WHO says 99 per cent of world's population breathes poor-quality air

The World Health Organization, about six months after tightening its guidelines on air quality, on Monday issued an update to its database on air quality that draws on information from a growing number of cities, towns, and villages across the globe -- now totaling over 6,000 municipalities.

Nitrogen dioxide originates mainly from human-generated burning of fuel, such as through automobile traffic, and is most common in urban areas. Exposure can bring respiratory disease like asthma and symptoms like coughing, wheezing and difficulty in breathing, and more hospital and emergency-room admissions, WHO said. The highest concentrations were found in the eastern Mediterranean region.

The findings highlight the sheer scale of the changes needed to combat air pollution, said Anumita Roychowdhury, an air pollution expert at Center for Science and Environment, a research and advocacy organization in New Delhi.

Should wear a mask, helps with that too.

Canada's veterinarians are not OK — overwork, pet owners, debt load leading to burnout | CBC NewsThe Canadian Veterinary Medical Association estimates that 30 per cent of Canadian veterinarians and 50 per cent of veterinary technicians are in the advanced stages of burnout. Thank you. It’s not just the vets that are burning out. It’s the techs and the front office staff who unfortunately get the brunt of the client rage when they can’t book them in immediately because there is no space in the book or when they get the bill. Be kind to us. This is, of course, true in the US as well as likely many other places. A veterinarian friend filled me in on how many pet owners are just downright abusive to these people working so hard to help their animals. I now bring in FTJ (forget the jerks) treats to every appt. Vets also cater to the wealthier clients. I was severely mistreated by the vet at Pembina Animal Hospital in Winnipeg. The vet spoke down about my animal too. Tried to overcharge me. When I set boundaries up and made a complaint, the vet told me to take my cat elsewhere.
