The air pollution threat may be invisible, but it is real-we know it can
sicken, and we know it can kill," said Carolyn Wisniewski, Vice President
for the American Lung Association of Pennsylvania. Wisniewski estimated
that
about 400,000 persons with chronic lung disease and nearly 900,000 people
with heart disease were at special risk from air pollution in the 5-county
Southeastern Pennsylvania area.
"A large study released this month in the New England Journal of Medicine
documented that children living in polluted areas have a five fold greater
risk of decreased lung function," said Dr. Joel Chinitz with Philadelphia
Physicians for Social Responsibility. "This impairment occurred
independent
of asthma or smoking."

the goal when communicating is to rationzlize existence with truth and
facts and what is right coupled with getting what we desire (which might
not
always be what is right)
Facts are often hidden so rich control options
Sometimes feelings are not accurate and sometimes they are. Lets learn to
do
better based on truth, honesty and facts and the desire to do good
