In director Miles Warren’s searing feature debut about fathers, families and the effects of toxic masculinity, 14-year-old Darious (Jalyn Hall) explores the boundaries of his manhood through tumultuous interactions with Malcolm (Shamier Anderson), his strict but loving father, and Porter (Trevante Rhodes), a charismatic drifter.

As his relationship with his wife (Rhea Seehorn) and daughter (Katelyn Nacon) start to strain, surreal events begin unfolding around him – a doppelgänger moving into the house next door, a car falling from the sky, and an unusual teenage boy forging a friendship with him. He slowly starts to piece these events together to ultimately reveal that there’s more to his life story than he once thought.

Fall Reading List

The Darkening Age : The Christian Destruction of the Classical World by Catherine Nixey

A New York Times Notable Book - A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Named a Book of the Year by the Telegraph, the Spectator, the Observer, and BBC History Magazine.

In Harran, the locals refused to convert. They were dismembered, their limbs hung along the town's main street. In Alexandria, zealots pulled the elderly philosopher-mathematician Hypatia from her chariot and flayed her to death with shards of broken pottery. Not long before, their fellow Christians had invaded the city's greatest temple, smashing its world-famous statues and destroying all that was left of Alexandria's Great Library. Today we refer to Christianity's conquest of the West as a "triumph." But this victory entailed an orgy of destruction in which Jesus's followers attacked and suppressed classical culture, helping to pitch Western civilization into a thousand-year-long decline. In The Darkening Age, Catherine Nixey brilliantly resurrects this lost history, offering a wrenching account of the rise of Christianity and its terrible cost. "A feast of tales of murder, vandalism and] willful destruction . . . Nixey has a great story to tell, and she tells it exceptionally well." -- Guardian " A] bold, dazzling and provocative book." -- Peter Frankopan, best-selling author of The Silk Roads.

The Immortality Key : The Secret History of the Religion with No Name by Brian C. Muraresku

A groundbreaking, controversial dive into the role psychedelics have played in the human experience of the Divine and the development of religion throughout Western history. The Immortality Key connects the lost, psychedelic sacrament of Greek religion to early Christianity--exposing the true origins of Western Civilization. In the tradition of unsolved historical mysteries like David Grann's Killers of the Flower Moon and Douglas Preston's The Lost City of the Monkey God, Brian Muraresku's 10-year investigation takes the reader through Greece, Germany, Spain, France and Italy, offering unprecedented access to the hidden archives of the Louvre and the Vatican along the way. In The Immortality Key, Muraresku explores a little-known connection between the best-kept secret in Ancient Greece and Christianity. A secret with the capacity to revolutionize our understanding of the past and chart a bold, new course for the future. Before Jerusalem, before Rome, before Mecca--there was Eleusis: the spiritual capital of the ancient world. It promised immortality to Plato and the rest of Athens' greatest minds with a very simple formula: drink this potion, see God. Shrouded in secrecy for millennia, the Ancient Greek sacrament was buried when the newly Christianized Roman Empire obliterated Eleusis in the fourth century AD. Renegade scholars in the 1970s claimed the Greek potion was psychedelic, just like the original Christian Eucharist that replaced it. In recent years, vindication for the disgraced theory has been quietly mounting in the laboratory. The rapidly growing field of archaeological chemistry has proven the ancient use of visionary drugs. And with a single dose of psilocybin, the psycho-pharmacologists at Johns Hopkins and NYU are now turning self-proclaimed atheists into instant believers. With convincing analysis and a captivating spirit of quest, Muraresku mines science, classical literature, biblical scholarship and art to deliver the hidden key to eternal life, bringing us to what clinical psychologist William Richards calls "the edge of an awesomely vast frontier." Featuring a Foreword by Graham Hancock, the New York Times bestselling author of America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization.

Medusa : Solving the Mystery of the Gorgon by Stephen R. Wilk

Medusa, the Gorgon, who turns those who gaze upon her to stone, is one of the most popular and enduring figures of Greek mythology. Long after many other figures from Greek myth have been forgotten, she continues to live in popular culture. In this fascinating study of the legend of Medusa, Stephen R. Wilk begins by refamiliarizing readers with the story through ancient authors and classical artwork, then looks at the interpretations that have been given of the meaning of the myth through the years. A new and original interpretation of the myth is offered, based upon astronomical phenomena. The use of the gorgoneion, the Face of the Gorgon, on shields and on roofing tiles is examined in light of parallels from around the world, and a unique interpretation of the reality behind the gorgoneion is suggested. Finally, the history of the Gorgon since classical times is explored, culminating in the modern use of Medusa as a symbol of Female Rage and Female Creativity.

Wise Child by Monica Furlong

Children’s fiction. In a remote Scottish village, nine-year-old Wise Child is taken in by Juniper, a healer and sorceress. Then Wise Child’s mother, Maeve, a black witch, reappears. In choosing between Maeve and Juniper, Wise Child discovers the extent of her supernatural powers—and her true loyalties.

