Heat waves seen as insidious enemies Usually intense heat is associated with an unpleasant feeling that causes a bit of discomfort, but some feel that it is something that can be much more insidious and even dangerous due to the body's attempt to keep temperatures under control and lower them. Every organ must face an unhealthy stressful condition (which can even lead to death), and the mind can become unclear leading to mistakes in judgment. Moreover it should be considered that during heat waves, people generally sleep less well and the accumulated fatigue poses a risk for example at work, while driving, and during inspections. Recently due to the severe heat wave affecting many European countries there is talk of a Mediterranean Sea that is overheated and no longer able to sufficiently lower temperatures in the winter months. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 10, 2025

 Tropical nights that are not healthy in Italy It is unhealthy for the body to sleep with temperatures that never drop below twenty degrees Celsius (in some cases even thirty); in fact, the body struggles to fully recover its energy, and the quality of sleep can hardly be sufficient. If the humidity in the air is also high it is difficult to dissipate heat through sweating. In Italy the zero thermal level is above five thousand meters, oppressive heat waves with stagnant air, heat islands in cities due to heat accumulating in cemented areas, on busy streets, in large asphalt parking lots, from the external units of air conditioners; for example, some say that in cities like Bologna the perceived temperature stays at forty degrees even in the evening hours, making it definitely not refreshing after spending a sunny and little breezy day. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 28, 2025 n°: 5987 Allergies on the rise due to climate change The pollen season has significantly lengthened due to climate change and prolonged exposure causes allergies that can be very bothersome: runny nose, burning eyes, asthmatic symptoms and a marked feeling of discomfort. It is estimated that about a quarter of adults in Europe suffer from respiratory allergies, including severe asthmatic forms, while among children, the percentage ranges from thirty to forty percent; it is expected that by 2050, half of Europeans will suffer from symptoms related to the significant increase in allergies. The concentration of pollen and spores in plants has increased, and with the heat invasive species with very aggressive pollen tend to proliferate, while air pollution increases individual sensitivity to allergens; in some regions there are reports of waves of allergens especially in industrialized areas. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 21, 2025 n°: 5981 Reducing underwater noise pollution The underwater noises produced by ships and other human activities are growing at alarming rates considering, for example that whales and dolphins use clicks and whistles to communicate with their young, to navigate the oceans, to send danger signals, and to find food; therefore, many countries at a conference have raised the request to recognize the invisible but increasing threat posed by underwater noise pollution. A beluga whale can hear sounds produced by an icebreaker ship eighty-five kilometers away, causing stress and panic; in fact, underwater sounds can reach great distances and pose an obstacle to marine biodiversity, invisible but powerful. Under scrutiny for excessive noise pollution are propellers and marine thrusters, sonar, sounds produced by offshore industries and cargo ships. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 11, 2025 n°: 5972 Schools suitable for coping with heat waves Climate change is threatening school activities resulting in a serious economic and social risk, at least according to studies that also suggest that classrooms should not be warmer than twenty-six degrees Celsius; otherwise it becomes difficult to concentrate, thus hindering learning. In Africa school buildings have reportedly been constructed inspired by termite mounds that allow for natural ventilation, while building with clay and large protective overhangs helps absorb heat during the day to release it at night; in contrast, concrete and shiny coatings may look appealing but do not adequately insulate the building and force the use of air conditioners equipped with heat exchangers that overheat the entire surrounding environment. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 19, 2025

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: Apr 16, 2025 n°: 5926 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: Dec 30, 2024 n°: 5836 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: Dec 20, 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: Dec 06, 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: Dec 03, 2024 n°: 5815 Salutariness and Well-being  ... ^ 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
