[Free Report] Air Pollution Kills Even When It Meets Air Quality Standards |

A stunning revelation in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that air pollution kills even when it meets air quality standards. Data from 1986 to 2015 showed an increase in the number of deaths linked to air pollution - the deaths were from heart and breathing problems.
The study was an analysis of 652 cities in 24 countries and regions cross 6 continents for a period of 30 years. It is the largest study of its kind so far. Air pollution has already previously been linked to increasing cases of and exacerbating already existing cases of respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. The question now is: have we set our air quality standards too low? If so, why, and how can that be changed? How do we stop air pollution?

Hi Yvonne!
You chose a good point.
Often people think everything's good if we satisfy the standards.
But it's time people should think about the standard itself.
I hope you see your next report!

Hey there Yvonne,
I hope you are well, it is so shocking to know that even before our birth, air pollution was already exacerbating existing cases of respiratory diseases. And so far, I don't think the standards put in place will be changed, unless this ground breaking piece of information in made public to the world.
Thank you sharing this Yvonne!
Warm regards,
Rosa
