Kill Air Dirty

I hate to see pollution starting to pop up in places all over the world. L.A. California has seen its share of hazing phog that can kill. I heard about this early on, a friend of mine is vacationing in southeast Asia and he had to wear a gas mask at one point on his stop over. Air pollution is one of those things that could have been prevented if we would simply change the way we treat our environment. But we continue to make more and more cars that are not environment friendly like their is no tomorrow. Eventually, if we don't stop, its not going to be just L.A. and southeast Asia, its going to be everywhere there is a major city in the world.

Breathing dirty air may harm kidneys. Outdoor air pollution may increase the risk of chronic kidney disease and contribute to kidney failure, say researchers. Scientists culled national VA databases to evaluate the effects of air pollution and kidney disease on nearly 2.5 million people over a period of 8.5 years, beginning in 2004. The scientists compared VA data on kidney function to air-quality levels collected by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
