The article explores the connection between melting permafrost and heavy metals in mountain lakes. It explains that as permafrost melts and glaciers retreat, heavy metals can become more concentrated in streams and lakes, especially in areas with sulfide-containing bedrock. This is due to acid mine drainage, which lowers the pH of the water and causes heavy metals to dissolve. The article also presents a series of experiments that can be used in classrooms to demonstrate the effects of acid mine drainage on water quality. These experiments allow students to observe the pH changes and increased copper content in water samples exposed to pyrite. The experiments provide a hands-on learning experience for high school chemistry and environmental science classes. [Extracted from the article]

Background: The healthcare sector is responsible for 5.2% of CO2 emissions in Germany. The prescribing of medicines is a significant contributor. Among the prescribed medicines, metered dose inhalers (MDIs) play a decisive role due to the propellant gases they contain. A relevant reduction in emissions is possible by switching to dry powder inhalation systems (DPI). Aim: The guideline "Climate-conscious prescribing of inhalants" is intended to provide assistance in the prescribing of inhaled medicines by summarising the available evidence on the decision between DPI and MDI and explicitly addressing the aspect of climate damage caused by propellants. It addresses everyone involved in prescribing and counselling those affected. Materials and methods: The S2k guideline was drawn up under the joint leadership of DEGAM (German College of General Practitioners and Family Physicians) and the German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine (DGP) under moderation of the AWMF (Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany). The main contents from a practical perspective are presented in this paper. Results: Overall, MDIs account for a high proportion of inhaler prescriptions in Germany. The aspects of climate damage should be considered when prescribing MDIs. In order to facilitate implementation in practice, several decision aids were developed. Conclusion: The guideline is the first to address the importance of prescribing a group of medicines in relation to climate change. The degree of implementation of the guideline recommendations can be determined by future analyses of prescription data. A planned practical test is required to check the acceptance of the decision aids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

James Bridle (they/them), renommierte:r Installationskünstler:in und Forscher:in, beschäftigt sich in Die unfassbare Vielfalt des Seins intensiv mit der Interaktion zwischen Technik und Natur und untersucht die Bandbreite nicht-menschlicher Intelligenzen, die zumeist dezentral agieren und durch ihre für uns oftmals noch vollkommen neuartige Strukturen und innere Logiken ein schier unerschöpfliches Arsenal an Lernmöglichkeiten bieten. Bridle lädt uns in seinem zweiten Essay zu einem nachhaltigen Perspektivenwechsel ein und argumentiert stichhaltig für eine philosophische Überschreibung des Anthropozentrismus und für eine Universalität der Vernunft, die sich nicht ausschließlich auf den Homo sapiens bezieht. Bridle zeigt in seinem klar strukturierten und nachvollziehbaren Text auf, wie wir pflanzliche und tierische Intelligenzen in einen fruchtbaren Austausch mit künstlicher und menschlicher Intelligenz bringen, um unsere Stellung in einer technologisierten Welt zu überdenken und innovative und nachhaltige Lösungsvorschläge zu entwickeln, um so eine gerechtere, inklusivere und symbiotischere Welt möglich zu machen. Zentrale Ideen des Textes sind die Errichtung von Wildtierkorridoren, die Vergrößerung von Naturschutzgebieten, die Verwirklichung des Half-Earth-Projects und die Erkenntnis, dass die Lebensqualität von Pflanzen, Tieren und Menschen durch gegenseitige Empathie und Solidarität und mittels Hilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz verbessert werden kann und nachhaltige und effiziente Methoden erarbeitet werden können, um den Klimawandel einzudämmen und eine CO2-Klimaneutralität zu erreichen.
