[edgtf_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”#d6a67c” background_color=””]P[/edgtf_dropcaps]rimarul de la Sectorul 6 face ceva, deci exista. Zilele trecute cautand ceva pe Google, am dat peste un articol in care domnul Mutu povestea cum a dezinfectat sectorul rapid si ieftin. Foarte mandru domnul primar vorbeste despre solutia ingenioasa de a folosi perhidrol. Super tare ideea!, imi zic eu pe fuga. Apoi, avand mult timp liber, am citit un pic despre acest perhidrol. Pana la urma sunt femeie si imi tot vopsesc parul de multi ani. Am multe ore de stat la coafor sau vopsit acasa. Stiti si voi ca scrie mereu pe tuburi sa te misti repede cu aplicarea substantei dupa realizarea amestecului fiind o solutie destul de instabila. Cam asta stiu eu si de la orele de chimie despre perhidrol.

Bun, dar avem Google si Wikipedia pentru clarificarea substantei. Am mai scris despre afinitatea mea pentru aceste unelte, si multumesc ca unii si-au consumat timp din viata sa construiasca “enciclopedia pentru lenesi” ca mine. De acolo imi reiese ce stiam si eu: substanta aceasta este instabila si se transforma repede in apa si oxigen. Apa oxigenată este utilizată ca antiseptic sub forma unei soluții diluate. Ea este capabilă să elibereze oxigen gazos. Este indicată datorită capacităților sale de curatare a plăgilor cutanate benigne. Atomul de oxigen din apa oxigenată tinde să fie eliberat foarte ușor. Oxigenul este toxic pentru agenții patogeni ceea ce face ca apa oxigenată să fie foarte eficientă în neutralizarea acestora. Deci cumva domnul primar a facut un fel de oxigenare a sectorului. Admirabil in contextul inexplicabilei poluari identificata zilele astea! O solutie ieftina, de 1 leu / mp care poate scade si nivelul de poluare pe care il produc in continuare santierele, rablele, praful nematurat din sector sau gropile de gunoi.

E ciudat ca tocmai zilele astea, cand sunt putine masini pe strada, avioane aproape deloc pe cer si multe afaceri sunt inchise, observam cu tristete ca strazile sunt mai prafuite, cosurile de gunoi dispar, iar praful este peste tot in zona. Avem patru santiere in zona casei, poate de aia avem si atat de mult praf pe strada si in casa. Bine ca ne-a venit un pic de oxigen cu ocazia acestei initiative de dezinfectare. Totusi imi e dor de parcul nostru si verdeata si copacii proaspat infloriti din Moghioros. Parca in acele plimbari uitam de praful de pe strazi. De fapt cred ca nu era asa de mult praf pe strazi. 

Cred ca zilele astea domnul primar mai are de rezolvat probleme mai vechi: masinile vechi parcate pe langa blocuri – 4 numai in jurul blocului meu sau santierele care lasa nisip, moloz sau chiar bucati de polistiren sa iasa din perimetrul lor. E un moment prielnic: e toata lumea acasa deci autoritatile pot vorbi cu proprietarii si pot duce rablele la REMAT. Zilele trecute imi zburau prin fata niste bucati de polistiren de la un santier din zona. Copilul a fost amuzat ca zboara un cub mare pe deasupra lui, dar eu nu am ras deloc. Si prin orasul meu vad tot mai multa mizerie pe jos: manusi, masti, nisip, resturi de constructii. Este trist!

Inteleg ca traim aceste vremuri ciudate in care toate autoritatile din lume sunt depasite si nu stiu ce sa faca, dar hai sa ne pastram orasul curat macar ca pana acum. Si da, sustin ca e important sa fim impaciuitori si ascultatori, dar sa judecam totusi cu atentie ce putem si ce nu putem sa facem – noi personal sau autoritatile. Ma gandesc sa achizitionez o masina de curatat strazile ca sa dau un exemplu domnului primar. Oare putem face fiecare cate ceva in iesirile noastre pentru activitate fizica? Dar poate gaseste domnul primar ceva la fel de ieftin ca oxigenul din perhidrol si o sa putem sa ne facem activitatile in liniste. 

District Measures

[edgtf_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”#d6a67c” background_color=””]T[/edgtf_dropcaps]he mayor of our 6th district gets heard from time to time, so if he is doing something, therefore he exists. The other days while looking up something on Google, I ran into an article where Mr. Mutu was telling how he desinfected the district quick and cheap. He was quite proud to announce the genius idea of using hydrogen peroxide. Very cool idea!, I said to myself on the run. And then, having some more free time, I read a bit about this hydrogen peroxide. After all I am a woman and I have been dying my hair for many years. I have also many hours of staying at the beauty parlor or  doing it myself at home. You also know it’s always written on the tubes to move fast with the application of the substance once the mix was done as it’s quite an unstable mixture. That is also what I know from the Chemistry hours.

Good thoughts, but we also have Google and Wikipedia for clarifications. I wrote before about my sympathy for such tools and I am grateful some people used time of their lives to build the „encyclopedia for lazy ones” like myself. And that’s where I got what I already knew: the substance is unstable and it quickly turns into water and oxygen. The hydrogen peroxide is used as antiseptic as a diluted solution. It is capable of releasing gas oxygen. It’s recommended due to its cleaning capacities in benign superficial wounds. The hidrogen atom from the hydrogen peroxide tends to be easily released. The oxygen is toxic for the pathogens which makes the hydrogen peroxide efficient in neutralizing these. So mister mayor did a sort of oxygenizing of the district. The district measures are admirable given the inexplicable pollution from the last weeks! A cheap solution of 1 leu / square meter which may reduce the pollution level we keep having from building sites, old cars, un-dusted streets or the landfills.

It’s strange that especially these days, when there are less cars on the streets, almost no airplane flights in the sky and lots of businesses closed, we sadly notice how the streets are getting dirtier, the garbage bins disappear, and the dust is everywhere in the area. We have for build sites around the house, maybe that’s why we have so much dust on the street and in the house. It’s good that we get a bit of oxygen from this initiative to disinfect. Still I miss my days in the park and the green grass and trees from Moghioros. Seemed like in those long walks I would forget the dust in the streets. Actually I don’t believe there was that much dust on the street.

I believe these days mister mayor has lots of old problems to deal with: old cars parked next to block of flats – there are four only around my block, the build sites which let sand, debris or even styrofoam pieces fall out the sites. It’s a good time to deal with such: everyone is at home so owners to the old dusty unused cars can be easily found and the remains can be taken to be recycled. The other day I had some blocks of styrofoam fly in front of my eyes from a build site in the area. The kid was really happy by a flying cube, but I didn’t laugh at all. And in my walks I always see dirt on the ground: plastic gloves, face masks, dust, other construction debris. That’s so sad!

I do understand we live these strange days where all authorities in the world are overwhelmed and don’t really know what the right path is, but let’s keep the city clean at least as much as we had so far. And yes, I support it is important to be peaceful and listen well to measures, but let’s also judge what we can do or can’t do ourselves – individually or by authorities. I am so revolted that I am thinking of buying myself a car to clean the streets and give an example to the mayor. I wonder if we can all do something in our individual walks? Or maybe mister mayor can find something as cheap as the oxygen in the hydrogen peroxide and we can mind our own business quietly.