Seasonal Changes, or the Reflections of an Appalachian Heathen

There’s a three-way crossroads in our woods, a path that forks at an oak tree. It’s one of my favorite spots on the property. Oak, while having much of its lore steeped in the masculine (i.e. being sacred to Thor, or the archetype of the Oak King), often recalls imagery of Hekate for me. There’s the great oak in her garden where the serpent guarded the Golden Fleece, put to sleep by the witch Medea with a juniper branch dripping with a brew of herbs like opium poppies. Later in the Argonautica, Jason glimpsed her after propitiating her with offering: “[…] and she heard him, the dread goddess, from the uttermost depths and came to the sacrifice; and ‘round her, horrible serpents twined themselves among the oak boughs; and there was a gleam of countless torches; and sharply howled around her the hounds of hell.” It’s a tree of duality.

As the sun set on Hallowmas, I left gifts by the tree for the Old Man of the Woods. Mulled wine, a pomegranate. A cake baked with apples, golden raisins, cranberries. Incense of copal, cedar, dragon’s blood. The ground was sprinkled with a blend of herbs from Daniel Schulke’s grimoire Viridarium Umbris – one to entice and feed spirits. A hag’s taper – a mullein stalk dipped in beeswax for necromantic rites – burned as a torch, a guide. A beacon that the landwights could flock toward.

Our livestock-dog-in-training was with me. When we were fit to walk back to the house, he began to whine. A couple of meters away, a large grey rabbit met his gaze. Being a puppy, he’ll chase anything that moves, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to catch him. He didn’t lunge at the rabbit, though. He whined and whined, yet sat unmoving. The rabbit was quickly wriggling its nose – the faster the wriggling, the more attentive or interested the rabbit.

Rabbits and hares have a long history in folklore and witchcraft. They’ve been thought to be witches in disguise – if a wound was inflicted on a hare suspected to be a witch, then the witch would show a matching injury. They’re also one of the common forms that a witch’s familiar would take. During a trial in 1644, witchfinder general Matthew Hopkins revealed one of the accused witch’s familiars (referred to as “imps”) to be a “black Rabbet” named Sacke & Sugar – the most vicious of them – who could “jump intoo your Throat and deposit a Feast of Lyve Toades in your Bellie”. A spying hare could also be the Old One himself, the Lord of Beasts in the guise of an animal.

Walking back to the house, we passed a stretch of the property called “Coyote Alley”. It’s the route nightly ran by the coyotes – you can hear them bark and yip from the house, a chorus sung to the Horned God of the Witches, the Man in Black; to the Queen of the Night, the Dark Mother. There are many a path to take in our wood; many an untamed creature to meet. It reminded me of the choices we all have to make during the dark half of the year, the paths of introspection that we’re forced to take when the Sun is gone. In the dark, we are confronted with the parts of ourselves that we may hate or hide. Along the way, we may encounter beasts or bane, but we learn. We grow. When the Sun returns, we emerge with a greater understanding of ourselves. Wiser. Tougher. More brave than before.

That is what I asked for. Above the Temple of Apollo at Delphi was inscribed the aphorism “Gnothi Seauton” (γνῶθι σεαυτόν): “Know Thyself”. I asked to learn more about myself, to gain wisdom and insight, to tear away the parts of myself that hinder; that do not serve me.

May the lessons you learn this season come with much ease.

Performance of Santa Inês/Dorper Lambs Fed with Live Yeast Concentrate-Juniper Publishers

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES

Abstract

Due to the development of the Brazilian sheep breeding, new alternatives for animal feeding, in order to increase gain and economic result of the production, were required. The present paper intends to evaluate the effect of the addition of live yeast concentrate (LYC) on Santa Inês/Dorper lambs diet, in the growth performance. For this purpose, 16 weaned lambs were used, divided in two groups (Yeast X Control) which received both the same feed and sanitary management, although the group yeast has received 2g of LYC/an.day. The effect of LYC was significant and positive for average daily gain (Yeast = 214.0g/day X Control = 194.8g/day).

Introduction

The market for sheep meat is growing in Brazil. It became necessary to determine the more appropriate technical management according to Brazilian's conditions. Feed efficiency is an important variable, is not enough simply select animals with higher weight gain: they must be as efficient as possible for feed consumption and performance

Nutrition is the main factor for good performance and cost production, so any strategies to increase the use of nutrients by animals is important [2]. One of the most used strategies is adding probiotics to animal's diet to improve live weight gain efficiency without altering carcass characteristics or jeopardizing human or animal health. However, the results are still very inconstant [3].

Among probiotics, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been showing to be a viable alternative to be used for ruminants. However, even with several published studies, little is known about the mechanism of action, since the effects are very inconstant and depend on the additive dosage and diet composition [4].

Tricarico review [3] reports increase in productivity (meat or milk) associated to the use of live yeast cells (LYC) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. According to Hopkins D & Newbold et al. [5,6] it happens because yeast stimulates the proliferation of total anaerobic bacteria, cellulolytic bacteria and lactateconsuming bacteria in the rumen, leading to changes in metabolism and improving digestive process of the diet's fibrous fraction.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its related species and strains are the most known and highly commercially used yeasts. However, little is known about its use on sheep's diet. Its use has become widespread among breeders but has been based on inferences on bovine data [7]. The goal for presenting this paper is helping to clarify these questions.

