So happy to be part of the AQUA community. Our first committee meeting of the year today, and plenty of good things coming up this year. It's really wonderful to serve on a committee that cares so much about DEI and supporting ECRs. If you're in #Australasia and into #Quaternary things, join us! https://aqua.org.au/

According to #ourworldindata #coal comprised 40.5% of total #energy production in #Cambodia in 2019. That same year, according to #StateofGlobalAir upper-bound #PM25 levels exceeded upper-bound levels in #Australasia by 307%. W/#Chinese-backed investment the Huadian Preah Sihanouk coal-fired pwr plant went online December 2022 couched in this company comment, 'it is the coal-fired pwr plant with...the highest #environmental protection level in Cambodia.' Really?

Here is some of the latest #PM25 data profile for #Vietnam published by #StateofGlobalAir,
1. UCL PM2.5 = 25 ug/m^3
2. UCL PM2.5-related xs deaths = 49000
3. UCL PM2.5 - 3.7% above #ASEAN levels, 213% above levels in W #Europe, 308% above levels in #Australasia, 324% above #NorthAmerican levels. #badAQIkills

Here's look at the latest #PM25 dataset for #Thailand from #StateofGlobalAir,
1. UCL PM2.5 = 31.7 ug/m^3
2. UCL PM2.5-related xs deaths = 43400
3. UCL PM2.5 - 32% above #ASEAN levels, 271% above levels in W #Europe, 390% above levels in #Australasia, and 411% above #NorthAmerican levels. Along w/ #Cambodia and #Myanmar, Thailand has among the highest average yearly levels of #toxic #particulate #airpollution in #SoutheastAsia. #badAQIkills

The most recent #PM2.5 data for the #Philippines from #StateofGlobalAir,
1. UCL PM2.5 = 22 ug/m^3
2. UCL PM2.5-related xs deaths = 32000
3. UCL PM2.5 - 8.7% below #ASEAN levels, 88% above W #European levels, 271% above levels in #Australasia, 285% above levels in #NorthAmerica. Being an #island #nationstate similar to #Indonesia, #airpollution country-wide may not mirror levels in and around densely populated #urban centres plagued w/excess combustion sources.

Latest #PM25 data for #Myanmar from #StateofGlobalAir,
1. UCL PM2.5 = 34.6 ug/m^3
2. UCL PM2.5-related xs deaths = 24200
3.UCL PM2.5 - 43% above #ASEAN levels, 291% above levels in W #Europe, 426% above #Australasia levels, 448% above levels in #NorthAmerica. Important to note is that overall #environmental conditions in the country have been, (and are) consistently worsening since the #authoritarian take-over of its freely-elected #government. Myanmar = anti #SDG16

Most recent #StateofGlobalAir #PM25 data/information profile for #Malaysia,
1. UCL PM2.5 = 20.1 ug/m^3
2. UCL PM2.5-related xs deaths = 144000
3. UCL PM2.5 - 17% below #ASEAN levels, 172% above levels in W #Europe, 247% above levels in #Australasia, and 260% above #NorthAmerican levels. Again, crucial to note that country-wide PM levels likely do not mirror #urban #airpollutant levels. This occurrence may explain the seeming disconnect' w/excess mortality estimates.

Here's another #StateofGlobalAir summary looking at the most recent status of particulate #airpollution in #Indonesia,
1.Upper-bnd limit (UCL) of #PM25 = 23.7 ug/m^3
2.UCL PM2.5-related xs deaths = 138200
3.UCL PM2.5 - 1.69% below #ASEAN levels, 203% above levels in W #Europe, 292% above levels in #Australasia, and 307% above levels in #NorthAmerica. Important to note that country-wide #airpollutant levels in Indonesia are deceptively lower than in its #urban areas.

Do you know of any research conducted regarding historical instances of sign language or nonverbal communication between British-Australian travellers, missionaries, colonisers and Papuans in the L1800s, E1900s? If so, can you please make a recommendation- I'm looking for readings on this topic.
