Exposure to air pollution on city streets is enough to counter the beneficial health effects of exercise in adults over 60, according to new research led by Imperial College London and Duke University. Our research suggests that we might advise older adults to walk in green spaces, away from built-up areas and pollution from traffic.

Air pollution, and fine dust in particular, is calculated to contribute to more than four million deaths each year. While the mechanisms by which air pollutants cause cardiovascular events is undergoing continual refinement, the preponderant evidence support rapid effects of a diversity of pollutants including all particulate pollutants (e.g.

Rolling coal is also illegal, of course, because it involves deliberately modifying a diesel engine to make it more polluting (while also increasing horsepower, so it’s not all bad). But first I wanted to talk about climate change deniers, and how remarkable it is that they still exist. And I think that needs to be repeated.
