Ibuprofen and the Coronavirus

In March of 2020 the French government, specifically Olivier Veran, announced that any patients that are COVID-19 positive or have any COVID symptoms should avoid taking any ibuprofen. He stated that "taking nay anti-inflammatory drug could be an aggravating factor to the infection." The government is also saying if you need to take any pain medication, instead take acetaminophen, such as Tylenol. Anti-inflammatories have been said to suppress the immune system, making the virus harder to fight off. This statement did cause some controversy among the medical community. Some professionals are saying that this is a very "bold" statement being that there have been no tests run to test this theory, along with no scientific evidence to back up this, which is nothing but an untested theory.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
