What’s that smell? Everything you need to know about the burning smell in Singapore over the past few days The good news though, official air quality readings show PSI and PM2.5 levels are still comfortably in the “good” range.

"For most people, the #smell is just a nuisance. But those with #asthma, #allergies, or sensitive airways may experience irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, or #lungs. Even low levels of VOCs can trigger reactions": buff.ly/w8yYl2E

Prehistoric fish: coelacanths heard underwater using their lungs How did ancient fish perceive their environment in the deep-sea? An international team led by scientists from the Natural History Museum of Geneva (MHNG) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE) reveals that some coelacanths – fish living 240 million years ago – used their lung to detect sounds underwater. These findings, published in the journal Communications Biology, were obtained using synchrotron imaging, an especially powerful X-ray technique. They shed new light on the evolution of sensory systems in vertebrates.

When writing an issue with breathing and the #lungs, think the body starving for air. People who have to "work" to breathe often become exhausted just from this. Think skin pallor, blue lips, audible, gasping breaths, fatigue, difficulty speaking, pain when breathing

#WritingBodies #WritingTips

Illness can effect the efficiency with which air moves through the #lungs. Asthma for instance causes airway inflammation: often air can more easily be drawn in than let out, resulting in a "wheezing" sound when a person exhales. People often describe a sensation of being "squeezed"

#WritingBodies

Injuries to the #chest can effect this pressure system. A hole in the chest cavity can cause air to draw through the hole instead of the mouth, where it can't reach the #lungs. A hole in the lung will cause air to leak into the chest cavity, decreasing space available for inflation.

#WritingBodies

a drawing of a person 's chest with pink lungs and a green stripe Alt: An animated drawing of a human chest, illustrating the lungs in the thoracic cavity. A green line illustrating the diaphragm muscle moves downward, increasing the volume of the cavity. At the same time, the two bags of the lungs increase in volume at the same rate. When the lungs inflate, air is illustrated being drawn into them from the trachea.

First, it might surprise you that the #lungs work via negative pressure. When you breathe, the diaphragm draws down, creating a larger space around the lungs, causing air to be drawn into them. This is respiration; ventilation is the mechanical act of pushing air into the lungs.

#WritingBodies

#WritingBodies: After talking about the throat, I think I'll move down to the #lungs. I'll save any rants about the depictions of CPR (even on The Pitt!!) for a different thread, but let's talk about writing about lung illness and injury --