An experiment was performed using 16 weaned lambs, half blood SantaInes/Dorper, at Green lamb Farm ,Araruama County, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The weaning lambs were randomly divided into 2 groups of 8 animals each (T0- control and T1 - Yeast). The trial lasted five months, when the animals were confined getting the same sanitary and feed management (diet is described in Table 1). The T1 group animals received 2g daily of Biosaf® commercial product constituted by 10x109CFU/g live Saccharomyces cerevisiae strainSc47.Treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design with eight replication sand analyzed according to the model:

Where,

Yij =observation for animal receiving treatment i,

m =overall constant;

Ti =effect of treatment I,

eij =random error to each Observation

The animals were weighed weekly, in the morning. The facilities presented concentrate trough, manger, water trough and a sunbathing area. The average live weights of the animals, at the beginning of the experiment, was 17.8kg and 17.6kg for Yeast and Control group respectively.

Results and Discussion

Same letter do not differ statistically by Tukey test (p≤0.01).

Both live weight evolution and daily weight gain data are presented in Table 2. By analyzing them, it can be observed that the effect of using LYC was significant and positive with average daily gain of 261.5g versus 192.2g of the Control group.

The weight gain and final weight of Yeast group animals are similar to those found by Baungartner (2001) cited by Rosanova [8] & Barros [8,9] who found values of 214.0g/day and 182.4g/ day + 11.9g/day respectively. Castillo Estrada et al. [10] had tested 80 male sheep using 1.5 to 2.5g of LYC/an.day and found the average daily gain respectively 38.5% and 77.5% higher than Control group. Dawson's review [11] reported increased responses in average weight gain ranging from 8.7% to more than 20%.

Means followed by the same letterdo not differ by Wilcoxon test (p<0.05)

The results obtained at this present paper were, possibly, due to higher dry matter intake observed in Yeast group animals (3.38% LW) compared to Control group (2.64% LW). Similar data was observed by Furosho-Garcia [12]. Several authors [1317] have found higher values in dry matter degradation due to inclusion of LYC in ruminant's diets and this has been suggested as the factor that justifies the higher dry matter intake associated with the use of yeast.

The mechanism of the yeast action in ruminants is not quite clear Some studies suggested that the beneficial effect seems to be associated with the yeast presence which should stimulate both bacterial growth and cellulolytic activity, thus increasing ruminal fiber degradation, the flow of microbial protein to the small intestine and consequently animal production [6,15,17,18].

Although dry matter degradation has not been evaluated at the experiment, performance results obtained are consistent with those found by Carro & Fiems et al. [19,20] testing lambs fed with highly starch and soluble carbohydrates diets (HSSCD) compared to those fed with base diets and concluding that greater effect of yeast addition on ruminal pH and microbial growth and activity were experienced on group receiving HSSCD.

Santos et al. [21] emphasized that the beneficial effect of yeast occurs only with high soluble carbohydrates diets and highly digestible cell wall diets due to enhances on ruminal environment. However, several factors can affect animal performance response to supplementation with yeast, specially the presence of factors causing stress, desired production level, stage of animal development, type of forage, feeding strategy, roughage-to-concentrate ratio in the diet [22,23] and diet quality [24].

Neumann [25] found lower feed conversion for lambs fed with high concentrate diet and supplemented with 0.8g/day of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this case, the beneficial effects of yeast were not sufficient to prevent the occurrence of digestive disorders such as subclinical rumen acidosis. So, the author adds another variable to the previous list: yeast dose and viability.

When using roughage base diets the results are discordant. Some studies have shown increased microbial synthesis and in vitro degradability while others found no effect [26].

Conclusion

The use of 2g of live yeast concentrate with 10x109 provided better performance to 1/2 blood Santa Inês/Dorper lambs after weaning, and thus reducing the interval from birth to slaughter.

Air Pollutants and Their Possible Health Effects at Different Locations in Dhaka City

Authored by Mohammad Zahangeer Alam

Abstract

Air pollution is a major environmental risk. For many decades, air pollutants have increased dramatically in the city of Dhaka. Study of air pollutants in Dhaka, as well as other urban areas, is significantly important for the sustainable environment. The present research is focused on air pollutants and their possible health effects in the areas of Dhaka city. Different pollutants such as, volatile organic compounds (VOC, s), carbon monoxide (CO), relative humidity (RH), nitrogen oxide (NOx), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), sulfur dioxide(SO2), particulate matter (PM10), particulate matter (PM25), suspended particulate matter (SPM), and lead (Pb) were found to be at hazardous levels in this study area. The VOC was found to have a statistically positive correlation with CO, RH, NOx, H2S, CO2, PM10, PM25, SPM, and Pb (p<0.01;0. 012, CO, SO2, NOx, H2S, SPM, PM10, PM25, and Pb. These air pollutants have significantly increased from June 2016 to July 2017 at different locations in Dhaka. According to public perception and health physicians, air pollutants contribute to health concerns such as, eye irritation, headaches, damage to kidneys and central nervous system, skin cancer, cardio vascular diseases, nausea, asthma, and anemia. Regular monitoring of air quality parameters can be effective to protect inhabitants from various illnesses as well as significant help in providing a guideline for the development of a sustainable environment in the city dwellers of Dhaka.

Keywords: Pollutants; Dhaka; Health; Volatile; Air

Introduction

Pollutants are released into the air from their different sources Daly and Zannetti [1]. Acts have been generated throughout the world in an attempt to regulate these pollutants and keep them from reaching levels that are hazardous to humans Clean Air Act [2]. For instance, the European Commission has developed regulations for monitoring and reduction of air pollutant concentrations in the atmosphere Steven [5]. Several recognized methods are already being used to monitor the levels of SO2, NOx, particulate matter (PM), lead, and ozone (O3) Alvaro, et al. [4] there are usually about 200 air pollutants present in an urban environment. Most of these pollutants are quite hazardous and make it difficult to maintain a sustainable and healthy environment Steven [5]. The concentrations of each pollutant in the atmosphere depend on the emission rates of their sources Steven [5]. Levels of concentration of these pollutants in the atmosphere are also variable with time and location throughout the world Sicard, et al. [6].

