Air pollution kills around 200,000 Americans each year even when pollution levels remain below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's current guidelines, a report published in JAMA Network Open has found.
A team of scientists identified nine causes of death associated with exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), including three not previously recognizedchronic kidney disease, hypertension and dementia.
Cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes, lung cancer, and pneumonia also contributed to the count.
PM2.5 are pollution particles (or droplets) equal or smaller to 2.5 micronsa size so minuscule it is roughly 30 times smaller than a strand of human hair, according to the New York State Department of Health. Exposure to PM2.5 has been linked to several health conditions, including psychiatric disorders, mental health disorders (including depression), dementia, emphysema and lung disease. There is also evidence that it is making us less intelligent.
In this study, researchers found lower income communities and black Americans were the worst affected by high levels of PM2.5, while counties in "swaths" of the Midwest, Appalachia and states like Ohio, Louisiana and Missouri had some of the highest rates of deaths linked to air pollution.

Deadly! People drown in it. It’ll drive you to drink.
Good one!!!
They take turns. Sometimes alar in apples relieves them.
Everyone of fighting on either side of our civil war and world war I has died.
The captain of police has died
Through having lost his life.
Not very long before he died
The poor man was alive.
Victor Hugo wrote that, so it must be true.
Re: “Around 200,000 Americans Die Every Year From Air Pollution That Meets EPA Standard”
What are their names?
Actually I do not think air pollution is actually something that s to be medically listed as a COD, as it kill indirectly, though that is what Covid-19 usually does.

NOTE: Number of deaths reported in this table are the total number of deaths received and coded as of the date of analysis and do not represent all deaths that occurred in that period.
*Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction, age, and cause of death.
1Deaths with confirmed or presumed COVID-19, coded to ICD10 code U07.1
2Percent of expected deaths is the number of deaths for all causes for this week in 2020 compared to the average number across the same week in 20172019. Previous analyses of 20152016 provisional data completeness have found that completeness is lower in the first few weeks following the date of death (8).
3Pneumonia death counts exclude pneumonia deaths involving influenza.
4Influenza death counts include deaths with pneumonia or COVID-19 also listed as a cause of death.

Is that really the only option?
Just bulldoze the whole damned thing.
Yes, for them I believe it is. They have no concept of compromise, they have no concept of the law of diminishing returns.
You are either on their side, or you’re somebody who believes everyone should be forced to drink acid and suck their oxygen from diesel exhaust pipe.
There literally is no in between with them.
To answer that question you need to read more of the article, as well as to try to figure how this statement could be made:
I went into it thinking pollution is color blind," co-author Dr Ziyad Al-Aly, Director of the Clinical Epidemiology Center at Washington University in St Louis, told The Guardian. "Actually, pollution itself does discriminate."
Theres only one person who ever got out of here alive.
Enoch and Elijah.
Everyone else died at least once.
The clowns from Newsweak should visit a large city in China. I have been in Beijing when the tops of the buildings downtown are fuzzy due to all of the pollution.
Are they still made by Playtex?

They should go back to coal and wood smoke.
Good thing we have reduced it over the daces then. Cleaned up our rivers and lakes too in most places.
I wonder how they feel about China’s air quality?
Yes, besides Enoch and Elijah.
