious difficulty in various countries around the world. It should be noted that recently in Italy there was talk of a case of an electronic cigarette that exploded in the mouth. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 23/10/2024 n: 5781 ![]() Unlivable cities with three degrees Celsius more By continuing to release the current quantities of carbon dioxide and other climate-changing gases into the atmosphere, temperatures in almost a thousand large cities around the world could exceed three Celsius degrees compared to pre-industrial levels, making them practically unlivable, at least according to a study that shows that heat waves would last months, with, for example, abnormal use of air conditioners for skyscrapers (and in general for every habitable room); then with the significant increase in the risk of insect-borne diseases such as dengue, zika and chikungunya. Heat waves would go from lasting about sixteen days, in a scenario calculated at less than one and a half degrees Celsius of global warming, to twenty-four days with three degrees of increase and their frequency would go from almost five times each year to over six; therefore with huge demand for the use of air conditioners. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 26/09/2024 n: 5758 ![]() Eco-friendly and economical sailing An eighteen-day maiden transatlantic voyage from the port of Le Havre in France to Newark in the United States would have been carried out by a cargo ship propelled by sails and apparently the classic navigation with wind thrust and therefore free propulsion is of interest again which allows not to pollute and save on the purchase of hydrocarbons which, for example in the event of a shipwreck, can also become a serious environmental threat. In this case the eighty-one-metre-long thousand-tonne sailing cargo ship was initially propelled by engines before the two gigantic double sails could provide the appropriate thrust. It is estimated that almost three percent of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere (about one billion tons of carbon dioxide each year) are due to motor navigation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: 04/09/2024 n: 5739 ![]() Salutary and Well-being * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
