OPINION - Tech & Science Daily podcast: New York hits air quality pollution record following Canada wildfires

New York’s air quality remains in the ‘very unhealthy’ category, as more smoke pours in from Canada’s devastating wildfires.

The city continues to have the worst air quality in the world currently according to the Air Quality Index.

At one stage, it was more than 56 times over the World Health Organisation’s air pollution limit.

A heat-health warning has been issued for parts of England over the weekend as temperatures are expected to surge.

A yellow alert is in place from 9am on Friday until the same time on Monday, for London, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East and the South West.

A deadly ‘irreversible’ heart condition has in fact been reversed in a major breakthrough.

The study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, reported the cases of three men who were diagnosed - but then recovered from - transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.

And the rest

TikTok owner ByteDance accused of helping China spy on Hong Kong protesters, WhatsApp adding Twitter-like ability with new 'channels' feature, and a crackdown on firms marketing cryptoassets is to be introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Plus, a newly-discovered dinosaur may have been a ‘last gasp for its species’, scientists demonstrate wireless power transmission from space to Earth for the first time, and the ‘virgin’ crocodile who made herself pregnant.
