December 15, 2023The persistence of smoke VOCs indoors: Partitioning, surface cleaning, and air cleaning in a smoke-contaminated house | Science Advances

QT:{{”
These rates imply that vapor pressure controls partitioning behavior and that house ventilation plays a minor role in removing smoke VOCs. However, surface cleaning activities (vacuuming, mopping, and dusting) physically removed surface reservoirs and thus reduced indoor smoke VOC concentrations more effectively than portable air cleaners and more persistently than window opening.

Thought the recent @ScienceMagazine podcast about the asteroid deflection mission dealt well with the effect of science on
sci-fiction and *vice-versa*. Wonder if this interplay happens in other scientific contexts?
Chewing burns more calories than you think—and may have shaped our evolution | Science | AAAS
August 28, 2022https://www.science.org/content/article/chewing-burns-more-calories-you-think-and-may-have-shaped-our-evolution Great article! Wondered about the implications of chewing for weight loss: Perhaps humans so readily “overeat” because they don’t have to spend so much time chewing.
A common sunscreen ingredient turns toxic in the sea — anemones suggest why
June 4, 2022One wonders if this can happen with oxybenzone sunscreen on people too. Perhaps a good reason to favor TiO2 or ZnO sunscreens.
