    Thank you very much for this clear video explanation. How can we attract people to learn about the importance of the Air they breathe? In Portugal it is very difficult to involve communities in public debates on this topic. Air pollution does not appeal, and yet people may be breathing bad Quality Air in their own houses. It is vitally important to raise awareness on the invisible enemy and create Citizen SCIENCE Projects to monitor Air Quality in our houses, both inside and outside. Children and youg people must be educated on these topics. I realize school curriculum is not enough. Certain human activities and habits, such as wood burning and agricultural burnings outside, as well as wildfires, generate high levels of pollutants. Portugal's forest fires may even affect northern european countries.

    one of the most effective way to protect yourself against pollutants is ventilation : keep as much as possible a constant flow of air from outside your home ( make sure the outside air is cleaner than the inside air .) even if you cannot create a constant flow , make it as often as possible even at night but be reasonable if it is too cold cover more your body of course ! now how do you know the air is polluted ?? ( I am a doctor ) you have different levels of attack .phase 1 only the eyes start to burn more or less with some coughings right away that will not last but are a signals already and take it as a warning !! phase 2 nose and throat start to burn phase 3 difficult breathing and very irregular intake inspiration phase 4 loss of balance vertigo phase 5 cannot think rapidly and clearly phase 6 pain in the chest meaning heart muscles don't receive enough oxygen or intoxicated !! great danger of heart attack ! get out very fast from where you are specially if at home !! go outside look for fresh air .it is known that houses are 10 to 20 times more polluted than outdoors .the time of exposition to pollution is very important .the longer it is the more it will affect the body .how do you assess the degree or quantity of pollution in most places ?? for example if you go in a polluted place for the first time and your eyes start to burn in 3 hours compared to if it burns in 10 minutes it is obvious that this last place is much more polluted of about 10 times more .so you can get an approximate idea of the quantity of pollution situation ..keep in mind that the symptoms are the best indications of the pollution presence . if it is very important try not to breathe directly and use a mask and if not available use a piece of fabric that you have on your body and put it in front of your mouth or nose and breathe Through it .and at least you will filter a part of the air and get better protection untill you get out of the place .very fast . now if the situation is chronic and you breathe everyday polluted air .then you will experience several health problems due to long duration of the exposition then you need more informations from other doctors like finding if possible the several causes of pollutants and try to avoid them or eliminate them .already you must know that it is man who create them .for instance most cleaning products ( clothes ground and windows paintings and how often they are used . also new furnitures contain toxic volatile compounds that stay emitting their fumes for months and years .also curtains and carpets clothes and fabric coming from China they use sometimes highly toxic products to protect them from the molds during their transport by sea in the containers .usually these go away after cleaning by hands and regular cleaners .sometimes they need to stay overnight with water cleaners. you can smell them or keep them a few seconds close to your face and check the effects on eyes or nose .you will learn very fast to detect them if their are still polluted or inoffensive .learn to smell all the new products that you buy and enter in your home .very often you will know right away if they are polluted ; most of them have a smell !!! learn to recognize them .if you find it is polluted and you intend to clean it meanwhile it will continue to pollute your home environment .what to do is to put it in a plastic bag closed hermetically so that it will stay contained inside and not around you . all these informations will help you to protect yourself and be more confident how to confront several actual society problems . and it may even save your life by avoiding dangerous conditions either solving them .or improving them .

      Active carbon filters are effective. The filter in your car is only effective when on slow speed because ,the high velocity of harmfull particles doesn't allow the active carbon to draw in particles. Wear a mask while driving and filter air in bedroom. You can't stop the pollution but you can reduce considerably what enters your body.

    Subject: Generating unlimited power-energy, without petroleum wells, pipelines, petroleum tanker vessels, offshore drilling rigs, plus without any pollution, oil spills, carbon monoxide, and other hazardous elements:
    I have ideas-solutions to solve energy crisis, problems with environment, how to have an economy without burning our air, atmosphere and destroying our nature. Healthy, self sufficient living environments and some other useful ideas, solutions with talent and many skills, I will appreciate if you could suggest me who would be interested in my concern and solutions on these critical cases.
    My solution could run machines being directly connected to them or connected to electrictric alternators to generate electric. It doesn't use any other forces to generate power, power being produced by design of the mechanism. It doesn't have to be anywhere particular, like high windy places, a special place for sun or where natural steam flows, or in hot or cold conditions. It could be in a car's boot or in a room in a house-factory. There is no noise, no filters for smoke, fumes or hazardous wastes etc. Total quiet and environment-nature friendly.
    With this project it's possible to generate unlimited mechanical or electrical energy include cooling and heating, without producing any dangerous wastes, carbon monoxide or other dangerous elements. Device is completely maintenance-carefree except changing it's lubricant per year or per five years like a car's gearbox. If It will apply to buildings separately from the electricity lines, generating power for homes-factories could be totally unlimited from any costs any dangerous-hazardous wastes. Same for transportation machines-vehicles.
    To Heal the Earth (Where Nature lost it's flora) and Agriculture
    Adding some extensions to energy device it’s possible to creating artificial rain, using hot or cold weathers, without using extra effort and budget. After storing enough amout of water, and cooling the sand-soil with this water with spreading it like rain; grass-plants should be planed in the sand-soil, and after that, a few different species of bugs should be spreaded that could live in the grass, a few small animals would eat those bugs and so on. It's possible to create a flora and a small life circle easily and repeating this circle in the same place for a while, air will cool down and it will be possible to see real raindrops on those infertile soil and farming and living there could be possible.
    For Buildings
    I have an idea-project to making building walls, in a very efficient, less cost, more flexible, more durable, more insulated, lighter(to move the entire house), cleaner and faster way. With this way it's possible to build two sided insulated walls in a few hours with one person for entire one floor house. No brick work, no concrete, no drywall-plaster work not even paint work (paint work for indoors and outdoors would be optional) everthing to build walls in one time. It's even possible to use same walls for recycling, or move the entire house to another location.
    For safety systems
    I have other ideas-projects to solving busy trafficking in cities-motorways and a safety cabin system for car accidents, which both solving busy traffic and safety cabin system ideas are for saving lives.
    Business idea: An economy based on feeding the nature with clean water and oxygen while Generating Unlimited heating-cooling-mechanical and electrical enenrgy, A/C without producing heat and healing the Earth where nature lost it's flora (infertile soil and deserts)
    I have projects and ideas that could create an environment which won't be depended on any sources. It can produce it's own self sufficiency. With this environment you can survive without depending anyone-anything, that no one can bother or it could be used as a secure base.
    I have many more of new ideas-projects like those above (which are the most critical) on different cases, such as, machines, machine tools, musical instruments, motor vehicles, airplanes and more. I have pages of drawings and 3D plans-modellings for my designs-projects.
    I can build all those ideas-projects by myself with my hands as prototypes, with precision and high qualities to test under your quality standards.

    Air pollution is a significant risk factor for a number of pollution-related diseases, including respiratory infections, heart disease, COPD, stroke and lung cancer.
    Think of environment. Not to destroy.
    Now number of vehicles & building are more then trees. We destroyed our nature & soon causes directly or indirectly to destroy the living organs. Many Lands, only by the politician converts green land to construct building. For them give money to eat, not food.
