Pollution is killing tens of thousands of people every day around the world and is a major killer everywhere, even places we think of as safe. It causes respiratory diseases, can change how our DNA functions, and may cause dementia. How unsafe is the pollution we can’t see?

    I'm sorry to hear that,and hope you win your battle with lung cancer. Your more then likely right about how you got it. The hospital only treats the side affect of cancer the tumors, and not the reason that people got the tumors. With most cancers people can change their life styles, and habits to beat cancer without radiation , chemo, and surgery. I'm not sure if those types of treatments work when the air is being poisoned, but The Gerson Therapy has helped many people that were sent home to die because the doctors no longer could treat them. I've read ,and seen the proof that it works. Look into it if you want too. Eitherway best of luck to you.

    I grew in Wisconsin, USA. I would travel way up north from Milwaukee where I grew up. The air was beautiful. This was when I was a kid in the 70's. The pine trees let off a magnificent smell. It was glorious. I will never forget it and I believe every person is entitled to clean fresh air. Its sad sad to see this documentary. I moved to LA California in the mid 80's and experienced smog for the first time. And thats in America where we are experiencing so called "better" air than other countries. I feel for these people.

    I volunteered at a hospital from 2015-2017 in Las Vegas. People often ask why are people in the hospital? I said, it is 90 percent breathing/lung problems. 10 percent dialysis for diabetics. The air is very bad in Nevada. (Lived in Chicago in 50s-70s & Los Angeles for 36 years). Had to quit smoking almost 25 years ago the air is bad. Without air, a person dies in 3-5 minutes. THIS IS A PRIORITY.

    A friend took my husband and me on a trip to Vegas about 26 years ago. At the time, I was about 6 weeks pregnant. Every time I went outside, I got sick. The air caused me to have terrible nausea. I had to stay inside the buildings and breath that recycled air to avoid nausea. When we flew inti Vegas, we could see the orange smog hanging over and in the city. We were told it gets stuck there between the mountains. I wouldn't be able to live there with my COPD.

When he was a child, he was in his bedroom of our home, and as I am walking in the front door, he yells "please don't bring it in the house". It was a scratch and sniff chocolate valentine sticker in a bag I held in my hand. We learned to respect his sensitivities. The smell of vinegar was really bad for him, so we did not even use ketchup around him. Do you have any advice for parents of such kids? That would make their lives better?

    @@peacenow42 Hi Sunny Bob, its helpful to reduce all chemical/synthetic smells around the home as much as possible. I use natural organic products based around woods, herbs etc like cedarwood, sandalwood, eucalyptus, fresh picked pine cones, cinnamon, cloves, patchouli, lemon balm, lavender, rosewater and teas. I place organic oils in a bowl of water on the windowsill, and organic scented candles etc. I stay away from sprays or any strong smelling products like bleach or general household air fresheners. I use organic fragrances, and I hold my breath while using talc, perfume etc. I use organic soap, shampoo, hair oils, toothpaste etc, and avoid hair sprays. I'm careful not to inhale any flour when baking, and developed a habit of holding my breath for long periods until I find safe place to breathe fresh air, such as an open window. In the early mornings I like to eat outside, as the fresh air refreshes my soul as well as my body. I live alone in the countryside, just five minutes' walk from the ocean, so I walk there every day to enjoy the calming, salty oceanic air. I feel quite choked up when I go into a house with any kind of animals inside, as the smell is overwhelming despite being quite normal for most people. Consequently I no longer have pets. I love animals and grew up around them. I don't have any allergies etc but my adult children are allergic to house dust and cats. I didn't mind wearing a mask while shopping during Covid19 as I noticed it protected me a lot from the general smells outside such as when you walk past a shop, or a person with aftershave/perfume, and vehicle emissions. I try always to shop at the quietest times of the day. Anyway I hope that helps you! All the best from England 🇬🇧 💝

Took a train from delhi to agra, people pooping on train platform and even on stairs next to someone sleeping. After agra I went to varanasi to visit the ganges, people were pooping into the river, then i find out the hotel washes all our linens in the same river and dries them on the steps. The air pollution was so bad i had migraine every time i step outside, he's right you can literally smell the metallic taste and the air was heavy with pollution..if you walk outside, come inside and wipe the walls with your finger...you leave a trail of black grime on the wall. I love dear india so much, i watch bollywood and indian drama almost exclusively, dreamed of visiting india since i was a child...i never expected it to be so extreme over there.

