Summary

In the U.S. the number of people who have died from heart disease has reached a record high. The number of those who have been killed by heart disease in the U.,S. has reached an all-time high of more than 2.3 million.

Professor Robert Marsh from the University of Southampton said, "The sargassum beaching around Jamaica in late summer 2021 carried distinct traces of the volcanic ash that settled upon it around four months earlier" This will provide a body of evidence that could inform an international response to the problems it poses for people and the environment.