The atmospheric chemistry is highly dependent on the living organisms in the biosphere Felix and Anne [7]. The composition of the earth’s atmosphere has been changed over time by human activities Arden, et al. [8]. Some of these fluctuations are harmful to human health, crops and ecosystems. While humans are the integral part of an ecosystem, the urban ecosystem is unpleasantly affected by increased several air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) Ajayi and Dosunmu, Abam and Unachukwu [9,10]. This air pollution can be observed as haze, smog and acid rain particularly in urban and industrialized cities Olajire, et al. [11]. The real detrimental effects can be seen in the health of people and the environment, for example, PM10 has increased morbidity and mortality rates due to cardiovascular and respiratory illness Lirong, et al. [12]. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause fatigue, headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness and even death Hopkins, et al. [13]. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide also impairs the immune system, increases asthma and chronic respiratory diseases, reduces lung function and increases cardiovascular disease Hopkins, et al. [13].

Air pollutants are classified based on the different human activities Olukayode [14]. These pollutants can be categorized as, motor traffic, industry, power plants and domestic fuel Lirong, Olukayode, Mathuros, et al. [15] Olukayode. Road traffic is identified as a major contributor to the air pollution due to the poor maintenance of vehicles, older cars, and two-stroke engine vehicles Enemeri [16] Ajayi and Dosunmu, Olukayode. Dhaka as well as the city of Lagos is a commercial hub, where many industries are located. These industries contribute significantly to air pollution because they emit smokes and gases of various magnitudes from their diesel powered engines. The unplanned growth of several mega cities, including Dhaka, causes housing and industrial locations to arise indiscriminately and haphazardly resulting in additional environmental hazards Dotun [17].

Trace gases in the atmosphere are found at low concentrations; even at this concentration, they can exert considerable influence on a range of environmental processes and health problems Seinfeld [18]. Understanding the interactions between gases is crucial to know their atmospheric concentrations, lifetimes and the environmental impacts. Ozone (O3), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) react with many other compounds such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) leading to changes in atmospheric composition Atkinson [19]. For well over a decade, attempts have been made to introduce an Ambient Quality Index (AQI) based on standard guidelines proposed by international organizations, such as the United States Environment Protection Agency (US-EPA), the European Union (EC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) [20]. For instance, Khanna [21] developed an AQI based on the welfare losses associated with damage from pollution exposure, while [22] introduced a procedure for evaluating the air quality at each monitoring site as well as the overall urban domain. Kyrkilis, et al. [23] proposed an aggregated air quality index in relation to potential health effects, while Cairncross, et al. [24] suggested a novel Air Pollution Index (API) system based on the relative risk and increased daily mortality associated with short-term exposure to common air pollutants. Kassomenos, et al. [25] compared a number of indices for assessing air quality in a medium-size city, as well as a set of bio meteorological indices taking into account the adverse health effects of air pollution, while Llop, et al. [26] proposed functional groups of epiphytic lichens as indicators of air quality in South Portugal Plaia and Ruggieri [27].

Air pollution is also influenced by road traffic Sicard, et al. [28]. For instance, South East France as well as Dhaka city is one of the region's most influenced by atmospheric pollution Plaia and Ruggieri. The population of the city of Dhaka has been increasing dramatically Khondkar Abdus Saleque [29]. This population has been facing obnoxious levels of hazardous air particles; As a result air and water are becoming threatened as well. Currently Dhaka ranks high amongst the world's major cities in terms of poor urban air quality substantially reducing air pollution could save up to 3,500 lives and avoid up to 230 million cases of respiratory disease annually in Bangladesh. In economic terms, this is equivalent to around US$ 500 million in savings due to reduced health care costs and increased productivity per annum The World Bank [48]. We studied air quality parameters at different locations in the mega city of Dhaka and their impacts on health for a sustainable livelihood for the residents. We identified Dhaka as highly polluted due to the large number of vehicles and one of the highest population densities in the world. It is the hypothesis that air pollutants can be reduced through the monitoring of air quality parameters regularly which will be helpful for the reduction of the impact on health.

Materials and Methods

Description of Study Areas

Dhaka is the most densely populated city in Bangladesh, with a density of 23,234 people per square kilometer. Currently, it is recognized as a mega city in comparing its population to other cities throughout the world. This city itself has a population estimated at about 8.5 million World Population Review [

]. Several of the air quality parameters were examined in 8 locations of Dhaka. These locations are Brick Fields in Savar, Dhaka cantonment, West rasulpur, Birulia at Savar, North DEPZ of Savar, South DEPZ of Savar, East DEPZ of Savar and West DEPZ of Savar. The Geographical Positioning System of Dhaka city is altitudes 23°42’37.44”N and longitude 90°24'26.78" E. The study area on a Bangladesh map and locations for the detection of air quality parameters are highlighted in

Figures 1

respectively.

