This method is called solar-radiation management (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SRM</span></a>) scheme or simply Solar Geoengineering. SRM has been suggested to be affordable and have high effectiveness compared with other geoengineering schemes that have been suggested to mitigate global warming. While sulphate aerosols are the most studied, it has been recently shown that aerosols with other compositions, aluminium oxide (alumina) and diamond, could be used to dramatically increase the amount of light scatter achieved on a per mass basis. Alumina particles formed after the alumina aerosol injection are more efficient scatterers and may have less severe technology-specific risks than sulfates. Thus, they are expected to be more efficient per unit mass for geoengineering applications.</p><p>&quot;Nevertheless, it has also been suggested that SRM has a low associated safety compared with other geoengineering schemes because of its possible effects on regional climate, stratospheric ozone, high-altitude tropospheric clouds, biological productivity, and global biodiversity. We want to add a possible severe effect on Global Mental Health that could be caused by using alumina as light scattering.</p><p>&quot;The average residence time of a particle in the lower stratosphere is approximately 1-2 years. After eventual transport into the troposphere, alumina particles undergo relatively rapid mixing processes by weather events, turbulence, and cloudscale overturning. They are mostly removed from the atmosphere by dry deposition, sedimentation, or scavenging by clouds, finally polluting the environment.</p><p>&quot;Aluminium has often been regarded as not posing a significant health hazard if the human body burden of aluminium has increased. Nevertheless, epidemiological studies suggest that aluminium may not be as innocuous as was previously thought and that aluminium may actively promote the onset and progression of Alzheimer&#39;s disease. This condition is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60 –70 % of cases. In 2015, dementia affected 47 million people worldwide (or roughly 5% of the world&#39;s elderly population), a figure predicted to increase to 75 million in 2030 and 132 million by 2050. Recent reviews estimate that each year nearly 9.9 million people develop dementia globally; this figure translates into one new case every three seconds. Even prolonged exposure to low levels of aluminium leads to changes associated with brain ageing and neurodegeneration.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alzheimers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alzheimers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Toxic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Toxic</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1150/rr-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1150/</span><span class="invisible">rr-1</span></a></p>
