Mostly because scheduled narcotics must be prescribed by companies that, for mostly political reasons, don’t want to supply it for that purpose, and then must be administered by medical staff whose expertise—for all sorts of reasons, is hard to come by in the American prison system. Also because experience has shown that the use of such drugs—even in cocktails meant to overcome their deficiencies, are a messy way to do the job.A better question is, why don’t they just use nitrogen for executions? The answer, I fear, is scientific illiteracy.In today’s political environment, no drug manufacturer is going to willingly supply drugs for execution, nor do they need to. I’m not passing judgement on capital punishment, but if you want to kill someone humanely, there is a very simple, inexpensive, and foolproof way to do it.Seal the execution chamber except for vents near the floor that open to the outside.Lead the condemned into the chamber and seat him or her on a nice comfy recliner.Remove all persons to remain living from the room.Pump the room full of nitrogen, using a volume sufficient to flush all the oxygen out the vents.Wait a few minutes.Open the vents and force fresh air through the room until its volume has been changed a few times.The human body can’t detect lack of oxygen, it can only detect excess CO2. When you place a person in a non-toxic, oxygen free gas, they can’t detect anything wrong. There will be no sense of claustrophobia, no sense of lack of air or inability to breathe. They simply pass out, and a few minutes later, they’re dead.It happens all the time in industrial confined space accidents.All a state needs to use it for execution is a carpenter with enough common sense to make sure nearby spaces are well ventilated, and a truck that can haul a cask of liquid nitrogen—a cheap industrial material readily available everywhere in the developed world. You’ll also want to heat the nitrogen to speed the process and prevent creeping out the condemned with a spooky chill fog.That’s it. Or you could use helium. That would cost a lot more, but the condemned could die smiling at the silly sound of his or her own voice.So there you go. I’m no expert, but I can see no technical problem with this procedure. Again, I’m not saying the state should or shouldn’t have the power of capital punishment, but I can think of no more practical, humane, and economical method, if anyone wants to put a bug in the ear of the Arkansas Department of Corrections.Edit: It has come to my attention that as of this date Alabama has become the third state to adopt nitrogen asphyxiation as a method of execution. So there you go. Science for the win. Or whatever. I guess.Edit edit. It has also come to my attention that several Swiss citizens have obtained legal permission to commit suicide by inert gas asphyxiation using a mask or plastic hood pumped full of helium.Hard to get too excited about this helpful use of technology—unless it’s someone you love and they’re in pain.If you like science—and its occasionally disturbing implications—you might enjoy my free award-winning scifi sampler.

I. Am. Speed.Hello boys and girls!Welcome to another episode of:“What f*cked up situation is Joseph in today?”In this episode, we have a tale of gluttony, inhuman speed, and heartbreaking loss!I'm a foodie.Duh, all Filipinos are. ;)And part of that description is trying out noteworthy restaurants / carinderias / shops within my local vicinity — and budget.Lo and behold!I was referred by my junior resident to a local restaurant that served up great Indian cuisine for a very affordable price!(Ye Ol' Inner Cheapskate squealing in delight)I enter the building, and the strong aromas of various spices immediately assault my nose and tastebuds.Good God, I'm drooling!Upon being seated, I flipped open the menu, and just went crazy.Sampler of three types of curry? Check.Samosas, yup!Chicken tikka masala? Heck yeah!Biryani? Bring it bro!Hence — the gluttony that was heralded prior.Big friggin'mistake.Epic meal it was indeed!And I gladly tipped the staff, because I was surprised that the food was good, and the service was even better!So much for being a cheapskate.I was going home via a commute, when I felt something was amiss.(Wild gurgling bowel sounds ensue)Wait, what?!(Gurgling intensifies)Suddenly, out of nowhere, an involuntary pip came from my rump.Did I give my permission for said repugnant emission?Most certainly did not!This led me to conclude one thing.I could tap into the Speed Force!I was in dire straits.My sphincter muscles cannot withold the gaseous buildup my lunch has boiled down to.And now, I'm running for my life to reach the nearest toilet.All while trying not to combust or make a mess in the process!Every step was excruciating, that I felt the chunks just slide down in my gut faster.And the gas?It kinda lifted me a foot off the ground with each, uh, passing.Call it afterburn, if you will.I reach the toilet in the nearby minimart.I shut the door, disrobed, and sat in rapid succession.What follows?Well, Elsa sings it best.Business was done.I've exorcised myself of my colonic demons.I look up to find the toilet paper.Holy cr*p with a halo on top!There's no truer heartbreak than finding this sucker empty after going number two!Bad timing? Heck yes!Poetic? Meh, you be the judge.Panic started to settle in.I take deep breaths.Reassess the situation.C'mon Joseph — this in an emergency… think!(Ting!)I reached for the back pocket in my pants.Somehow, (by some weird habit of being a cheapskate) — I've placed extra paper napkins in the back pocket from my Indian escapade!Hallelujah!I escaped the dilemma of going commando, or worse — being found stuck in the cubicle by the janitor at midnight!So, moral of the story?Always keep extra napkins in your back pocket.Hey, you'll never know.When sh*t goes down, you’ve gotta have brown!Thanks again for the A2A Sean!Image Credits:(1) Google Image Result for https://www.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Lightning-McQueen.jpeg(2) Google Image Result for https://i0.wp.com/berlinlovesyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Indian-13.jpg?fit=2048%2C1435(3) Google Image Result for https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/1200x680/public/wire/legacy/flash-wait-so-the-storyline-for-cw-s-the-flash-ended-in-episode-1-the-flash-spoilers-villains-look-ahead-new-trailer-breakdown-1748x984.jpg(4) Google Image Result for http://i.imgur.com/5PBD6Pj.gif(5) Google Image Result for http://www.freeimageslive.com/galleries/home/bathroom/pics/no_toilet_paper.jpg(6) Google Image Result for https://miro.medium.com/max/2600/1*K0w6c8Mv7V80iwgWjSK0Zg.jpeg(7) Google Image Result for https://www.missiontotalsupply.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/kn-f1213-1k_01.png

You are too general when you said 'the level of pollution'. One can't find out the levels of pollution by just measuring one or two parameters.Pollution can be of many sorts such as Air Pollution, Noise Pollution, Water Pollution. Each will be measured based on a number of parameters which effect the human health and ecosystems when present at levels higher than the permissible ones.Air Pollution is measured through parameters such as Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) which can be measured through a 'Dust Sampler' and gases such as Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Ozone, Carbon Monoxide which can be measured through one of the various gas samplers.Water Pollution is measured through parameters such as Total Solids (Dissolved & Suspended), Hardness, Turbidity, Fluoride, Iron, Sodium, Potassium and many more.Each parameter has a different standard procedure on how to measure and what the respective limits are. Here are some links if you're really serious in asking your question.Guidelines to measure Ambient Air PollutionStandards/ Permissible Limits (Air)Guidelines for Water Quality MonitoringStandards/ Permissible Limits (Water)PS: All links are taken from the website of Central Pollution Control Board, India.
