Certainly the air pollutions are rising up all over the globe, and true is some comments warning that this is not only imported pollution, but 'home made' as well.
But this is only diagnosis not the cure.
I do remember the smogs in UK from 60-ies when the sulphuric acid was making the holes to the female stockings: SO2+H2O=H2S03 that was not innocent at all, but at that times many were heating homes by coal which thermal decomposition produced SO2(and other compounds...)
But this pollution is of different type!
The sulphuric acid can certainly cause damages to the breathing system,that are irreparable damages.True is that once crude particles entered the lungs, there is no way to get them out, most of them are remaining in the lungs life long.
The vehicle gaseous are not innocent either.The old gasoline with tetra ethyl lead was poisoning us by lead, the 'unleaded gasoline' leaves behind the chloro- benzene that is carcinogenic. So what we did?
Exchanged the one harm compound by the another.
We can not influence the wind blows in this or that direction, Sahara sands gets to Europe since Sahara exists.
But we can influence vapors and fumes from the factories,refineries, incinerators for simply there are the filters that could be placed into chimneys and reduce pollution. But, they say, they are expensive.
Then, means, our health is cheap???!
And please, do understand that this pollution will get to the soil, the rain will rinse it from the air and we will get the nice clean, fresh air, but polluted soil, into the soil we will throw seeds and eat food: from polluted air we got polluted soil and polluted waters...
Therefore this problem goes around and since we will not come to conclusion we have to reduce environmental pollution to the possible low level, we will not make any progress in protection our health, health of our children and their children too...
My question is: if Sahara sands can get to the UK, how far can get GM pollen from maize fields, soya fields, oil rape fields etc...
For the pollen is far easier by weight then the sand.
