Asphyxia (from Greek a-, "without" and σφύξις sphyxis, "heartbeat") is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally. An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs.

what would happen to the UK if the volcano Katla erupted?
Q. would there be a state of emergency and mass evacuation? Would we all die of asphyxia if we stayed? Who would be most affected? Would ash from it kill domestic animals, ie.. cats,dogs,cows sheep,fish and fowl.Would crops be affected if the sun could not penetrate the ash cloud? This is a serious question,only serious answers please.

A. <> The last eruption in 1918 suggests not. The UK somehow survived the experience without widespread death, destruction etc. <> There could be some temporary effect on the climate, and that could influence the growth of crops.

Now it is confirmed the Pakistan cricket coach murdered, how will this affect the sport in Pakistan?
Q. Jamaican police have confirmed Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer was murdered, as post-mortem results showed he was strangled. More than one person could have been involved in committing the murder, police said. The official post mortem report revealed "Mr Woolmer's death was due to asphyxia as a result of manual strangulation". After referring to Woolmer's death only as 'suspicious' for most of this week, Jamaica Police have now begun calling the case a murder investigation. Woolmer's body was found in his hotel room on Sunday, March 18, less than a day after Pakistan's controversial loss to Ireland in the cricket World Cup.

A. im sure that the sport will be affected but only on a minute level compared to the overall view...cricket is a huge sport and is not only a sport for recreation, but part of a deep cultural background for many countries...though this is a tragic loss Pakistan will hopefully will not be dealt with such horrible news as this and move on to realize that sports do not need to separate nations , but yet bring them together