Inception Meeting

An inception meeting was arranged at the office of the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) in Dhaka that lasted for 3 days. This meeting was conducted with government officials, residents, visitors, health physicians, scientists, and many other people who have been living in this city for a long time. This meeting was conducted to discuss air pollutants and their possible health effects in Dhaka. During this meeting, participants contributed their unique perspectives regarding air quality in Dhaka and their own health effects. Through this meeting, major areas of pollution were identified among the different locations in Dhaka.

Public Perception

Based on the inception meeting, we have collected data regarding the effects of pollutants on human health in Dhaka. This information was gathered from different locations in the city of Dhaka. Collected data were noted from the perceptions of the general public including health physicians. Each group consisted of 18-20 people. The people who were interviewed were 40-50 years old and their level of education was from secondary to graduate level. Everyone was in agreement that the health hazards have been increasing tremendously over more than a decade due to the deterioration of air quality in the urban environment.

Toxic Gases

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Carbon mono oxide (CO), oxygen (O2), percentages of relative humidity, sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) were measured using a real time monitoring system of a toxic gas measuring instrument with PID, NDIR and electrochemical sensors (Direct Sense Advanced Environmental Instrumentation, Grey Wolf Sensing Solutions, USA).

Air Particles

PM25, PM , and SPM were measured through real time monitoring with Casella Micro Dust Pro CEL-712 according to ISO 12103-1 and also the gravimetric method followed by filter sampling. Air dust particles were collected by a low volume air sampler on previously weighted PM2.5, PM10 and repairable filter by microbalance with a minimum resolution of 0.001 mg.

Air Sampling for Monitoring of Lead (Pb)

The Pb in the air sample was determined according to the NIOSH 7105 standard test method [31]. A dust sampling starter kit including filter paper, sampling head, flow meter, air sampling pump and other accessories were used for the analysis of Pb in air samples. First air samples were collected in Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE) Filters (Diameter: 25mm, Pore Size: 0.8 μim) using a Casella APEX air sampling pump. MCE membrane filters are readily soluble and one of the most widely used filters for atomic absorption analysis. Sampling was done at an accurately known flow rate 3.5 L/Min up to 8 h for a total sample size of 1 to 1500 L.

Laboratory Analysis

The filter paper was kept in a filter holder and transferred into a clean beaker. The 3 mL concentrated HNO3 and 1 mL 30% H2O2 was added and covered with a watch glass. The sample was heated on hotplate at 140° C until volume was reduced to about 0.5 mL. The beaker was cooled down and the watch glass and walls of the beaker were rinsed with 5% HNO3. The solution was quantitatively transferred to a 10-mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume with ultra-pure water. Then the sample was taken into a Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (Shimadzu -7000A) for the analysis of lead (Pb).

Statistical Analysis

Significant levels of correlation between air pollutants were analyzed for the validation of data using R Software, version 3.2.2 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). Coefficient trends were analyzed for the increasing of air pollutants in Dhaka city using R software version 3.2.2 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria).

Results

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)

The VOC was found to have a statistically positive correlation with carbon monoxide (CO), relative humidity (RH), nitrogen Oxide (NOx), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), particulate matter (PM10), particulate matter (PM25) and lead (Pb) (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<<p≤0.1) at different locations in Dhaka city during August,2016 (Table 1). Similarly, this VOC was found positively correlated with carbon dioxide (CO2), NOx, H2S, suspended particulate matter (SPM), PM10, PM 25, and Pb (p<0.01; 0.01Table 2). In April, 2017 VOC was found significantly correlated with CO2, H2S, PM25, and Pb (Table 3). Since 2016, VOC was significantly increased at Savar Brick Fields, Dhaka cantonment, West rasulpur, Birulia, North DEPZ, South DEPZ, East DEPZ, and West DEPZ areas (p<0.01; 0.01Table 4). According to the public perception, VOC is highly responsible for the development of different health hazards such as eye irritation, headaches, coordination loss, damage to kidneys, liver and the central nervous system (neo-natal), skin cancer (human and animal), and skin allergies. These opinions were also validated through the discussion with a health physician (Tables 5 & 6).

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Carbon dioxide (CO2) was significantly correlated with relative humidity at different locations in Dhaka city during August, 2016 (Table 1). Positive correlations were found between CO2 and CO, SO2, NOx, H2S, SPM, PM10, PM25, and Pb during December, 2016 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<p≤0.1) (Table 2). This toxic gas was also significantly correlated with RH, SPM, PM2.5, and Pb in April, 2017 (0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<p≤0.1). CO2 was increased significantly at Savar Brick Fields, Dhaka cantonment, West rasulpur, and West DEPZ areas from 2016 to 2017 (0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<p≤0.1). According to the public perception, increased CO2 is accountable for the increase of several health problems such as cardio vascular diseases, impaired blood circulation, equilibrium concentration of oxygen in blood reducing hemoglobin, and damage to the nervous system. These results show an increase in the number of people experiencing dizziness and concentration problems within these communities.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Carbon monoxide (CO) was found to have a positive relationship with SO2, NOx, H2S, SPM, PM10, and PM 25 during August, 2016 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<p≤0.1). This gas was also significantly correlated with SO2, NOx, H2S, SPM, PM10, PM25, and Pb during December, 2016 (p<0.01). In April 2017, CO was positively correlated with SO2, NOx, H2S, and PM25 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<p≤0.1). These air pollutants were significantly increased in different locations in Dhaka city such as, Savar Brick Fields, Dhaka cantonment, Birulia, North DEPZ, South DEPZ, East DEPZ, and West DEPZ areas from July 2016 to June 2017. Oxygen carrying capacity is reduced significantly due to the increase of this toxic gas in the atmosphere which is similar to the health physician's perception.

