Do your Research Before Buying a PM 2.5 Pollution Mask




With development comes pollution, and though we love the benefits of a driven and vibrant economy no one likes the side effects a major example of which is air pollution. PM 2.5 refers to particulate matter, tiny little pieces of material, below 2.5 microns across which is danger size for your lungs.   Particulate matter above 2.5 microns in diameter is still dangerous, but less so according to scientists.  These particles are so small that thousands of them will hide in this full stop.

 Particles this small will travel deep into your lungs because the body has no defence against particles this tiny.  One of your best options is the stay indoors, although even indoor levels may be high if the levels outside are high.  If you smoke cigarettes or use candles or cook with oil, then these activities will contribute to this PM 2.5 pollution.  The particulate matter is about 30 times thinner than a human hair and mostly originates from car exhaust in a city environment.


Bangkok, the thriving capital of Thailand has been in the news for this reason recently, and Thai people are becoming a lot more serious about their health in terms of pollution in the air they breathe.  Thre is a clear solution, of course, something I have personally avoided as it seems like a cultural copout as I point out here.  LINK   This easy and obvious solution is a breathing mask.

 However, as you may already know, there are difficulties associated with wearing these masks especially in terms of this PM 2.5 size designation.  Firstly, for those of you who remember the Swine Flu and Bird Flu scares or recent years, it became common knowledge that the masks commonly sold on every street corner had no effect whatsoever in dealing with threats as small as a virus.  In fact, wearing a poorly rated mask for pathogen dangers can inherently increase your risk, as the mask material weaving is likely to prevent viruses escaping and therefore increase your probability of becoming ill


Smoke is PM 2.5 or lower, as are most dangerous fumes.  Dust is generally higher than PM 2.5.  A quick bout of research will show you that most pollution masks on the market today are rated at Pm 3.0 or above so it is very important that you do some research before spending your money.  The links here will take you to masks rated for PM 2.5 and below.


Don't risk your health or that of your family by investing in the wrong pollution masks.  Do your research in order to ensure that you have the correct protection to entrust your health to manufacturers who really care about your future.

Why did it all go wrong, Tom Hardy?

In the second part of this expose on the faltering careers of past acting greats we focus on one who many may argue is not yet a great at all, but still yet to achieve such heights.  Well, a dip it may be, and maybe less serious even than Denzel's recent form ( see here ) but one has to admit that going on previous works, Tom Hardy's career has certainly seemed to hit a low point lately. Mr Hardy's break-through role must surely be the third and final Christopher Nolan Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises in which he played a small human-sized version, minus the drug craze and addiction, of Bane.  In this film, he certainly presented his acting chops to the universe and also cemented his reputation as a man not afraid to beef up for a role.  After star turns in such as Star Trek Nemesis, as well as the excellent Steven Spielberg TV show Band of Brothers one would be expected to assume Tom was headed for the very top. What can we say about the awful and pointles...

Check here for the Walking Dead Reboot Update news. SEE HERE FOR THE STORY DETAILS.  Currently, this story is classed as Just A Rumour. BUY WALKING DEAD MERCHANDISE FROM EBAY 22:37 4-3-18 As it stands currently, the story that Fox was planning to remake The Walking Dead with big-name stars in the main roles and famous directors attached to each and every one-hour episode has turned out to be reliable.  A google search has revealed mostly hits to alternative news sites and a few really far out blogs only.  11:08 5-3-18 Still no confirmations on the story.  Right now the stars mentioned are scheduled to be involved with other projects, so unless it's a big secret we have to conclude the story is false.

Don't Forget Your Staging

Kerbal Space Program is the best game for children or adults.  This is a simple fact.  There can be no dispute.  Developed by Squad, a software company based in Mexico City and famous previously for pretty much nothing as they seem to have been spending day and night on this awesome magnum opus. So with setup and mode pushed aside, when you, or your inquisitive child, with a brain all ready to soak up inspiration and creativity and gosh darn it even rocket science, you will initially see this screen for building your works of genius.  This is the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and this is where your first mishaps will surely take place.   Note how easily the components simply stack together, like internet-age stickle bricks.  This means that building a rocket - or what neither looks nor functions like any kind of space vehicle - easy and fun and hardly ever frustrating.  While this game starts perfectly simply, the learning curve i...
