 PUTRAJAYA: With the aftermath of the Putra Heights gas pipeline blast beginning to stabilize, experts in the environment are voicing their worries about conducting tests in the nearby region to check for possible residual harmful substances and atmospheric contamination remaining from the blaze.
 
 
 The vice-president of the Environment Protection Society of Malaysia, Randolph Jeremiah, stated that the ash and burnt remnants remaining in the impacted regions could lead to localized air contamination.
 
 
 These currently desolate areas might be concealing large amounts of ash and other burned debris, which could result in localized air pollution similar to smog appearing suddenly, especially when the weather is dry.
 
 
 It would be prudent to test the surrounding contaminated zones for any harmful residue levels to ascertain whether decontaminating the area is necessary.
 
 
 “He stated that a waste management plan ought to be put into action promptly to methodically remove and discard the rubble, succeeded by site rehabilitation aimed at landscaping and reintroducing vegetation to rejuvenate the region.”
 
 
 The President of Sahabat Alam Malaysia, Meena Raman, stated that the uncertain period during which gas leaked from the pipeline prior to the explosion might have released harmful greenhouse gases such as methane into the surroundings, potentially impacting the wellbeing of local wildlife.
 
 
 Methane has the potential to decrease oxygen levels in the surroundings, leading to various health problems for both humans and animals including vision impairment, nausea, and vomiting.
 
 
 Particles measuring up to 2.5 micrometres in size or smaller, as well as inhalable dust particles with diameters of 10 micrometres or less, might have escaped into the surroundings through the pipeline. This leakage can lead to respiratory issues for both animals and humans.
 
 
 "Volatile organic compounds such as benzene that have leaked can generate ground-level smog, which may lead to adverse effects on the neurological and cardiovascular systems of local wildlife," she explained.
 
 
 Meena mentioned that the combustion of plastics and various materials in local residences might have led to an emission of fine particles and volatile substances, which could disturb both people and wildlife in the vicinity.
 
 
 She highlighted that synthetic substances like rubber, plastics, upholstery, paints, or foam might have emitted hydrogen cyanide upon being burned, potentially causing effects akin to those of methane inhalation.
 
 
 She likewise expressed worry that the asbestos in the buildings might have caught fire, leading to dangerous asbestos fibers being dispersed into the surrounding area.
 
 
 The intense heat produced by the blaze along with the powerful gusts of wind on that particular day might have carried them quite far away from the damaged zone.
 
 
 "Fortunately, provided that the remnants from the fire aren’t substantially disrupted, the chance of airborne asbestos fibre exposure to the public and nearby residents remains minimal since the concentration of these fibres in the air becomes quite low some time after the fire has been extinguished," she stated.
 
 
 She mentioned that contaminants might also have entered the environment due to the use of foams and various fire-retardant materials employed to put out the blaze, leading to potential long-lasting impacts on the ecosystem.
 
 
 “Contaminant air deposition and contaminated soils could serve as a long-term source of stormwater, surface water and groundwater contamination.
 
 
 “As such, besides monitoring air quality, the government should also monitor soil, groundwater and surface water quality and abatement measures. Clean-ups should also be taken accordingly.”

Snook Readies for Chilifest: Traffic and Security on Alert

Unknown events and festivals, festivals, safety, security, transportation

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1Ck51V" data-reference="video"/>

 BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) -- With throngs of people converging for a multi-day country music event, area traffic officials and security teams are preparing for the influx of attendees.


 This year’s
 Chilifest
 The country music festival anticipated to attract approximately 40,000 attendees to Snook. Such large crowds necessitate additional personnel to ensure smooth operations for security and traffic management.


 When visitors are here and generally having a pleasant experience, they typically aren’t glancing around anxiously," explained Travis Lacox, co-founder of TNT Security. "They rely on us to address these issues, which is exactly what we aim to accomplish. Our goal is for them to have an enjoyable stay.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Ckg7y" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Ckg7y.jpg"/>

 With long lines of traffic, parking problems, and spotty cell phone service, one of the biggest concerns in making plans for Chilifest is finding a ride. This year, The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and TNT Security worked together to combat some of those traffic concerns.


 Safety, security, and traffic management form a collaborative endeavor for one of Brazos Valley’s most thrilling weekends. These teams mention they have been coordinating efforts for several months now. Both TxDOT and TNT Security operate seamlessly throughout pre-event preparations, event day operations, and post-event procedures to ensure that attendees at Chili Fest remain happy and secure.


