The world has suffered for decades from the #AngloSaxon #AgathaChristie psychopath poisoning operations.
- That is why it is good for everyone that the #satanic forces are vaporized, asap.

Engineering a City #thread
Having spent my entire childhood in #Kochi (#Cochin ), it feels criminal to not know the story of how the city came to be the #metropolis it is today. Putting together a thread to trace the journey of the city which has been so endearingly mine (1)
Part 1: The #Malabar Mud-Banks
The story of Cochin is not just about how an engineering marvel can change social fabric, but also of many tenets of #British #Colonialism in India which is often taken for granted, passed off lazily as exploitation, missing nuance (2)
As with any coastal town, the cultural and economic history of Kochi is intertwined with maritime trade routes since the time of the Early Romans and Arabs. Thanks to the #biennale , most of us would now be familiar with the term #Muzuris (3)

#HematologyTweetstory 26 - a short thread on arsenic and leukemia. Take a look at this graph, depicting the blood counts of a patient with leukemia. I took this picture from an old book on my shelf. Looks like successful cytoreduction, eh? Now look at the date on the top: 1890-1! ImageImage
This graph was prepared by Dr William Osler, describing a patient he saw shortly after he took up his position at the new Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The drug Osler used: #arsenic. The case is in the 1892 edition of his textbook "The Principles and Practice of Medicine." ImageImage
Osler's patient probably had chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), given prolonged survival in 1890 with a WBC ranging between 170,000-600,000/mm^3. Arsenic had been in use for CML since a report of successful palliative treatment of two cases by Abraham Lissauer from Danzig in 1865. Image

Un scientifique change d’avis si les faits lui donnent tort .... quel que soit son statut

Petite histoire personnelle : allez je vous la fais courte.

Il y a une dizaine d'année, j'étudiais encore et encore le #cuivre en biocides et #pesticides
Outre le fait que pour dériver une DJA et une AOEL sur un oligo-élément, tout allait bien. Juste un petit questionnement sur le passage cutané et l'évitement du premier passage par le foie, mais le #cuivre, élément métallique, n'est pas sensé pénétrer facilement la peau.
Autre questionnement, les impuretés pourries #plomb, #cadmium, #arsenic, #nickel mais en quantité faible donc a priori pas de soucis.

Misconceptions re modern #gold #mining stem from historical mining practices that were not good enough. We agree mines 100-150 years ago were not properly managed, like most human activities back then. But historical sites have nothing to do with modern mining.

Most industries have unfortunate legacy issues. Govs have paid to clean up sites like the Sydney tar ponds, Amherst Aerospace and Trenton's Tibbetts Paints. Mining also has legacy issues but they date from another era. We take proper care of the environment today.

Modern mining is a sophisticated, science-based activity that takes proper care of the environment. Some people have questions about how we manage the environment, so below is information on some of the questions commonly raised.

@Guysboro #Reclamation - Before getting operating permits, #NovaScotia #mining companies must get government approval of reclamation plans and post reclamation bonds that ensure funds are available to properly take care of sites.

@Guysboro Water Management: Mine operators are required to treat, strictly monitor and test water, and report to @nsgov. Water is usually recycled on-site. Water released back into a river or lake is usually cleaner after it has been used in a mine or quarry than it was beforehand.

Standards weren't good enough 100 years ago for mining or anything else. But that's not how we operate now.

#Cuivre épisode 2 c'est parti.
Rappel du premier épisode : threadreaderapp.com/thread/1116041… après un peu de chimie et de #reglementation on va rentrer dans le vif du sujet #toxicologie.
D’ailleurs, je m’aperçois que je suis allé un peu vite dans ma démarche.
Petit rappel sur l’évaluation des risques :
Préliminaire, différence entre dangers et risques, je la fais tout le temps celle là mais il faut bien comprendre. #danger : propriété intrinsèque d’une substance, #risque : probabilité d’être exposé à cette substance.
Donc risque = Danger x exposition.
Ceci étant dit : la démarche d’évaluation des risques :
1 – Identification des dangers (par les études, publications, etc…)
2 – Caractérisation du danger : dérivations des doses de références toxicologiques

Though I am really glad that #arsenic contamination of #groundwater in India, and specially #WestBengal is getting the attention it deserves, there is a major issue that needs wider discussion.
There is a simplistic argument that arsenic naturally occurs in the #Gangetic belt, the author uses the term “#geological curse”. If this is the case, why is heavy #arsenic contamination being reported from #Jharkhand and #Chattisgarh in Central India?
A possible answer to that may be traced to this MIT paper that was published in @NatureGeosci on #anthropogenic influence on #groundwater #arsenic contamination in #Bangladesh nature.com/articles/ngeo6…
