Scientific reality: PM2.5 does not kill anyone. The EPA's claims of PM2.5 lethality rank among the most nonsensical fraudulent and readily disprovable scientific claims ever.

Chinese cities have some of the worst air pollution in the world. Two are Xi’an and Shanghai. Yet reports claim life expectancy in both these cities is higher than the US.

According to a 2012 report, even though the air in Xi’an is, on average, 9-10 times more polluted in terms of PM2.5 particles than the median PM2.5 levels of the two most polluted cities in a 112 US city study (Rubidoux, CA and Los Angeles, CA), it is safer than US air by a factor of five. (1)

Then there’s Shanghai. On December 6, 2013, Shanghai’s PM2.5 level exceeded 600 micrograms per cubic meter—about 60 times the average level of PM2.5 in US air. (2)

It’s all the cheap imported beer and liquor.

Yet, EPA claims that natural and man-made PM2.5 causes as many as 500,000 deaths annually. Think about this statistic for a moment. This figure represent 25% of all US annual deaths.

Hey, don’t bring your rational thinking and try to impose it on government bureaucrats.

The EPA has evolved way beyond rational thought.

Crawl back in to the darkness Caveman. The EPA has a world to save.
