A new paper by Aleh Cherp and several co-authors published in Environmental Research Letters asks what is the fastest realistic rate of global coal phase-out and what it means for the climate.  The paper signals both good and bad news. The good news are that more and more countries promise to phase out coal, including poorer economies that rely more on coal, have younger power plants and weaker de

När astmatikers luftvägar exponeras för kvalster försämras immunresponsen vilket kan leda till ett nedsatt immunförsvar. Personer med förkylningsastma kan då lättare drabbas av sekundära virus- och bakterieinfektioner. Studiens resultat tyder på att astmatiker bör undvika kvalster och att de patienter som dessutom är allergiska mot kvalster bör överväga att genomgå så kallad hyposensibilisering, m