 For us, it’s all about ensuring people enter through the gates contentedly," Lacox added. "If we manage to keep them joyful from the road until they join the event, and ensure they enjoy their time, then send them back home satisfied, it significantly reduces many of our issues.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Ck51Y" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Ck51Y.jpg"/>

 TNT Security has been managing security for Chilifest attendees for nine consecutive years and mentioned that their staff continuously works on enhancing measures at every festival.


 An enhancement included giving teams the option to choose between deploying safety and security staff to streamline access to and egress from the venue. To aid in reducing traffic congestion, TXDoT activated Highway 60, which was still under construction, over the weekend.


 "The upcoming new road being developed by TxDOT along with their contractors will benefit our community. They have collaborated effectively for this project, allowing us to launch an additional 1.9-mile stretch of fresh roadway. This extension means we can reroute all Chilly Fest traffic through these newly accessible roads," he clarified.


 Authorities additionally mentioned that they anticipate the open road will benefit residents not intending to participate in the celebrations.


 "We will permit them to utilize this for guiding their traffic flow. This means that those individuals solely aiming to travel via FM 60 won’t have to remain stuck in that queue," stated James Kreamer, an area engineer at TxDOT.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Cke1B" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Cke1B.jpg"/>

 “I hope it releases congestion, but also just makes things a lot safer,” Kreamer added. “I’m really hoping that it keeps things safer but also allows traffic to move as well.”


 Following months of preparation for the big turnout at the event, Lacox and Kreamer concur that this year ought to be their most seamless so far.


 To reach Chilifest, participants travel along University Drive (Highway 60) in College Station moving westward, proceed through Snook, and then take a right onto FM 3058.

Peringatan: 7 Barang yang Tidak Boleh Dimasukkan ke dalam Kamar Hotel!

Unknown food and drink, pet advice & tips, rules and regulations, safety, travel

Hotel sering kali dijadikan opsi penginapan yang nyaman dan terjamin keamanannya. Untuk memenuhi berbagai preferensi dan kebutuhan pelanggan, hotel menyediakan banyak tipe kamar. Apakah Anda pun biasanya memilih hotel ketika sedang melakukan perjalanan?
 traveling?


 Saat bermalam di sebuah hotel, ada sejumlah peraturan yang harus dikuti oleh semua pengunjung, ini mencakup larangan dan izin membawa berbagai jenis barang pribadi. Barang-barang apakah sajakah itu yang tak boleh dimasukkan ke dalam kamar hotel? Mari kita simak daftar lengkapnya beserta uraiannya!

<h2>
 1. Benda yang beraroma tajam
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zmfsD" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zmfsD.jpg"/>

 Sebagian besar penginapan melarang tamunya membawa benda berbau tajam ke dalam kamarnya karena baunya susah dibersihkan, terutama kalau ruangan tersebut tak punya jendela. Hal ini tentu bisa merepotkan staf bersih-bersih dan memastikan wangi yang mengganggu itu lenyap sepenuhnya.


 Benda yang memiliki bau menusuk ini bisa jadi adalah makanan loh. Contohnya seperti buah durian misalnya.
 natto
 , dan
 chou doufu
 Yang belum tentu disuka oleh semua orang adalah baunya. Lebih baik, Anda tidak memakan makanan itu di dalam kamar hotel untuk menghindari gangguan bagi tamu berikutnya.

<h2>
 2. Alat-alat listrik dengan daya besar
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zmd4a" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zmd4a.jpg"/>

 Alat minuman panas otomatis, lemari es kecil, dan
 hair dryer
 seringkali ditambahkan sebagai fasilitas ekstra untuk jenis kamar hotel tertentu. Meskipun demikian, ini tidak berarti bahwa Anda bisa bebas membawa perlengkapan elektronik ke dalam kamar hotel.


 JANGAN pernah mencoba membawa alat memasak elektrik atau memasak sendiri di kamar hotel demi mengurangi biaya! Sebab, perlengkapan bertegangan tinggi seperti setrika, kompor listrik, dan panci listrik bisa menjadi masalah.
 rice cooker
 mini dapat memicu korsleting.


 Ukuran kapasitas kabel yang tak cocok dengan intensitas aliran listrik bisa mengakibatkan hubungan pendek dan berpotensi menjalar menjadi kebakaran. Bila berniat untuk masak sendiri, periksa terlebih dahulu fasilitas di hotel tersebut atau teliti pilihan akomodasi lainnya.

