Perfumes Collect in Distant Ice

     In the article "Perfumes from everyday products collect in distant ice" states that perfumes from everyday products like soaps and cleaners are actually getting caught in the ice located in remote areas. A researcher on the team named Marco Vecchiato stated that "everyday activities -just washing your hands and taking a shower- may have an impact" far from your bathroom." The problem keeps growing, the more perfume products that are used increases the amount of substances introduced into the atmosphere. In different layers, there is a difference in perfume based on the levels of poverty and money. It is especially an issue near Mount Elbrus which is where this problem is occurring.

     I thought this was a very interesting article because it is not something people are worried about. We should be concerned about it because ice evaporates and that water then turns into rain which could poison the lands. This could also affect the stratosphere.

    The article was interesting to me because I've always thought about how the atmosphere could be polluted. Most people think that gases and poisons only pollute the air, but many other things, including perfumes, can too. Maybe this problem is affecting global warming.

    This article is actually very interesting and concerning. I actually heard that about 95% of the chemical's used in perfumes causes environmental problems. I wouldn't have expected that an everyday item that we use to make ourselves smell good could have that much of an impact on the environment.

    I thought this article was very interesting and it made me think about how much pollution we actually put into the environment. When we think of pollution we think about plastic or trash, not perfume. So this article just made me realize that many other things in this world are pollution too, and we need to protect the Earth. Do you really think perfume will affect our land?

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

 Over 87,000 papers have been published about this global pandemic. When most people think of the pandemic going around right now, they think about how awful it all is. How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future? And how will it impact future in sciences? We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
