EU says one in eight deaths is linked to pollution

[hunter]

One in every eight deaths in Europe can be linked to pollution, according to a new report by the EU's environment agency (EEA).

It said factors such as air and noise pollution, as well as poor water quality and exposure to chemicals, contributed to 13% of all deaths.

The report also noted that poorer communities and vulnerable people were the hardest hit by pollution.

That said it has got to be worse in the U.S.A..

1. I live close

To I 95. Can walk through a short strip of woods walk past a fence and than I can look straight down into I95.

Constantly I hear the traffic.

I think about getting an air purifier when I find allergens irritate my eyes. All that exhaust and fumes and chemicals put out by an interstate.. that will sicken anyone.

Yet my complex where I live is HUD.

Yep the rich just love fucking over the poor any way they can get away with.

I'm saving up for the air purifier because on SSI 200 bucks ain't cheap. I needed one that would cover the square footage as my apartment has 10 foot ceilings.

The filters will set me back 45 bucks every 6 months.

But at least inside my apartment the air will be safer to breathe and whatever I react to in the air will be removed.
Probably will have it by October/ November.

I shudder to think how polluted the air and water is out here.

But it's where I can afford to live.