Oxygen (O2)

Significant relationships were found between O2, SO2 and NOx in August 2016 (p<0.01). This relationship was not correlated, however, in December 2016 and April 2017. This O2 was found increased in West rasulpur, Birulia, and South DEPZ from 2016 to 2017 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<p≤0.1). High flow of this gas causes death.

Relative Humidity (RH)

The RH was slightly correlated with, NOx, H2S, and PM10 gases during August 2016 (0.05<p≤0.1). This parameter was also correlated with H2S, SPM, and PM2.5 during December,

2016 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05). In April 2017, it was positively correlated with PM25 gases (0.01

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

This gas was positively correlated with NOx, H2S, SPM, PM10, and PM2.5 during August 2016. This relationship was also found to be significantly correlated in December 2017 (p<0.01; 0.01Tables 1 & .png">2). The SO2 was found to have a highly significant relationship with H2S and PM2.5 in April 2017 (p<0.01) (Table 3). This toxic gas also significantly increased from 2016 to 2017 (p<0.01; 0.01Table 4).

Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)

Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) was positively correlated with H2S, PM10, PM2.5, and Pb during August, 2016 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05) (Table 1). This gas was also significantly correlated with H2S, SPM, PM10, PM2 5, and Pb in December 2016 (p<0.01; 0.05<p≤0.1) (Table 2). Similarly, NOx was found significantly correlated with H2S, and PM2.5 in April 2017 (0.01#Xp≤0.05) (Table 3). This toxic gas also significantly increased in all study locations of Dhaka from 2016 to 2017 (0.01<p≤0.05) (Table 4). According to the health physician, a lung disorder could be developed due to high increases of this gas in the atmosphere which is similar to the public perception (Tables 5 & 6).

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) was found positively correlated with PM10, PM25, and Pb in August 2016 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05) (Table 1). This gas was also found in positive relationship with SPM, PM10, PM2 5, and Pb during December 2016 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05) (Table 2). Only PM2 5 was found to have a significant relationship with H2S in April 2017 (p<0.01) (Table 3). This gas has been significantly increased in Savar Brick Fields, West rasulpur, Birulia, North DEPZ, and West DEPZ areas of Dhaka from 2016

2017 (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<p≤0.1) (Table 4). This gas is responsible for the development of a bad odor, as well as nausea, throat irritation, and bacterial infection among the people in these communities (Tables 5 & 6).

Particulate Matter and Lead (Pb)

Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) was positively correlated with PM2.5; PM10 was found to have a positive correlation with PM2 5 and Pb (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05; 0.05<p≤0.1) (Table 1). Similarly, SPM was also found significantly correlated with PM10, PM25 and Pb. Also, PM10 was significantly correlated with PM25 and Pb (p<0.01; 0.01<p≤0.05) (Table 2). Particulate Matter and Pb both were significantly increased from 2016 to 2017 at different locations in Dhaka (Table 4). Bronchitis, chronic cough, respiratory disease, asthma, anemia, and skin cancer is increased due to high increases of PM and Pb in the atmosphere according to public health and physicians (Tables 5 & 6).

Discussion

Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health throughout the world. Deferent air pollutants such as, VOC, CO2, CO, O2, SO2, NOx, H2S, SPM, PM10, PM25, and Pb are significantly correlated between each other. Some of these are positively correlated with each other in the atmosphere (Tables 1-3). Most of these air quality parameters have been significantly increased at different locations in Dhaka (Table 4). Similarly, air pollutants have been escalated in developed and developing countries due to the increasing population density and unplanned urbanization for many years World Health Organization [WHO] [14]. The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that in developing countries, increasing air pollutants has resulted in more than 2 million deaths per annum along with various respiratory illnesses Cities Alliance [32]. It is reported that over 70-80% of air pollution in mega cities in developing nations is attributed to vehicular emissions caused by a large number of older vehicles coupled with poor vehicle maintenance, inadequate road infrastructure and low fuel quality Wang, et al. [33].

Dhaka’s growth has increased over the last several decades. Due to the unplanned urbanization, air pollutant parameters have been escalated in these areas. Similarly, research was conducted on 20 urban hot spots in 20 European cities and it was found that air pollutants have exceeded the urban background concentrations due to an increase in traffic volume Moussiopoulos, et al. [34]. Also, motorized road transport in UK has been categorized as one of the largest single pollution sources in 92% of declared air quality management areas (AQMAs) which accounts for 33% emissions of NOx and 21% of PM10 Faulkner and Russell [35]. Similarly, NOx and PM10 both are significantly increasing in Dhaka city area (Table 4) as well as in North American megacities like, Los Angeles, New York, and Mexico City U.S. EPA [36]. In New South Wales (NSW) Australia, road transport is the single largest source of NOx emissions that contributes more than 71% of total emissions US EPA [37].

