        This is about premature deaths & doesn't say anything about years of life lost. Wars are about premature deaths of 20somethings

        #air pollution is a very serious environmental problem, but nobody gains from this type of misleading hyperbole

        So why is the Forest Service burning millions of acres in the eastern deciduous forest which don't often burn naturally? bad pollution!

        Thought of this when I saw the guy standing with leaf blower outside door to children's hospital. Air pollution hotspot.

        Just what Scott Pruitt's changes at the EPA will do for the USA. Particulate cocktails anyone? You don't realize the improvements until lost

        There was a gas mask in my Shanghai hotel closet. Not sure why but the air is very bad.

        Let's talk about mainstream food supply as well. I bet it kills more people than pollution and wars combined. Only... slowly... very slowly... and then they wonder why god made them suffer for cancer!

        Very sad fact. But it doesn't really bludgeon life out of someone! Don't be irrelevant. Stick to pollution which is a serious issue !

        Sir, hunger, and not pollution, kills MORE people. Only thing is that, those dying of hunger are not classified as human beings :-(
