in comparison to 1.5kg of the food consumed and 2.5 kg of water intake. Hence it is obvious that the quantum of pollutants that enter our body through air would be manifold in comparison to those who taken in through polluted water or contaminated food

It's no surprise that burning trash is a massive source of air pollution; in fact, a study estimates that more than 40 percent of the world's garbage is burned, releasing carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, mercury, particulate matter, and other toxins into the air


Air pollution has many sources — cigarette smoke, automobiles, and industrial chemicals are only a few things that pollute the air we breathe. Let’s look at 8 crazy facts about air pollution you probably haven’t heard about.

BPA (Bisphenol-A) is also invading our air and it’s not going away. ^[1] In 2013, for example, industrial plants in Deer Park, Texas, emitted over 4,100 pounds of the endocrine disruptor. ^[2] As more and more chemical companies use BPA to make plastic stronger, the toxin is constantly released into the environment. Some think the lungs and skin also absorb BPA, which is a serious issue because the body does not metabolize the compound.]]> 2017-03-03 20:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jadapad/kbhi8xtq14at/wish/157740444 jadapad https://padlet.com/jadapad/kbhi8xtq14at/wish/157740625 The Environmental Audit Committee of UK’s Parliament recently argued that air pollution brings almost the same death toll as smoking. The committee even wants to phase out diesel cars because they’re the biggest part of the problem. Just how much pollution are we talking about? Around 46% of carbon monoxide, 42% nitrogen oxides, and 26% particulate matter all comes courtesy of these engines. ^[3] As pollution becomes an extreme health crisis in the UK, it makes you wonder if it’s reached that level in America. Have we just not acknowledged it?]]> 2017-03-03 20:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jadapad/kbhi8xtq14at/wish/157740625 jadapad https://padlet.com/jadapad/kbhi8xtq14at/wish/157740801
It’s not only the air outside; household air is often terrible. The World Health Organization even weighed in and released a report that highlighted the dangers of burning fuels like coal or kerosene. The WHO also called for changes for appliance emissions. ^[4] While this is a bigger issue in low- and middle-income countries, gas or kerosene space heaters–something many Americans use–can also be part of the problem.  While airtight spaces only contribute to the problem, recent evidence suggests they not only affect your physical health, but also your mental state. ^[5] Workers in windowless rooms had poorer sleep habits and lower overall qualities of life than their counterparts. ^[6]

This becomes a big issue in larger cities with more pollutants; in fact, in a study of over 200 urban and rural women aged 30 to 45, pollution from city life added as much as 10 percent to perceived aging.]]> 2017-03-03 21:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jadapad/kbhi8xtq14at/wish/157741579