In the Asian subcontinent, some developed countries, for instance, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong, are facing street- level air pollution problems due to an increase in the number of motorized transport Edesess,. In developing countries, mega cities are facing acute problems due to an increase in the ambient PM and NO2 concentrations as a result of rapid urbanization. In Shanghai, New Delhi, Mumbai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Calcutta, Beijing, and Bangkok the ambient PM and NO2 concentrations frequently violate WHO guidelines Baldasano, et al. [38]. Chan and Yao [39] have reported that ambient concentrations of PM10 and SO2 in the Chinese cities of Shanghai and Pearl River Delta are four to six times higher than concentrations observed in any of the cities in developed countries. One of the studies carried out recently has found that the annual average PM10 concentrations in Asian cities are four times higher than WHO guidelines Atash [40]. Air pollutants have been significantly increased at different locations in Dhaka also in comparison with other cities throughout the world.

Air pollutants are a major environmental health problem. The studied air pollutants such as, VOC, CO2, CO, SO2, NOx, H2S, SPM, PM10, PM2.5, and Pb are responsible for the development of various health hazards in communities (Tables 5 & 6). Yelda and Mustafa [41] report that sulfur dioxide (SO2), particle substances (PM), and nitrogen oxides (NOX) in the air can create negative effects on the environment and human health. This air pollution is the result of human activities. This pollution damages the natural processes in the atmosphere, and negatively affects public health. Currently, several cities in Africa are recognized as having unsustainable levels of pollutants negatively affecting their air quality. Yelda and Mustafa was found that until the 1980s, 1.3 billion people lived in cities where pollution was above the air quality standards Yelda and Mustafa. According to the WHO about 98% of cities in low- and middle income countries with more than 100000 inhabitants do not meet standard air quality parameters. Dhaka is also included in cities whose pollution has a negative effect on the residents. However, this percentage decreases to 56% in high income countries.

Air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ozone (O3), heavy metals, and particulate matter (PM25 and PM10), differ in their chemical composition, reaction properties, emission, time of disintegration and ability to diffuse in long or short distances. These air pollutants have both acute and chronic effects on human health, affecting a number of different systems and organs. It ranges from minor upper respiratory irritation to chronic respiratory and heart disease, lung cancer, acute respiratory infections in children and chronic bronchitis in adults, aggravating pre-existing heart and lung disease, or asthmatic attacks WHO. In addition, short- and long-term exposures have also been linked with premature mortality and reduced life expectancy Marilena and Elias [42]. A similar result was also found from this study in Dhaka through the discussion with a health physician and public perception (Tables 5 & 6). Urban people are usually exposed to the particulates in air through their regular activities. In general human activities also largely cause an increase in air pollutants in urban areas. In this situation, people exposed to toxic air pollutants at sufficient concentrations and durations may have an increased chance of getting cancer or experiencing other serious health effects.

These health effects can include damage to the immune system, as well as neurological, reproductive (e.g., reduced fertility), developmental, respiratory and other health problems EPA [43]. Not only human, some toxic air pollutants such as lead (Pb) can deposit onto soils or surface waters, where they are taken up by plants and ingested by animals and are eventually magnified up through the food chain. Like humans, animals may experience health problems if exposed to sufficient quantities of air toxins over time EPA [43]. Similarly, Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs [44] reported that air pollution levels are unlikely to have serious short term effects. However, elevated levels and/or long term exposure to air pollution can lead to more serious symptoms and conditions affecting human health. This mainly affects the respiratory and inflammatory systems, but can also lead to more serious conditions such as heart disease and cancer. People with lung or heart conditions may be more susceptible to the effects of air pollution. In the city of Dhaka people have been suffering from various health diseases due to the significant effect of air pollution as well (Tables 5 & 6). It is concluded that urban people should show concern regarding air pollution and its effects on health including maintaining a sustainable environment.

Causes of Air Pollution in Dhaka City

Air pollution is the introduction of harmful substances in the air that have detrimental impacts to the environment and humanity. It occurs when harmful substances such as foreign gases, odor, dust, or fumes are present in the air that can be harmful to human beings. Several causes have been identified for air pollution in Dhaka.

Population Density

Dhaka is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with an estimated population of more than 8 million. Air pollution has emerged as an acute problem in the city of Dhaka. There is a significant relationship between population and pollution in different regions. For example, a European city of 1 million people is exposed to six times higher nitrogen dioxide pollution than a city of 1 million people in India Smith [45]. Different regions showed a wide range of nitrogen dioxide surface concentrations in urban areas of around 1 million people. Europe was ranked highest at over 1.3 parts per billion, while India's 1-million population cities came in at just over 0.2 parts per billion. For cities with population of 10 million people, the results were similar: 3.9 parts per billion in Europe versus 0.5 parts per billion in India. Air pollution has been a major issue in China as well as Dhaka city Smith, WHO [46].

Unplanned Industrialization and Urbanization

Unplanned urbanization and industrialization is a common scenario in the city of Dhaka. This city is expanding towards the periphery without consideration of environmental degradation. This is one of the major causes of increasing pollution levels of the air in Dhaka. With the current rate of industrialization and increased manufacturing activities in Dhaka city, high levels of smoke, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, organic compounds, and carbon monoxide are released into the air. The air has become increasingly unhealthy in Dhaka. Higher amounts of harmful particles have been found in the air of the city of Dhaka. Bangladesh is the fourth, among 91 countries with the worst urban air quality in its recent air pollution monitoring report WHO, 2016. Almost 90 per cent of the people living in these cities were being exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution. Unplanned industrialization and urbanization can be identified as factors that are responsible for increases in air pollutants in Dhaka Haque [47].