Imagine if when you stole something from somebody and get caught, you we're released and allowed to live you're normal life while alive and that you would be punished for you're theft once you we're dead though......how well do you think this would stop theft by people and deter them from doing it everyday if they had no consequences to worry about until they died? I think it would cause alot more theft to happen everywhere then happens already by quite alot.....same is happening when it comes to companies polluting today and it's why everyday we add more polluting factories, power planets, and burn more fossil fuels and air pollution rises each day and has made the pollution higher today then ever in Earths history even though we've known about carbon and green house gases since the 1970's.....and all we've done about it in that time is wasted 50 years trying to convince the Religious among us climate change is happening and we need to change our ways.....when they we're never going to be convinced anyways or bother worrying about it because their diety will save them from whatever it brings upon us. The reason we have taken no steps to change our ways is one half of the population is trying to convince the other half of the population to get involved in combatting this, when they have no reason or motivation to do so. Ever noticed there isn't any climate change activists trying to warn the rest of us about what climate change that are Religious followers of any mainstream Religion? (in fact they do the opposite and oppose or go against anything legislated or attempted to make law that tries to combat carbon emissions and pollutants. There's an obvious reason for this as I just explained and the fact most of these polluting companies are run and owned by people of Religions or conviently pretend to be Religious because it works to their financial advantage

    I live in Riverside, California, which is 50 miles east of Los Angeles. During the 1970s the air pollution from Los Angeles alone was visible on the western horizon. By 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon the fouled air was so intense that we could not see the mountains that were only 15 to 20 miles away. If we did any work or even play outside, we would suffer the effects of the smog which caused internal pain within our lungs! The problem with air pollution was eventually addressed by State regulations on businesses and automobiles. Today we can see the mountains, and we can breathe without the pain. But we still live here with a problem that was never completely eradicated!

    Finally! This is what everyone needs to be taught early on. The air you breathe is 2x more important than your genetics. That is what experts are saying now because they understand that even if you have good genetics, meaning you're not predisposed to certain diseases, the environment and air you breathe in can change that. It happened to me. As someone who suffered a minor traumatic brain injury inflammation from breathing in toxic mold as well as endocrine and nervous system damage ( and 25 symptoms known as CIRS) I learned the hard way because no one ever told us that what you breathe in goes directly to your brain. The mold was hidden in the HVAC. Keeping your sinuses clean is very important. Great natural products for sinuses and dealing with mold are at microbalance health products.

    When I was 4, my mother moved from the city I was born to another (same state), that had once been a booming industrial city. Soon after, I was diagnosed w asthma. The nurse told us she developed it when she moved there as well [ I should note, I was born w eczema]. The many trips to hospital, ambulance rides where a paramedic told us most die on their way to er. My lungs are much better now, for a few yrs I had no symptoms and no need for medication, my Dr (not to rain on my parade) told me asthmatics are never cured, you'll always have diseased lungs. In 2012 my ex and I* went on a weekend getaway, whilst away we went hiking in a forest. My lungs felt different, it was as if I didn't have asthma, I breathed like I would imagine normal lungs operate. It was incredible, I wondered if even the wild life there was healthier! It'd be interesting to know what air quality was across the globe during first year of pandemic.

    The dangers posed by crop dusting are well known enough that the EU banned the practice years ago. The US does not. Part of the justification is different land use: European countries have a lot of smaller farms close by to populated areas, while the US tends to have vast areas of farmland with unbroken by any residential areas. Fewer people to poison. If you do happen to live next to a field though, sucks to be you. Enjoy your cancer. Sorry, but your health is less important than maximising economic productivity.

So it may benefit your dad to do things to reduce it. And I'd assume mechanics are exposed to heavy metals, so chelating with dmsa and alpha lipoic acid could help

It's when we run to the City to do shopping where we get to breath more polluted air. Luckily, though, the prevailing intense storms and wind help somewhat to keep the junk out of the air.

    Many years ago when I worked at the Cleveland Museum of Art (the 1980s), they decided to abate all of the asbestos in the building. When the project was finally completed they reviewed the data recorders they had set up from the beginning in key locations throughout the buildings. Come to find out they had unusually high ppm counts of asbestos in the north lobby - the main entrance. Guess what? Hundreds of cars stopped in the front right there every day to let people out to enter the Museum and then proceed to park their vehicles down the way in the lot. Every time a car braked & came to a stop, its brake pads scraped and shed asbestos particles into the air! Wow, a real eye-opener for everyone... I understand the material composition has since removed asbestos from brake pads - yes?

    As a kid, I was born with asthma and dealt with it all my life. It's like you become your own air sensor. You know how thick the air is or what particles are floating in it. Sometimes it's not so bad, other times it's literally a trigger and airways say "run" so you seek out a better place or something. The main thing as a kid and even an adult is that you can't just remove or remedy the situation always. Nobody listened to me as a kid nor as an adult when I would tell them things about makeup, hairspray and the like. Some cleaners obviously, etc. Then there's riding by asphalt being laid and such. Just the faint smell is enough at times. Then there's the issue where we are so inundated everywhere with the issues that we just give up and accept that that's how it is because we're powerless and nobody listens or cares about it because we need certain things for our society or whatever the case may be

    That's partly because of the introduction of catalytic converters. They don't actually stop cars emitting pollutants, but they change the chemistry of the pollutants into a less-damaging form. Electronic engine control also helped - it lets the engines run more efficiently, and produce less particulate pollution. It only happened because of regulations though - this isn't something that car manufacturers did voluntarily.
