Girl, we just have more experience with and poisoning of radioactive materials :) Health and intelligence proportionally less :)))
 
Seaweed, calamari contain a lot of iodine. Seaweed is plentiful in the shops.
 

I cannot say anything new about the situation in the contaminated areas of the Bryansk region. The press and internet publications in the oblast have been swept under the carpet, there are only officials and rumours. Officially everything is fine, all the fires are extinguished within a day, not a single house has been burnt down and the peasants continue to burn grass, ignoring the prohibition. The governor asked Shoigu for preventive help, better with money (18 billion for "strengthening forest fire protection"). Shoigu did not refuse, promised a couple of fire tanks and assured him that everything was under control. Two fires in Krasnogorsk district yesterday, both extinguished (local radio).

There was some rain on the border with Belarus, improving the situation. Background in Bryansk 12 micro-roentgen per hour, according to my gauge and the public outside. No refugees, no panic rumours. The city is in smoke from the nearby peat bogs, no open fire is visible.

IMHO, there is no point in drinking iodine anyway. The idea was to saturate the body with regular iodine to prevent the arrival and accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid, a product of the Chernobyl explosion. The old iodine had already decayed, there was nothing new in the tails that the fire would raise. Plus, drinking iodine without knowing the diagnosis is extremely dangerous. This is a philistine opinion, in fact, with some thyroid tumours for example, iodine can kill you.

 

What a nonsense, it was half as much yesterday.

 

Moscow in smoke

The smoke situation in Moscow seems to be out of control. You can't see anything there at all.

































 

Abnormal heat wave - Americans warned in advance

No, it doesn't look like it's the first time in 1,000 years that it's been this hot.

granit77, thanks, I found the chronicles. Anyone interested - read what the weather in Russia has been like since the 9th century: Chronicles.

 

I'm amazed at you.

And what have they been measuring temperature with since the 9th century????

The thermometer

" It didn't take scientists long to invent the thermometer. The first to suggest measuring temperature was Galileo Galilei. In 1592 , he created the thermoscope. It was a glass tube with a ball of glass at the end. The ball was heated and the end of the tube was dipped into water. In this way, because the ball was being cooled, the pressure inside it decreased and the water in the tube rose to the top, due to atmospheric pressure. When the temperature rose, on the contrary, the water went down. It was impossible to determine a specific temperature with this device - it only gave an approximate idea of the degree of heating. A scale was needed for accurate data and Florentine scientists added small balls to the tube and pumped air out of it. In the early 17th century Torricelli converted such a thermosop into an alcohol thermosop. Now there was no need for an additional vessel with water, and the principle of this thermosope was that alcohol expanded when heated.

But scientists could not agree on what the readings of the devices should be and what the graduation scale was. In 1694 Carlo Renaldini put forward a proposal to place two boundaries on the scale: the upper one - the boiling point of water and the lower one - the melting point of ice. But this was not very rational. In 1714 the first mercury thermometer was made. Its inventor was Fahrenheit. Then three dots appeared on the scale:
1) the temperature at which a salt solution freezes - 32 °F;
2) the temperature at which a human body freezes - 96 °F;
3) boiling point of water - 212 °F.

The Fahrenheit thermometer is still in use in the USA. In Europe, it remained in use until the end of the 20th century.

After that, another scale has been invented, which has never been in use. In 1730, in experiments with alcohol, Reaumur found that alcohol mixed with water in a ratio of 5:1, expands at a ratio of 1000:1080 as the temperature changes from freezing point to boiling point. He then suggested that a scale of 0 to 80 degrees be applied. Zero indicated the melting point of ice and 80 the boiling point of water.

And so, in 1742, the Swedish scientist Andres Celsius proposed a scale for the mercury thermometer that had 100 divisions - 100 degrees. But Celsius did not position the extremes very comfortably: 0 degrees indicated the boiling point of water and 100 was the melting point of ice. So the astronomer Stroemer and the botanist Linnaeus decided to swap the dots.

After that, several more types of scales and thermometers were proposed, but all of them were not that handy or practical."

I'm amazed at you.

What's been taking your temperature since the 9th century????...

That's not for us. Whoever said there hasn't been a temperature like that in a thousand years must have taken it, if he says so. And your Fahrenheits don't tell him what to do.