Traffic Pressure

A high number of motorized vehicles are clogging up roads and contributing further to poor air quality. Besides the large number of cars, the ever-present conflict between motorized and non-motorized transport such as rickshaws means urban traffic is often brought to a standstill for long periods of time resulting in not only health and environmental damage but huge economic losses due to lost time The World Bank, [48]. These groups of people have been suffering in an unhealthy environment due to traffic pressure in Dhaka. The daily total emissions of NOx, HC, CO, PM, and SOx are estimated using the daily fuel consumption and total traffic flows in Dhaka. Estimated daily emissions are 42, 39, 314, 14, and 42 t for NOx, HC, CO, PM, and SOx, respectively Karim, et al. [49].

Brick Fields

In Bangladesh, the brick kiln industry is one of the fastest- growing sectors, supporting the booming infrastructure and construction industry, with current manufacturing capacity of 12 billion bricks a year from 4,500 brick kilns surrounding all major cities of Dhaka, Khulna, Rajshahi, and Chittagong, and expected to grow 50% by 2020 World Bank 2007 [50]; UNDP 2011 [51]. The total emissions are estimated at 23,300 t of PM25, 15500 t of sulfur dioxide (SO2), 302,000 t of carbon monoxide (CO), 6000 t of black carbon, and 1.8 million t of CO2 from these clusters, to produce 3.5 billion bricks per year, using a fixed chimney bull trench kiln technology that is not energy efficient and predominantly using coal and agricultural waste as fuel. The associated health impacts largely fall on the densely populated districts of Dhaka Metropolitan Area (DMA) Sarath, et al. [52].

Climate Changes

Atmospheric warming associated with climate change has the potential to increase ground- level ozone in many regions, which may present challenges for compliance with the ozone standards in the future. Emissions of pollutants into the air can result in changes to the climate. Ozone in the atmosphere warms the climate, while different components of particulate matter (PM) can have either warming or cooling effects on the climate. For example, black carbon, a particulate pollutant from combustion, contributes to the warming of the Earth, while particulate sulfates cool the earth’s atmosphere (US Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA] [43]. Due to the changes of climatic parameters, air quality in Dhaka has been changing for many decades Bilkis, et al. [53-57].

Conclusion

Air pollutants are increasing in the Mega city of Dhaka in Bangladesh. This is an awful threat for the sustainable living of human beings in this city. People have been facing various diseases due to the increase of toxic air pollutants. Air pollutants such as, volatile organic compound (VOC), carbon dioxide(CO2), carbon monoxide(CO), oxygen (O2), sulfur dioxide(SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), suspended particulate matter(SPM), particulate matter(PM10), and particulate matter (PM2.5) have increased significantly in Dhaka. Due to the increasing levels that exceed the standard limits of each pollutant, different health concerns have developed among the community people in this city. In this manner, rate of mortality has been increasing also. As a result, research on air quality parameters and their impacts on human health are absolutely important. It is expected that the monitoring of air quality parameters regularly and discovering their impacts on a sustainable environment will provide standard guidelines for the improvement of urbanization in relation to the sustainable livelihood.

A post no one asked for: My OCs and their sleeping quirks

Minnie mumbles in her sleep, mostly in Korean. Doesn’t matter if she’s having a dream or not she’ll just...ramble.

Alejandro will wrap all his limbs around his s/o like a fucking sloth on a tree. The dude’s a long boy and doesn’t even know he’s doing it. Sloth gang rise up.

Marco snores kind of, but it’s not loud nor is it disruptive. He actually kind of sounds like a purring cat.

Benny kind of whimpers sometimes, like a dog chasing something in his dream mostly. But if it’s a sad whimper you know he’s having a bad dream and it’s best to wake him before he starts crying.

Casimir always likes to be the little spoon. Doesn’t matter how tall his s/o is. Backpack baby. He’s also very quiet and his chest barely moves so sometimes it’s hard to tell if he’s alive.

Brady sleeps on his back completely straight like a sociopath.

Lisa’s very prim and proper, wears hair curlers to bed and shit. Mostly sleeps on her stomach though, fucking weirdo.

Maxine likes to hold hands, okay. She’s a big ass baby and likes to know her s/o is there.

Rayne absolutely loves sleeping on her s/o’s chest or curled up clinging to them behind like a backpack. Lets her nuzzle into the neck for warmth. She is also very, very quiet in her sleep. Corpse ass.

Bianca sleeps with one of those night blindfold thingies on that just says “puta” on it. So whoever wakes her up gets a nice insult.

Corbin likes to listen to some noise whenever he sleeps, no matter how subtle it may be. Sometimes he likes to fall asleep to his s/o talking or reading to him. Soothing.

Phoenix doesn’t actually ever settle down to sleep she just kinda.......passes out on the spot. Can’t stop won’t stop.

Niklas physically cannot sleep unless he has his boyfriends in bed with him. It doesn’t feel right unless he has his muscle bfs. 

Stan can sleep whenever he wants to but it’s mostly in calls with Josh if he isn’t in the dorm room with him. If Josh is there, he flops over him.

Juniper LOVES having her s/o sleep on her chest. She’s fucking strong and believe it or not, her chest is actually REALLY soft. Also, her butt is a good pillow too if you wanna sleep and she’s still awake.

Simon rolls around a lot in his sleep if he’s in a bed alone. Can’t ever find a good place to get comfy. If he’s with someone, though, his movement is limited so he just kinda shuffles a lot.