<h2>
 3. Zat-zat beracun dan bahan peledak
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zmd4n" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zmd4n.jpg"/>

 Item berikutnya yang pastinya dilarang untuk dibawa ke dalam kamar hotel adalah zat-zat kimia berbahaya serta material peledak. Barang-barang tersebut bisa jadi diselundupkan oleh tamu-tamu dengan niat buruk. Penggunaan atau kelalaian terkait hal itu dapat mengancam keselamatan si pemilik dan juga para pengunjung hotel lainnya, bahkan merujuk pada dampak kerusakan fasilitas sampai potensi menewaskan orang-orang di sekitar.


 Sebagai contoh, asam sulfat dan asam klorida yang bersifat korosif bisa menimbulkan luka bakar pada kulit. Senyawa seperti sianida dan arsenik berpotensi mengakibatkankeracunan jika dikonsumsi atau terhisap. Sedangkan bubuk hitam, apabila mendapat nyala api, mampu meledak.

<h2>
 4. Zat yang cepat terbakar
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zmd4z" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zmd4z.jpg"/>

 Hindari membawa zat yang bisa terbakar dengan cepat seperti rokok ke dalam kamar hotel. Banyak tempat penginapan telah menerapkan aturan pelarangan merokok di area kamarnya, meskipun beberapa mungkin menyediakan ruangan khusus untuk itu. Alternatifnya, manajemen biasanya menyiapkan daerah outdoor tersendiri bagi para perokok.

 Untuk kalian yang menginap di hotel sebelumnya
 camping
 Atau melaksanakan kegiatan di luar rumah, lebih baik waspada apabila membawa gas.
 portable
 Sebab, propana dan butana yang umumnya dipakai sebagai gas pada tabung tersebut bisa menyebabkan api atau meledak. Lebih baik jangan membawa zat-zat yang cepat terbakar ke dalam kamar hotel, contohnya alkohol ataupun minyak tanah.

<h2>
 5. Obat-obatan terlarang
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zmmlW" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zmmlW.jpg"/>

 Obat-obatan terlarang termasuk ke dalam daftar benda yang sebaiknya jangan dibawa oleh para pengunjung hotel. Ini mencakup bukan hanya obat bius serta zat-zat psikoaktif lainnya yang bisa membuat seseorang berurusan dengan hukum. Termasuk pula larangan membawa obat penenang atau stimulan illegal semacam itu.


 Jika Anda diminta untuk minum obat, pastikan bahwa hal tersebut tidak menyalahi aturan hotel di mana Anda tinggal. Menggunakan narkoba bisa membawa dampak negatif bagi kesejahteraan Anda. Di beberapa situasi, ini juga mungkin meresahkan lingkungan serta mempengaruhi keselamatan umum di hotel.

<h2>
 6. Alat tajam serta alat tembak
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zmmm7" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zmmm7.jpg"/>

 Tidak diperbolehkannya membawa senjata tajam serta senjata api hampir selalu berlaku di setiap hotel karena masalah keselamatan bagi para tamu yang tinggal di sana. Namun, ini tentunya tidak berlaku jika Anda memiliki ijin resmi dan bukanlah pelaku kejahatan.


 Apabila Anda menjumpai senjata tajam ataupun senjata api dalam kamarnya hotel, langsung saja beritahu pihak staff dari tempat penginapan itu. Jangan khawatir, namun pastikan untuk tidak meraba-raba benda tersebut.

<h2>
 7. Hewan peliharaan
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zmaLp" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zmaLp.jpg"/>

 Apakah Anda berniat membawa peliharaan kesukaan ke penginapan? Jika ya, pastikan Anda memperhatikan aturan yang ada. Semua hotel tidak menerima hewan piaraan.
 pet friendly
 Membolehkan hewan peliharaan masuk ke kamar bersama para tamu.


 Berdasarkan aturan masing-masing hotel, beberapa tempat menginap tersebut
 pet friendly
 Menyiapkan ruangan istimewa dan lapang bagi pengunjung serta hewan kesayangannya. Terdapat pilihan lain yang menawarkan fasilitas terpisisah dari kamar tamu. Umumnya, properti ini dilengkapi dengan area publik yang luas, misalnya taman untuk berjalan-jalan bersama binatang piaraan.


 Demikian daftar barang yang tidak boleh dibawa masuk ke kamar hotel. Namun, kamu perlu memperhatikan kembali peraturan yang berlaku sebelum memutuskan untuk menginap di hotel pilihanmu. Hal ini dilakukan demi tidak melanggar peraturan dan berpotensi didenda, atau bahkan harus mengganti rugi.

