The air we\nbreathe is not something we think a lot about until something goes wrong. Gas,\ndust, particulates, and the balance of gases all affect both our breathing \u2013 or\nlack thereof! \u2013 and also play a big factor in visibility and personal safety.\nThe quality and composition of the air affects us on a personal \u2013 lung size \u2013\nscale, but also on a world wide scale as we feel the effects of climate change\nand atmospheric pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the fires in Australia, and as of writing a volcanic eruption in the Philippines and industrial pollution, it is getting harder to ignore the air around us. You can see the effects in my photo – of the sun through smoke in the morning. Even rays of sunshine through the window feel wrong, shedding a ghastly orange apocalyptic hue rather than cheer. How do authors incorporate the air into a novel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have evolved\nalong with the planet to be most comfortable with the air composition to be 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon,\n0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. That\u2019s not to say we\ncan\u2019t adapt\u2013 people that live in Nepal and the Andes have a larger lung capacity\nand a slightly different blood system to cope with the altitude. The book \u201cSurviving\nthe Extremes\u201d by Kenneth Kamler is a fascinating read for those interested in\nhuman survival in extreme conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But scifi characters can explore the differences every time\nthey open the air lock. From vacuum, to fetid oxygen rich jungles, and then\nplay with the effects of trace elements and oxygen saturation on the away team.\nHow long can they survive \u2013 and what tech do they use to detect it and protect\nthemselves? Tricorders? Nanotech? Androids? Inoculations? Space suits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an underground situation the air can go bad very quickly.\nVentilation is the key \u2013 a good, continued flushing of fresh air. Wiki article\nhere.<\/a> But people have know this for a long time \u2013 the practice of lighting\na small brand and sending it down a well was a safety precaution in Little\nHouse on the Prairie \u2013 with almost fatal consequences when ignored. This has\nevolved into the use of Drager tubes \u2013 glass tubes that colour change in\ndifferent atmospheres, as well as complex ventilation computer programs for\nlarge mines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particular gases underground can have various dangerous\nproperties, toxic , asphyxiative or explosive. Most are colourless, and many\nhave no smell either. Methane in coal mines is explosive \u2013 and also found in\nswamps where it can sometimes spontaneously igniting to give the ghostly dead\nman candles of legend. Carbon monoxide is lethal at low concentrations. Sulphur\ndioxide with its rotten egg smell. But its not only the immediate toxic\neffects, some can affect your lungs and health later on. Chlorine gas in WW1\nwas notorious for destroying lung capacity, even if you survived initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust and particulates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust and sand storms are shorter term events that present as\nan emergency. Protection of the skin, face etc is vital and often appears on\nmovies set in the desert such as \u2018The Scorpion King\u2019. I have a dust storm in my\nupcoming novel \u2018Rocky Road to Love\u2019 where the heroine has to rescue the hero,\nusing her past experience and practical skills in the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But particulates \u2013 fine dust, ash, tobacco smoke, biological\nones such as viruses and allergens such as pollen \u2013 these have some interesting\neffects on people and the environment. For more in depth info on particulates\nplease check out the Wikipedia\narticle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visually, pollution can colour the air \u2013 grey- brown-\norange- unnatural hues that give an unsettling feeling. Urban fantasy and near\nfuture apocalyptic books often mention the air, with tech developed to filter\nit, or the high price of bottled clean air. The appearance of a plume of smoke\nin the distance can be an omen of worse to come \u2013 volcano- forest fire \u2013 death is\ncoming. Auel used this several times very effectively, with Ayla using a forest\nfire to hunt, and becoming upset by the carnage, and also a volcanic eruption of\nash which fell, providing a scene of monochrome. Grey ash settling and\nobliterating people\u2019s differences was a powerful image at the funeral of Rydag,\na boy of mixed species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a close fire front, burnt leaves flutter down, and\nlater embers start new fire fronts. The dust and gases from a volcano can kill\nlong before there is any lava. Pompeii and Mt St Helens are examples of this. The\ndistance for observation seems fine \u2013 until it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of interesting things fall from the sky. There is a world of myth in rains of frogs, blood, fish and manna. Most of the rains of creatures can be explained (storm fronts, bacteria, acts of divine revulsion etc). Strange things falling from the sky take on the aspect of myth and become omens, portents of future disaster. Fear of the unknown or the invisible is fairly well hard wired into the human condition. Humans love seeing patterns where none exist. Or do they? An ancient story or myth can be the only way history is remembered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
