Opinion: Think About the Air You Are Breathing -- by Tom Allin
-- Click Here for More Info --
A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine and reported in the Wall Street Journal (not exactly a liberal publication) this past February states: ·Older women living in the most polluted cities had about a 150% increased risk of death from heart attack and stroke. ·The danger arose from a type of soot that is generated by burning fossil fuels. This study focused on the most deadly kind of soot which is a by-product/generated by burning gasoline, diesel, and coal. Based on this study, breathing now has almost the same impact as being a smoker!
