Although the key external causes of these diseases were identified a long time ago (traffic and industrial air pollution), it had not previously been possible to distinguish clearly between these two factors so as to have a targeted impact on them. http://www.huliq.com/11/83823/industry-pollution-causes-respiratory-problems-children#comments Health Air pollution child health respiratory diseases Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:39:10 -0500 harminka 83823 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82492/air-pollution-level-during-2008-olympic-games-was-excessive Particulate air pollution during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing constantly exceeded levels considered excessive by the World Health Organization, was far worse than other recent Olympic Games, and was about 30 percent higher than has been reported by Chinese environmental experts – even though some favorable weather conditions helped reduce the problem. http://www.huliq.com/11/82492/air-pollution-level-during-2008-olympic-games-was-excessive#comments Science Air pollution Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:36:05 -0500 harminka 82492 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78783/how-air-pollution-can-cause-heart-disease We are used to thinking of heart disease as a product of genetic factors or lifestyle choices, such as what we eat and how much we exercise.