Met Police Bans Loud Noises and Spinning Images in Presentations to Avoid Distracting Officers

Unknown incident, police and law enforcement, public health and safety, safety, security

From facing violent assailants to tackling issues related to drugs
 crime
 , law enforcement personnel encounter numerous perilous scenarios.


 However, it appears that Scotland Yard has pinpointed another element – PowerPoint presentations.


 The authorities have provided guidelines prohibiting loud sounds during presentations to prevent potentially triggering a cardiac event.


 The statement indicates that 'exposure to loud sounds may trigger a cardiac episode in readers who have underlying heart conditions,' further noting that 'rotating images, flashing lights, or animated content could raise the risk of epileptic attacks for individuals susceptible to seizures and should therefore be avoided.'


 The 34-page document was created by MetBats – the
 Metropolitan Police
 'S Briefing and Tasking System – designed for officers, supervisors, and response teams.


 Toby Young, who founded the Free Speech Union, commented, "One would expect that somebody whose fragile heart could be stopped by a sudden loud sound would completely steer clear of Scotland Yard."

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmPYJ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmPYJ.jpg"/>

 When The Mail on Sunday questioned if the guidance about heart attacks was suitable for a force responsible for swiftly responding to safeguard the public in high-pressure situations, a spokesperson from the Metropolitan Police stated: "These presentations are intended for employees across an organization of 50,000 individuals performing various roles."


 This guidance is intended for individuals who might encounter situations similar to those described.


 Maybe leaders are eager to prevent additional incidents. Data obtained through a Freedom of Information request showed that the Met documented close to 6,000 workplace accidents within a single year, with one involving "exposure to noise."

4 Tips Menghadapi Arus Balik Mudik dengan Aman, Hindari Kepadatan!

Unknown everyday life tips and hacks, health tips, safety, travel, travel planning and tips

Setelah merasakan keseruan bertemu dengan kerabat tersayang selama lebaran, saatnya bagi banyak orang untuk kembali ke tempat tinggal mereka di kota lain demi menghadapi aktivitas harian. Proses pulang ini seringkali menyita tenaga karena biasanya lebih ramai daripada masa mudik, membuat perjalanannya tampak jauh lebih melelahkan serta berbahaya.


 Macet lama, kondisi cuaca, serta rasa lelah ternyata dapat menyulitkan perjalanan saat arus balik mudik. Untuk alasan tersebut, sangat diperlukan persiapan yang matang dengan menerapkan beberapa saran berikut guna menjalani arus balik mudik secara lebih aman dan nyaman sehingga Anda akan tiba di destinasi akhir tanpa kendala.

<h2>
 1. Tentukan jadwal perjalanan yang sesuai
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1C7bJa" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1C7bJa.jpg"/>

 Untuk mengelakan titik tertib lalu lintas yang sibuk, ini adalah strategi krusial supaya Anda bisa hindari macet atau keramaian ketika memakai sistem transportasi. Umumnya, masa-masa padat pasca liburan Idul Fitri bakal datang satu hingga dua harinya selepas perayaan usai, jadi disarankan bagi Anda mulai petualangan lebih cepat atau sedikit di belakang waktu normal guna mencegah situasi demikian.


 Memilih perjalanan di pagi atau malam hari ternyata bisa membantu untuk menghindari potensi panas terik atau kepadatan lalu lintas. Setidaknya dengan strategi yang tepat, maka kamu pun akan merasa lebih nyaman dan menghindari potensi mengalami stres selama berada di jalanan.

<h2>
 2. Pastikan kendaraan tetap dalam kondisi yang prima
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1C7kFU" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1C7kFU.jpg"/>

 Sebelum berangkat, semestinya kamu dapat memastikan terlebih dahulu bahwa kendaraan sudah diperiksa dengan baik, termasuk bagian oli, rem, hingga tekanan ban. Kendaraan yang terawat dengan baik tentunya akan jauh lebih aman dan terhindar dari potensi mogok pada saat berada di tengah jalan.


 Jika kamu menggunakan kendaraan pribadi, maka sebaiknya lakukan servis terlebih dahulu sebelum perjalanan jauh untuk memastikan bahwa segala komponennya berfungsi dengan baik tanpa masalah. Sementara itu,buntuk kamu yang menggunakan transportasi umum, maka pastikan bahwa tiket telah dipesan sejak jauh-jauh hari untuk menghindari potensi kehabisan.

<h2>
 3. Siapkan fisik dan mental yang baik
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/BB1rdd0q" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1rdd0q.jpg"/>

 Pejantan panjang pada saat arus balik memang bisa terasa sangat melelahkan, khususnya ketika harus menghadapi kemacetan di jalanan. Oleh sebab itu, kamu harus memastikan bahwa kondisi tubuh memang fit dengan cara beristirahat secukupnya sebelum berangkat agar tetap aman.


