Profile photo for Franklin Veaux Q5 Doesparacetamol have any sort of medicinal benefits (besides the stated ones)? Canit be taken as a supplement? A5 Franklin Veaux Professional Writer Wed No. In fact, it’s quite toxic. (Well, technically, themetabolic byproducts are toxic, but six of one…) It is a mild painkiller and anti-inflammatory hampered by the fact itpoisons liver cells. Normally your body produces an enzyme that mops up thetoxic metabolites, but it’s still a poison and youdon’t want to take it regularly if you don’t have to.

A6 2 Answers Neha Zacwadh, Manager at Stock Exchanges(2017-present)Answered Thu A UV water purifier exposes living organisms, such as bacteria, viruses,or cysts (like Cryptosporidium and Giardia) to a germicidal ultravioletwavelength. With enoughenergy, UV radiation at the 254-nm wavelength disrupts the DNA in pathogenicmicroorganisms so they cannot reproduce. The ultraviolet lightprevents bacteria from spreading disease through drinking water. UV dosage is the measurement of energy (in mJ/cm²) delivered by a UVwater purifier. The more dosage provided, the more energy delivered to treatcontaminated water. At a certain threshold, this energy becomes sufficientenough to inactivate most of the microorganisms present in water. What does a UV disinfection remove? UVdisinfection deactivates living organisms, but it does not remove particlesfrom water, add chemicals, or remove bad tastes and odors. UV disinfection treats water for: Cryptosporidium Giardia Dysentery bacilli Salmonella Mycobacterium tuberculosis Streptococcus E. coli Hepatitis B Cholera Algae Fungi Some viruses 2ND ANSWER RiyaMehra, Sales Manager at Blogger (2019-present)Answered Thu In the range of water purifiers, you will find that there are different filtrationtechnologies available in the market starting from RO, UV to UF,which will undoubtedly make the water fit for consumption.

A12 Amy Chai MD, Internal Medicine, MS Epidemiology Mon Congestion. The air pressure equalizes on both sides of your eardrum. The insideportion of this pressure equalizer is inside your nose. There is an openingcalled the eustachian tube that runs from your nose to the back side of yourear drum. When you “pop” your ears to adjust to flying in an airplane ordriving down a big hill, you are feeling the pressure equalize around your eardrum through opening the eustachian tube. When your nose is stuffy, your ears can feel stuffy or “underwater”because that tube is swollen shut due to snot. A little allergy or inflammation can cause a problem with crackling orpopping too much. Sometimes you can get a fluid built up behind the eardrum, oran ear infection. It is good when you can pop the ears because it means you arenot too congested. All the above QA are based onQuora digest on 30-07- 2021.
