Air Pollution, Drought Triples Cancer Risk Estimate for Cali Residents
2015-06-07 21:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sputnik: The South Coast Air Quality Management District said residents in southern California are now at the highest risk of developing cancer in the state. Following the state officials' report, these regulators approved new rules affecting their region which accounts for about 11,000 square miles inhabited by almost 12 million people including those in Los Angelas.

Low-Level Air Pollution Linked to Death
2015-06-05 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A team at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that death rates among people over age 65 are higher in zip codes with more fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) than in those with lower levels of PM2.5. The harmful effects from the particles were observed even in areas where concentrations were less than a third of the current standard set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). "Most of the country is either meeting the EPA standards now, or is expected to meet them in a few...

ScienceDaily: A new study by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that death rates among people over 65 are higher in zip codes with more fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) than in those with lower levels of PM2.5. It is the first study to examine the effect of soot particles in the air in the entire population of a region, including rural areas. The harmful effects from the particles were observed even in areas where concentrations were less than a third of the current standard set...