 Jika mengemudi sendiri, maka usahakan berhenti dan beristirahat setiap beberapa jam sekali untuk menghindari potensi kelelahan atau kantuk. Jangan sampai memaksakan diri untuk terus berkendara dalam kondisi mengantuk, sebab hal tersebut hanya akan meningkatkan risiko kemacetan yang mungkin terjadi.

<h2>
 4. Gunakan teknologi untuk memantau perjalanan
</h2>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/BB1kwg3q" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1kwg3q.jpg"/>

 Aplikasi navigasi, seperti
 Google Maps
 atau Waze ternyata akan sangat membantu untuk menemukan jalur alternatif apabila sampai terjadi kemacetan yang parah. Selain itu, informasi dari media sosial atau situs resmi lalu lintas bisa saja memberikan gambaran secara jelas terkait kondisi jalanan yang akan kamu lewati.


 Mengikuti perkembangan informasi lalu lintas secara
 real time
 tentu dapat membantumu untuk menghindari rute yang dianggap terlalu padat. Setidaknya strategi tersebut dapat memastikan bahwa perjalanan arus balik yang kamu lakukan jadi terasa lebih efisien dan nyaman, tanpa menimbulkan bahaya.


 Menghadapi arus balik mudik memerlukan persiapan yang matang agar perjalanan tetap nyaman dan aman. Oleh sebab itu, kamu perlu melakukan perencanaan dengan baik agar arus balik mudik pun bisa dilalui dengan lancar, tanpa stres berlebihan. Pastikan untuk tetap waspada dan berhati-hati agar bisa kembali ke kota asal dengan selamat!

Kenapa Penumpang Tak Bisa Melihat Bintang dari Jendela Pesawat?

 - Tempat duduk di dekat jendela menjadi salah satu hal yang paling dicari penumpang saat naik
 pesawat
 . Harapannya, mereka bisa melihat pemandangan indah di luar melalui jendela tersebut. Namun, sayangnya, penumpang tak akan pernah bisa melihat bintang dari sana.


 Seorang ahli telah mengungkap alasan sebenarnya mengapa penumpang tidak dapat melihat bintang di luar
 jendela pesawat
 . Astrofisikawan teoretis dan penulis sains, Ethan Siegel, mengatakan bahwa penyebab terbesar di balik misteri ini adalah lampu buatan di kabin yang dapat mengaburkan pandangan terhadap langit malam yang berkelap-kelip.

<h2>
 Lampu Pesawat Bikin Silau
</h2>

 Ilmuwan tersebut mengatakan bahwa para
 penumpang pesawat
 kehilangan sebagian dari langit terbaik karena lampu. Lampu pesawat yang menyilaukan dapat menciptakan silau di jendela, sehingga hampir mustahil untuk melihat malam berbintang di bawahnya. Ia membandingkan fenomena tersebut dengan ketika orang tidak dapat melihat apa yang terjadi di luar rumah jika lampu menyala karena di dalam rumah harus lebih gelap.


 "Aturan umumnya, tempat Anda melihat harus lebih gelap daripada tempat yang Anda tuju, atau Anda tidak akan dapat melihat banyak hal," kata dia dalam sebuah posting di
 Medium
 , yang dikutip
 Daily Mail
 ,
 Senin, 31 Maret 2025.


 Ia menambahkan, jika bukan karena lampu pesawat, penumpang sebenarnya akan dapat menikmati pemandangan langit terbaik. Mudahnya, seseorang dapat membayangkan berada di rumah sendiri pada malam hari. Jika lampu di dalam rumah menyala tetapi di luar gelap, orang tidak dapat melihat luar dengan jelas. Sementara, sari luar rumah, seseorang yang melihat ke dalam dapat melihat semua. "Namun, jika Anda ingin melihat apa yang terjadi di luar, Anda perlu mematikan lampu di dalam dan mematikan lampu di luar, bukan?"

<h2>
 Faktor Cahaya Kota dan Bulan
</h2>

 Namun, faktor-faktor seperti polusi cahaya dari kota-kota, bahkan ribuan kaki di bawah, dapat memengaruhi visibilitas bintang-bintang. Bulan juga bisa jadi penghalang alami karena cahayanya dapat mengalahkan cahaya bintang dan meredupkannya.


