Adhesive-backed nasal strips are worn externally over the nose bridge to widen the nostrils for better breathing. These are available over-the-counter aids designed to improve airflow, nasal congestion and reduce ...
Spring is fast approaching, and coronavirus restrictions are being lifted all over the northern hemisphere. Are we ready to loosen up protection? Is there hope the virus will die in summer? With time flying unnoticed, we are already into our third summer with coronavirus being part of our lives. As of today, almost 500 million people worldwide have been in contact with SARS-CoV-2. These, of ...
A breath of fresh air Master breathing instructor, Sean Coakley has over 25 years of experience in breath training. He has seen first-hand how the typical postures adopted by riders affect the body and impact on breathing patterns. Problems like upper chest breathing and muscular tension in the ...
As countries worldwide start relaxing rules and lifting coronavirus restrictions, including wearing face masks in public, people with a weakened immune system may still need to protect themselves against airborne viruses and benefit from cleaner, purified air. ...
What is a Gas Humidifier? A gas humidifier is an instrument for artificially warming and humidifying respiratory gas for mechanically ventilated patients. When natural respiratory humidification decreases pulmonic infections and damage to lung tissue may ...
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Rely on Nitrogen Pharmaceutical manufacturers rely on nitrogen(N2) (an abundant, inert gas which makes up 78% of the air we breathe) for a wide range of uses, including everything from mixing raw materials, to cryogenic grinding (a process using liquid nitrogen to create ultra-fine, uniform particles), to purging oxygen from ...
Particularly for confined space entry, the heightened risk is two-fold: Limited airflow allows virus droplets breathed into the air to linger for longer; and Limited space may prohibit physical distancing between entrants. ...
Air pollution is often based on the values of particulate matter of size less than 2.5 micrometers(PM 2.5) and particulate matter of size less than 10 micrometers (PM10).PM 2.5 reduces visibility and cause the air to appear hazy when the levels are elevated. It is the most harmful pollutant to human health which can lead to respiratory diseases, lung cancer, and heart attacks. The World Health ...
Oxygen deprivation is called a silent killer because there are no indications that one is breathing oxygen deficient air until it is too late. As such, absent appropriate monitoring, workers would be unable to detect a nitrogen leak if one were to occur in a gas cylinder or line. ...
In the summer of 1974, the Hollies had a Top 10 hit when they sang, “All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you.” They were smart enough to recognize the importance, even in a midst of a heated romantic relationship, of breathing clean, fresh air. ...
We all know what it takes to keep a home clean. But what about the air itself? Every family wants to have a healthy home and that their children breathe clean air, but just a few actually understand what is bad air or how to change things once you notice a problem. With a little help, you can improve your home’s indoor ...

Preparedness is the Best Defence Much like other respiratory illnesses, SARS is spread by close contact, when a person infected with SARS contaminates the surrounding air with tiny droplets of infectious matter. Someone in close proximity of the infected person can then become infected by breathing in the contaminated air. ...
Mercury can stay in the atmosphere for up to a year. When released to the air, mercury is transported and deposited globally. Mercury ultimately accumulates in lake's bottom sediments, where it is transformed into its more toxic organic form, methyl mercury, which accumulates in fish tissue. ...
A training device has been developed that induces hypoxia using mixed gas delivered through anaviator’s oxygen mask. The reduced oxygen breathing device (ROBD) simulates the diminished oxygen present at altitude by mixing breathing air and nitrogen under normobaric conditions. ...
