Though this is unlikely to have been
the cause of my bp, in browsing the net
i saw many articles (some from CDC) on
the effect of pollution on the CNS, resulting
in mental illness. That was interesting.I also just got the BMJ articles on health,
and saw this article of interest (anyone):http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/short/333/7571/722-f?etoc
"Air pollution is a major threat to health, says WHO
Geneva John Zarocostas
The World Health Organization says that its new guidelines on air quality could help save as many as 300 000 lives around the world each year. The guidelines call for much tougher standards for emission levels of pollutants in cities.
“By reducing air pollution levels we can help countries to reduce the global burden of disease for respiratory infections, heart disease, and lung cancer which they otherwise would be facing,” said Maria Neira, WHO’s director of public health and environment.
The agency says that air pollution continues to pose “a significant threat” to health worldwide and is estimated to cause more than two million premature deaths each year. More than half of this disease burden is borne by people in developing countries."..... more
I think that people would rather die, than
give up their cars though, and changing the
50s public infrastracture would result in
a revolution.Squiggles
