Khí thải động cơ gây ung thư

Tổ chức Y tế thế giới (WHO) vừa cho biết khí thải từ động cơ diesel gây ra ung thư phổi và có thể gây ra các khối u trong bàng quang. 

Đây là kết luận được đưa ra sau khi chuyên gia của WHO nghiên cứu trên các công nhân có nguy cơ cao làm trong các ngành mỏ, đường sắt và lái xe.

Các chuyên gia của WHO khuyến cáo mọi người nên tránh hít phải khí thải động cơ diesel.
Cơ quan Nghiên cứu ung thư quốc tế (IARC) trước đó nhận định khí thải diesel có thể gây ung thư cho người. Đến nay, IARC chính thức xác nhận nghi ngờ này là đúng sự thật.

Tiến sĩ Christopher Portier, người đứng đầu nhóm nghiên cứu, cho biết dựa theo kết quả, loại khí thải này cần phải được giảm trên toàn cầu để tránh gây thiệt hại sức khỏe con người. 

Theo IARC, con người rất dễ hít phải khí thải từ động cơ diesel trong môi trường sống hằng ngày, từ các loại ôtô, động cơ khác như xe lửa, tàu thuyền hay các máy phát điện chạy bằng động cơ diesel.

How to Suppress the Gag Reflex

Whether it hits when you’re trying to brush your back molars or when the dentist is checking for cavities, the gag reflex can turn dental hygiene into an unpleasant situation. Cyberspace shares many different ideas on how to suppress this reflex, but there are several that stand out above the rest.

How to Avoid Victim Blaming

Victim blaming is an attitude that causes individuals to blame victims for bad things that happen to them. The victims of any crime or misfortune may be subjected to victim blaming, but the attitude is an especially common reaction to incidents of sexual assault and domestic violence. Victim blaming may be a defensive mechanism that people use to help themselves believe that the world is a safer place than it really is, but it can be extremely damaging to the victims, so it is important to become more self-aware and avoid holding victims responsible. Part 1 - Challenging Your Biases and Assumptions 1 → Accept that the world is not fair. Oftentimes, people want to believe that good things happen to good people, which can lead them to also believe that bad things only happen to bad people. It's important to recognize your tendency to rationalize suffering in this way and actively work to change it. → Try to change the way you think about all kinds of misfortune, not just cri...
