A tempestade Lee enfraqueceu e se tornou um ciclone pós-tropical no momento em que se aproxima da Nova Inglaterra e da costa atlântica do Canadá, neste sábado, produzindo ventos com força de furacão que derrubaram a energia elétrica de mais de 100.000 pessoas. O Centro Nacional de Furacões dos EUA disse, em seu alerta mais recente, que o Lee atingirá a terra neste sábado e estava a cerca de 365 kms ao sudoeste de Halifax, Nova Scotia, com ventos sustentados máximos de 130 kms/h.

Take a deep breath ... now consider, for a moment, the chemical compounds that have filled your lungs. As most of us know, air contains just the right amount of oxygen (21%) and nitrogen (78%) to allow aerobic life (like you) to flourish.

Yes, tiny bits of organic (carbon-containing) and inorganic (non-carbon containing) solids and liquids are floating around you every moment of every day.
