Pollution lumineuse, pollution insidieuse
Bulletin de l'Académie Nationale de Médecine, 2020 RESUME Contrairement aux autres sources de pollution, l’agression lumineuse par les nouvelles sources de lumiere artificielle sont moins souvent denoncees. Et cependant, la retine y est constamment exposee. A tout le moins une photo-protection par des verres filtrant les rayonnements nocifs pour la retine pourrait etre a recommander, tout ...

Effects of thermal inversion induced air pollution on COVID-19 [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Air pollution is a threat to human health, in particular since it aggravates respiratory diseases. Early COVID-19 outbreaks in Wuhan, China and Lombardy, Italy coincided with high levels of air pollution drawing attention to a potential role of particulate matter and other pollutants in infections and more severe outcomes of the new lung disease.