 Jika wisatawan ingin mengamati bintang-bintang dalam penerbangan, mereka harus memilih tempat duduk di dekat jendela yang jauh dari sayap pesawat, tidak menghadap bulan, dan mematikan lampu kabin jika memungkinkan. Dari lokasi yang sangat tercemar cahaya (seperti kebanyakan kota besar), hanya bintang dan planet yang paling terang yang terlihat, bahkan pada malam yang cerah. Sebaliknya, jika dari lokasi yang gelap dan jauh dari kota, tanpabulan dan cahaya berlebihan, jumlah bintang yang terlihat melonjak hingga antara 6.000 dan 45.000, Bima Sakti terlihat, dan warna bintang juga lebih terang.

「タイミングがわからなかった」イギリス人が日本で困惑地元ノルウェーと違い残念だった場所とは

 世界的にも治安の良い国として知られている日本。しかし、あるイギリス人旅行者には、ルールを守られていないことで戸惑った場所がありました。いったい、どこで困ってしまったのでしょうか。


 ◇ ◇ ◇

<h2>
 「お寺や日本のポップカルチャーが好き」
</h2>

 日本へ来るのは2年ぶり2度目だという、ノルウェー在住で同国出身のアマンダさんとイギリス出身のジェレミーさん。ノルウェーから日本へは2025年3月時点では直行便がなく、ふたりは飛行機を乗り継いでやって来ました。


 「またすぐに帰って来たい」と、3度目の訪日を熱望するほど、すっかり日本に魅了されたふたり。今回は2週間滞在し、前回行くことができなかった名古屋や富士河口湖、姫路などをめぐる予定です。


 「お寺や日本のポップカルチャーが好きだから、また来たかったんです」とアマンダさん。ジェレミーさんは「あとなんといっても日本食ですね」と、おいしい日本の食べ物に目がない様子です。

<h2>
 「日本は意外にすーっと通っていくから」
</h2>

 日本の美しい景色や歴史的建造物など、さまざまな文化体験を楽しんでいますが、ふたりには日本で戸惑ったことがありました。それは交通ルールです。


 「信号がない交差点や横断歩道で、歩行者はいつ渡ったらいいのかなって、ちょっと戸惑いました。ノルウェーでは歩行者が見えたら車は必ず止まります。もしくは、渡っていいよってライトで合図してくれますね。日本は意外に車がすーっと通っていくから、渡っていいタイミングがわからなかったです」


 日本でも、横断歩道を歩行者や自転車が横断しているときや、横断しようとしているときは、横断歩道の手前、もしくは停止線がある場合は、その手前で一時停止をすることが法律で定められています。ところが、ジェレミーさんたちが困惑するほど、譲ってくれる車が少なかったのは、とても残念でなりません。


 警察庁の発表によると2020年から2024年までの過去５年間で、自動車と歩行者が衝突した交通死亡事故のうち35.5％は、横断歩道を利用したにもかかわらず発生しています。誰もが交通ルールやマナーを遵守し、安全な日本を保ちたいですね。

 Frito-Lay has
 issued a recall
 on some packages of Tostitos
 chips
 over an undeclared allergen.


 On Wednesday, the corporation released a statement regarding the recall of a restricted quantity of 13-ounce packages of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips within the U.S. These particular batches might inadvertently include nacho cheese tortilla chips, which implies they potentially harbor an unlisted milk allergen.

 Memakaihelm tanpa pelindung depan dapat memperbesar ancaman saat mengemudi. Mata menjadi rentan terhadap partikel debu, pasir, serta serangga yang berhamburan di jalanan karena kurangnya proteksi ekstra tersebut. Hal ini semakin ditambah oleh kondisi lingkungan dengan volume traffik tinggi berserta keberadaan banyak kendaraan bermotor besar seperti truk dan bis.


 Angin yang konstan dapat merusak pandangan Anda dan menurunkan tingkat konsentrasi, sehingga mungkin membahayakan petualangan Anda. Tambahan lagi, dalam kasus ada insiden, helm tanpa visir tidak akan melindungi wajah dengan baik; ini memperbesar risiko cidera karena tabrakan langsung.


 Maka dari itu, helm tanpa kacamata masih dapat dikenakan meski terkena tilang. Akan tetapi, walaupun tak ada peraturan pasti yang mengharamkannya, pemakaiannya tetap membahayakan keselamatan dan mungkin diartikan sebagai kurang sesuai dengan standar keamanan.

위험한 식습관이 폐암 위험을 최대 3배 증가시킨다?

