      XPost: talk.environment, sci.environment, pa.politics       XPost: alt.students       From: mcs@yahoo.com              increase of deniers on web                            even with more links from deniers like you who want to think that by       finding the one time the exact amount of illness of asthma is not linked to       pollution somehow suggests there is not a real cause for concern about       asthma and or respiratory disease from pollution , there is enough evidence       to show cause and affect. The problem is you can twist words and one study       to show no cause of concern but when everything is equal not only is there       cause of concern, its been proven in court. I think its much much worse then       what's been proven. Why after all these years they just proved it in court?       Its because they had so much money and power ( the oil and gas and car       companies lobbies) . So all these hospitals who say asthma is complex and no       association between pollution would rather hype meds instead ..But the       smartest and people affected who don't have money to promote commercials       with music in background,,,.know the effects between respiratory health and       illness and death and Pollution... EVEN, from a conservative supreme       court and state courts... they have shown cause and affect in court       recently. Now if you want to believe that people in Mexico city and LA are       thus safe from pollution affects because someone says they don't suffer from       asthma as much, you probably didn't compare rates of morbidity, rates of       illness from all illness, you probably had people there who were too poor to       go for treatment or didn't distinguish between adult onset asthma and       regular asthma or just plain respiratory disease. The numbers can be skewed       but this much I assure you.life itself, the association between pollution       and lost respiratory illness is one of the largest association of risk of       lost health in the world today and those affected.       respiratory              Can gov and science show effects from pollution from getting so few good       days of air? I bet my life they can if they wanted       to       where a state and city has higher death rates and illness rates and asthma       rates and pumping of medications and hospitals all day and night by       hosptials and health care,,.. and not a       lawyer in the land can't or won       t prove it or damages and why.. I know why              If you tell me a lawyer can't compare our health to others in clean air and       compare our       death rates and output and expsense towards of health care costs to clean       air states and deduct       conspiracy to poison people at least and or show harm, and at most the       conspiracy to poison and keep hidden from the people the effectsfrom       pollution ( car companies, diesel emission, coal production) then I say       something is not true or right.I remember there was a power outage and a       scientist sent inspectors in planes over PA and those most affected from       pollution ...and power plants and coal ... and showed the time the       production plants closed because of power outtages the air to be much much       cleaner,,, and this was suppose to show damages when these plants operate to       Congress. what happened to that study.. there could be much more studies       done too.                                   as you sit back and take for granted your clean air know many people don't       > have it.
