    An outdoor scientific or environmental testing facility featuring two large cylindrical chamber units mounted on white metal frames, situated within a fenced compound in an arid, high-desert environment. The equipment appears to be atmospheric or air quality monitoring/testing apparatus, with associated support equipment including control boxes, ducting, and solar panels. The site is set against a backdrop of mountains and partly cloudy skies.

    This is an educational infographic comparing the lethal doses of fentanyl and carfentanil relative to a penny for scale. It visually demonstrates that 0.02mg of carfentanil — shown as a near-invisible speck — is lethal to a person, which is far less than the lethal dose of fentanyl (2mg). The infographic also notes that scientists have identified a therapeutic dose of naloxone to reverse carfentanil intoxication.