Unknown health, health & fitness, health risks, medical conditions and diseases, safety

<div>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bxntr" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bxntr.jpg"/>
</div>

 흡연과 폐암 간의 밀접한 관련성은 이미 오랜 기간 동안 확인되어 왔습니다.
 
 그러나 최신 연구들에 따르면 흡연을 하지 않는 사람들에서도 폐암 발병률이 상승하고 있다는 점입니다.
 
 식습관이 이 원인 중 하나로 강조되며, 특히 우리가 자주 하는 음식 섭취 습관이 의외로 폐암의 위험성을 증가시킬 수 있음을 알게 되었다. 우리의 하루하루 속에 숨은 이러한 식사 패턴들이 결국에는 질병 발생 확률을 올릴 수 있는 것이다.


 특히 폐는 외부의 해로운 물질뿐만 아니라 체내의 염증 및 활성 산소에도 예민하게 반응하는 장기입니다.
 
 먹는 음식 종류에 따라서 폐 조직에서 일어나는 염증 반응과 산화 스트레스가 커져 암 발병 확률이 올라갈 수 있습니다.
 
 다음은 의료진이 특별히 주의를 기울이는 폐암과 관련된 위험한 식사 습관 세 가지입니다.

<div>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bx9Et" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bx9Et.jpg"/>
</div>

 
 첫 번째, 가공 육류 중심의 식단 - 니트로사민 및 나트륨 과다 섭취의 문제
 


 
 햄, 소시지, 베이컨 등의 가공 육류를 많이 먹는 식사는 폐암 발병과 깊게 연결되어 있습니다.
 
 가공육을 보존할 때 쓰이는 아질산염이 몸 안에서는 니트로사민이라는 물질로 바뀌는데, 이것이 매우 위험한 발암물질이라고 여겨진다.


 특히 니트로사민은 호흡기보다는 혈액을 통해 폐 조직에 축적되며, 이는 폐 세포를 공격하고 돌연변이를 유발할 가능성이 있습니다.
 
 여기서 프로세스드 미트에 포함된 과다한 소금 성분은 몸 안에서 염증 반응을 강화하고, 이러한 만성적인 염증 상태는 폐암 발생의 기반이 됩니다.
 


 가공육의 섭취를 주 1회 미만으로 제한하고, 고기를 먹을 때는 신선한 생고기와 야채를 같이 소비하는 것이 좋다.

<div>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bx9EF" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bx9EF.jpg"/>
</div>

 
 두 번째, 고혈당 지수(GI)가 높은 식품 섭취 – 인슐린 저항성과 폐세포 돌연변이
 


 단순히 혈당 수치를 상승시키는 것을 넘어서, 정제된 탄수화물과 고당 분 함유 싥사들은 다양한 건강 문제가 발생할 수 있습니다.
 
 흰쌀밥, 흰빵, 케익, 과자 등과 같이 고glycemic index (GI) 식품들은 식사 후에 혈당 수치가 급속히 오르게 만들어 폐암 발병 위험성을 증대시킨다고 합니다.
 
 이는 인슐린의 과도한 분비를 초래합니다.


 상시적으로 혈당 수준이 높은 다이어트는 인슐린 저항성 문제를 더욱 나쁘게 만들고, 인슐린 및 유사 성장 인자(I GF-1)의 양을 증가시킨다.
 
 이들 호르몬은 세포 증식을 촉진하고, 폐세포 돌연변이를 유발하는 환경을 만든다.
 


 Moreover, high blood sugar levels can increase oxidative stress within the body.
 
 이것은 폐 조직 내의 DNA 손상들을 증가시킨다.
 
 현미, 전분 밀, 그리고 콩과 곡물 등 당지수가 낮은 음식들을 사용하여 탄수화물을 치환해야 합니다.

</div>

 
 세 번째, 트랜스지방과 포화지방 중심의 식사 – 산화 스트레스와 염증 반응 유발
 


 
 패스트푸드, 마가린, 쇼트닝이 들어간 베이커리 제품, 크림류 등의 트랜스지방과 포화지방은 폐 건강에 악영향을 미친다.
 
 이들 지방은 체내에서 산화 스트레스를 유발하고, 염증 반응을 지속적으로 자극한다.


 특히 트랜스지방은 세포막의 유동성을 떨어뜨리고, 폐세포의 재생과 회복을 방해한다.
 
 만성적인 염증 상태는 폐 세포를 암세포로 변형시키는 촉매 역할을 하며,
 
 이로 인해 비흡연자도 폐암 위험이 증가할 수 있다.


