Cleaner shipping fuel is now mandatory as the Mediterranean becomes a low-emissions zone.

Ships in the Mediterranean must now use cleaner fuel with lower sulphur content, as the sea on Thursday becomes the world’s fifth low-emissions zone.

Reducing sulphur emissions is expected to improve air and water quality and benefit human and environmental health.

Today, I attended the first day of RESILIENCE 2025: A Groundbreaking Conference on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).

I am bolstered by the science, the advocacy, the push for accessibility standards, and the treatment options.

🍄Inoculating the Odd in AuDHD

🌷 It's spring! Instead of the elliptical indoors, I've been opting for a longer outdoor walk while calling someone or listening to an audiobook, possible by the later sunset time and warmer weather. I enjoy watching the woods change with the seasons. I missed some of the daffodils, but I did see Virginia bluebells and the honeysuckle smells great. At home, I'm leaving the windows open: enjoying the fresh air and the sounds of the birds (coming quite close up to my window!). Sometimes there are less pleasant noises (freight train squeaking as it slows down), but they are not continuous. Closing the balcony door again does a good job of keeping the sound out. With the pollen count is picking up again, I use the Air Matters app (iOS and Android) to monitor the outdoor air quality and pollen. I take my off-brand zyrtec and my azelastine nasal allergy spray (tastes terrible if it goes down my throat instead of up my nose). I've been using my airgradient to monitor indoor conditions, including increased humidity and improved CO2: as long as there's not a fire going on or if I'm cooking, but it's not very windy outside.

dashboard of my air gradient over the past week. the humidity is around 45%, when it used to be around the 35%, CO2 is at fresh air levels on average. Temperature is a much warmer 74 degrees rather than 64, and PM 2.5 occasionally spikes from cooking but has been mostly fine.
screenshot of a quick view from the air matters app of the air quality been green and good, while the pollen is high and red. There's also a note about outdoor particulate matter levels being good, a rain reminder, and warnings for the safety of outdoor conditions
