I just read about a new proof the other day that if you slice open an onion it will absorb any bacteria or viruses in the air. We obviously cannot completely clean out the air, but need to take measures to reduce oxidative stress on our bodies. Eating a good healthy diet, drinking plenty of water and making sure we get enough anti-oxidants in our daily diet is important to clear toxins. Exercise and improving circulation and oxygenation is also extremely important. And remember, it’s not only in the air but also what you eat. Many processed foods contain chemicals that can send our bodies into a tailspin. Read those labels when shopping!

moderate particulate pollution kills as much as murder and abortion yet EPA director does nothing instead going after Ozone. Particulates is more damaging, coal production is more damaging. why don’t they go after polluters who produce conditions which harm people, Its not just total pollution its the consistency a population gets it? Why did the censor my other posts. Go to craigslist.org and go to Philly politics for my blog links. Our epa director ignores some of the most important pertintent questions about pollution and protecting people Face it people in our gov are paid off and when people are made sick jobs for the health care are more important then protecting people. These are our role models ????

A mon avis le phenomène de la dégradation climatique n’est pas un fait du à la production industrielle de l’homme.
L’histoire nous enseigne qu’il y aura une fin du monde(la Bible :le soleil brûlera les hommes,et ces derniers insulteront Dieu pour cela…).

Air pollution does have an impact on human cells and can lead to many problems. 60% to 80% of cancer causing chemicals in polluted air around major highways and industrial activities come from particles put in the air as a direct result of diesel fuel combustion. The California Air Resources Board will be doing a webinar and presenting a presentation next month that will show a link between air pollution and cardiovascular problems. Both my father and grandfather died at a young age. Both were oil well drillers. My grandfather was drilling wells in Kern County before and after WWI. My father was doing it in California, Washington State, and overseas in the 1950s. They were working before there were any emissions controls. The power for grandfather’s wells came from coal and wood and for my father’s from diesel. I can remember some early trips to drilling sites and the strong smell of oil fumes everywhere. They both died of heart problems in their 40s. They did lots of smoking and drinking, too, but the environmental factors at the early oilwell drilling sites were not in their favor. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

It’s very important to be comprehensive about the oxidative stress,because this is the main cause of diseases,not only in lungs,also in a vary quantity of other organs.Breathing pollutig air,make to enter to general sistem,trhogouth the gaseose interchange to blood and then the particles strangers take contact with inmune cells,and this reacting producting substances that act recognizing harmful elements and treating to disipe them,but in any circunstances,this substances can be harmful per se.

Pienso que es muy interesante y valorable el esfuerzo que realizan en pos de la proteccion del medio ambiente y la salud de las personas en este planeta, pero, lamentab lemente los resultados de la ultima cumbre de medio ambiente de la que participaran los lideres del mundo, no acompaño esta importantisima tarea.