 트랜스지방 섭취를 줄이기 위해선 가공식품과 인스턴트 식품을 지양하고, 불포화지방산이 풍부한 견과류, 올리브유, 들기름 등을 사용하는 것이 추천된다.

<div>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BxkRG" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BxkRG.jpg"/>
</div>

 
 폐암을 막기 위한 식습관, 지금부터 바꿔야 한다
 


 비흡연자라도 폐암으로부터 안전하다는 확신은 없으며, 생활 습관과 식사가 폐 세포의 상태를 좋게 만들거나 나쁘게 할 수 있음을 이해하는 게 필수적이다.


 
 특히 염분과 당분 섭취를 줄이고 트랜스 지방 함유 식품을 회피하는 대신 신선한 야채와 산화 방지를 돕는 음식물을 증가시키는 것이 폐암 예방에 중요한 초반 단계이다.
 
 요리 방법도 중요한 요소입니다. 기름에 볶거나 튀기는 대신 찐이나 끓인 음식으로 선택하여 불필요한 발암 물질에의 노출을 최소화하는 것이 좋습니다.


 이제부터라도 자신의 음식 섭취 습관을 확인하고 개선하여 폐 건강에 주력한다면 이것이 가장 좋은 방법인 셈이다. 이것은 폐암을 예방하는데 효과적일 것이다.

 A new ranking has revealed the world’s safest country to move as an expat and it
 ’s a European country that tops the list.


 The expat experts at
 William Russell
 looked at key factors such as personal security, public health, infrastructure and environmental safety to determine the winner.

<h2 class="mol-para-with-font mol-style-subhead">
 Iceland
</h2>

 Iceland takes the crown as the safest country in the world to be an expat, due to its 'low
 crime
 rate', 'high life expectancy' and 'high air quality'.


 A William Russell spokesperson explains: 'Iceland’s life expectancy is currently 82.6 years, higher than the EU average of 80.9 years. In terms of accessing healthcare, Icelanders generally report low levels of unmet medical needs.'


 Iceland's air quality is so good that it 'exceeds' the
 World Health Organization
 's guidelines for air quality.


 Although Iceland has 'few dangerous wildlife', William Russell warns prospective expats that '
 earthquakes
 and volcanic eruptions can occur' although they are 'rarely dangerous'.

<h2 class="mol-para-with-font mol-style-subhead">
 Ireland
</h2>

 Second on the list is the Emerald Isle, which makes the grade for its 'strong and stable economy' and 'tolerance of migrants'.


 The country also has a life expectancy of 82.2 years, which is higher than the EU average (80.9 years).


 A William Russell spokesperson adds that Ireland has made progress on infrastructure and public health in recent years.


 However, they say that Ireland does suffer from a 'lack of affordable housing', which could impact prospective expats.

<h2 class="mol-para-with-font mol-style-subhead">
 Austria
</h2>

 Austria places third on the list and is recognised for its 'low crime rates' and 'strong judicial system'.


 Expats can take advantage of Austria's 'incredibly extensive rail system' which stretches for 6,123km/3,804 miles.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BoLnL" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BoLnL.jpg"/>

 A William Russell spokesperson explains: 'In Austria, the health system has almost universal coverage, and accessibility is considered to be generally good.'


 On the flipside, they warn: '[Austria's] energy infrastructure can be problematic, as, in recent years, the country has been heavily reliant on Russian oil, which is even more of an issue, given the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.'

<h2 class="mol-para-with-font mol-style-subhead">
 New Zealand
</h2>

 New Zealand lands just outside the top three in fourth place due to its 'low crime rates'.


 A William Russell spokesperson says: 'New Zealand is about as safe as it gets. The country has a remarkably low crime rate compared to global averages.'


 New Zealand's universal healthcare and 'friendly' people also helped to land it in the top four.


 However, would-be expats are warned: 'New Zealand’s sea levels are slowly rising, meaning that flooding in coastal areas is becoming much more frequent. As such, homeowners and expats in these areas could face costs related to these environmental challenges.'

<h2 class="mol-para-with-font mol-style-subhead">
 Singapore
</h2>

 Singapore rounds off the top five for safety due to its 'low crime rates', 'efficient infrastructure' and 'good air quality'.


 However, while Singapore's 'low crime rate' helps boost its safety scores, a William Russell spokesperson warns that this is partly due to the country's 'strict laws'.


 They say: 'You should familiarise yourself with these laws before moving, as jaywalking and littering could land you a hefty fine.'


 While the country's healthcare is high quality, it's not free, so the expat experts advise setting up a 'comprehensive insurance plan' before moving to Singapore.
