Finished recently: CHLORINE by Jade Song. A teen competitive swimmer suffers through sexual maturity, being controlled by the adults around her, & is convinced she's a mermaid.

It's got body horror & some sexual bits, including some grooming adults. It's hard to decide if she's going insane, reclaiming her body/identity from the adults around her, or both. Queer themes abound. A memorable debut novel.

AAAS: "Organic effects" The Australian wildfires of 2019–2020 perturbed the chlorine chemistry of the stratosphere and destroyed ozone. They injected about one teragram [tera adds 12 zeroes, so in short tons this represented over a million tons or more precisely 1,102,311 short tons] of aerosols up past the troposphere into the stratosphere, including chlorine. Serious ozone decreases occurred in the lower stratosphere from chlorine [symbol Cl] molecules such as HCl and ClONO2. The ozone layer is critical to life on Earth, blocking about 97% of the ultraviolet from the Sun. The researchers "found that these reactions can occur at much higher temperatures than they do in the Antarctic polar vortex and suggest that chlorine processes on organic aerosols likely should be included in stratospheric ozone simulations." Decreased ozone increases the risk of corneal + retinal damage + skin cancers, but also increases the pace of climate change.

Our Tabby cat LOVES chlorine. The smell drives her crazy. Apparently this is not unusual, as it triggers a hormonal response 🙀

systems installed in two in a hospital were supposed to make the water taste and smell better for patients on a surgery floor—but it ended up killing three of them.

Platte des Tages bei mir heute die Berliner Band mit ihrem wunderbaren Album . Kam 2018 raus und ist das erste Album, dass ich jemals gesehen habe, das mit der Stadt entstanden ist. Das ist ja hierzulande eher unüblich, dass Plattenproduktionen - noch dazu von Indiebands - gefördert werden. In Kanada und Australien hat das einen ganz anderen Stellenwert.

“In , where most is now made, the 1st step usually involves making using , another toxic chemical. The mercury ‘is released into the atmosphere and distributed globally,’ says Jim Vallette, pres of Material Research L3C…. ‘It comes out in the rain over the US & the rest of the world.’” Bottom line: “ products are dangerous to make, both for workers & communities nearby.”

> the Chlorine Chemistry Council (CCC)
> It’s Only Natural
> The CCC, and its allies, has invested a lot in spreading confusion. One of their favorite canards is that chlorine is a "natural" compound. Proposals to phase out chlorine are thus irrational attempts to "wipe an element off the periodic table." (Lead is also an element on the periodic table, but we've phased it out of gasoline, paint, and other uses.)
