People survive with the help of air. We can survive without food and water for a day or even a week. But we can’t survive without air more than a minute. But, why do people don’t give importance with it? How can we survive for a longer time if the air we breath is not safe at all? Anyway, this post of yours provide awareness to all readers that air pollution can be the reason too for health hazards. I hope people will know its importance before it’s too late. Thank you for sharing,

It makes sense when we think of the body like a car that air pollution causes heart problems. Almost common sense.

The pollution that makes it past the air intake “lungs” moves straight into the engine “heart” and into the fuel system “bloodstream”.
Our lungs were not equipped to deal with air pollution (since air pollution is unnatural).
The likelihood that the pollution stems beyond the lungs and the heart is a high probability. (As if heart and lung disease were not enough to deal with)

Air pollution is a major problem contributing to heart problems, asthma, cancer. Our CaliforniaEPA presented a study late last year or early this year that did show people exposed to air pollution on freeways for 2 hours or more a day had some heart problems as a result and difficulty breathing. People who live near major freeways, ports, railyards seem to be sicker than those who are further away. One CalEPA study showed pregnate women who lived close to busy freeways had more misscarriages than those who didn’t. The big public health problem in air pollution for California is diesel particulates from diesel engines of trucks, locomotives, construction equipment and boats. This is another reason to switch to hydrogen fuel and hybrid hydrogen-electric powered vehicles. I am also very glad you talked about how important air pollution regulations have been to improving and lenghening life. That is a message that absolutely must get out and often. Here, our Clean Air Regulations are under attack by some newspaper editorialists and some conservative talk show hosts as the causes for the state’s economic downturn and if more pollution regulations are put in thousands of jobs will be lost. Thousands of new green jobs will be created but that is another message that is not getting out. So all any one hears about for the most part is how bad air pollution regulations are and how dangerous they are to the economy. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

Lives are difficulties, and fully challenges….. So, the human hope will stay in heaven. There are happy. There are enjoy and is beloved by The God. Is there any disease ? Maybe ya, maybe no…. The God is correct! If to see, here, the people much prayers and much money or they are poor but much prayers, so both of them, there, have contracted diseases. And finally, in the paradise, the God to allow(?) many people sick….!!!!
