pm 2.5 kills people

Moe's last night skating in Taibei. we went to the bridge and met some homies, one of whoms keys I lost beause he soiled my apartment on new years with regurgitated gin and tonic. I didn;t lose his keys as revenge, just as an afterthought. actually, i m not even sure that they are lost, sorry dude. also, never puke in my apartment agian. also alos, i thought maybe i dropped them at the bridge somehow, so i went back and ended up skating around the area for another hour.

Moe's last trick in Taiwan (that I saw) was the most stylish (and buzzed to drunk) ***** *** **** I have ever seen. Thanks man, hell of a goodbye.

 I woke up early and went to do grown up things. Being busy is hard to reconcile with street skating, since the crowds and traffic make it impossible before 23 00, and skating after 23 00 makes it impossible to get anything done in the morning. By the time we got back home tonight, the city was choking with a poison cloud of pink pm2.5. There is no wind at all. We are stewing in the poison of the factories and scooters. It smells sweet like car exhaust mixed with burning tires. I have to produce sciency shit by tuesday, so I hope it blows out by then, which is probably the next time I'll be able to spend anytime outside. I can't see mitsukoshi or 101 from my rooftop.

Results

For short-term exposure, we found that for every 10-μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 exposure there was a 2.8% increase in PM-related mortality (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.0–3.5). For the long-term exposure at the grid cell level, we found an odds ratio (OR) for every 10-μg/m3 increase in long-term PM2.5 exposure of 1.6 (CI = 1.5–1.8) for particle-related diseases. Local PM2.5 had an OR of 1.4 (CI = 1.3– 1.5), which was independent of and additive to the grid cell effect.

In Taipei right now, we are at 150+μg/m3
