How Hazardous Is Air Pollution?

[Viktor]

Its funny how people survive into their 80s and 90s in spite of air pollution, isn't it? The human lung is not as delicate as the liberal wackos claim it is.

I grew up back in the day when the smell of rotten eggs emitted 24/7 from steel mills and cars and trucks caused a tremendous stink on the highways and byways. When I was a little kid, people smoked everywhere- department stores, the A&P, in the hospital, dental offices. A lot of people burned fancy stogies all day long.

Yet, people got by just fine, and no one of my age is any worse for it.

I've smoked a cigarette while filling the tank at a gas station more than several times, and haven't blown up yet. It's harder than people think it is to catch gas on fire with a cigarette.

Air pollution causes or exacerbates a number of lung and breathing issues, and in some people it actually shortens lives. Unfortunately, the economic activity that produces air pollution creates tremendous benefits in our lives...electricity, transportation, heat and cooling, YouTube...so there has to be a balancing of physical harm vs economic benefit.

Thankfully, we have an army of self-appointed czars at the Federal and State levels who do what is right to regulate air pollution.

I believe it was the 1950s in London England air pollution was so dangerous that folks were told to stay inside it was thick yellow fog-type air pollution. It was some time before it cleared up. Great Smog of London - Wikipedia

for the last 30 years there has been a dramatic drop in smoking cigarettes, gee I wonder if that helps people live longer

We no longer have lead in our gasoline, not for the last 30 years, that has to make a difference

Catalytic converters cleaned up the air.

Air pollution regulations have cut pollution in all the cities across the USA.

Yes, it is cleaner now, than it has ever been, and it has made a dramatic difference in health.

Lung cancer rates have dropped for many years. Not so in the 70's.
