This information will improve your health and therefore happiness. It will increase how long you live - if you act on it! (if you adapt your behaviors)

The context is our environments - Failure to protect and save the planet's life support systems that we depend upon - is neither an intelligent nor ethical decision. That should be obvious! That should be common sense! But it's not! - on average.

It should be as "clear as day" that inhaling #CleanAir is healthy. That should be a "no-brainer!" (to use a colloquialism) But it's not! - on average.

What follows is a "snapshot" of the scientific consensus - the research paper's words are in quotation marks ". This is the information that many people don't want to hear about. The information that the polluting industries never talk about (they don't want you to know about because they make profits out of your ignorance)

What does the research say about the effects of Air \ traffic pollution? "The central nervous system is emerging as an important target for adverse [damaging] health effects of air pollution" (Costa et al., 2017 - see references section at the end of this toot for weblinks to the research papers)

"In particular, air pollution is emerging as a possible etiological factor in neurodevelopmental (e.g. autism spectrum disorders) and neurodegenerative (e.g. Alzheimer's disease) disorders. The most prominent effects caused by air pollution in both [human] animals and ]non-human] animals are oxidative stress and neuro-inflammation (Costa et al., 2017)

Air pollution negatively ("badly") affects the functioning of your brain! (Newbury et al. 2021).

Air pollution damages your respiratory system. Your breathing capacity, your lungs! (Samek, 2016)

"Overall human mortality [death] and morbidity [disease] due to exposure to air pollution.......Epidemiological studies have shown an increased respiratory morbidity and mortality as a consequence of exposure to air pollution" (Samek, 2016)

"studies reported that a 10μg/m3 increase in long-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with an 11% increase in cardiovascular mortality (Brook, 2008). Air pollution negatively ("badly") affects the cardiovascular system (e.g., your heart)

Truth - Inhaling air pollution quickens the onset of dying a painful death!

Smoking #AirPollution quickens the onset of dying a painful death! (dying younger)

I wear an anti-air pollution face mask as soon as I detect air pollution. That is the sensible thing to do. And yet - how many adults will say I'm the stupid one? (I've met quite a few) #arrogance

What does it mean when scientists such as myself - spend decades posting research about the health hazards of air pollution - and yet - the average person is walking, etc, about in air-polluted environments - and are oblivious to the fact that they are inhaling air pollutants - what does that mean? #ignorance #denial

By definition, ignorance is not aware of what its ignorant of.

When billions of individuals are ignorant, apathetic, or simply uncaring about something that is harming themselves and the environment - what do we call that? #ecocide

What happened to the idea of common sense?

This is why I am disgusted about the behaviors of the fuel industries. And why you will be too - if you're an ethical person. In other words, a good person.

The fuel industries are evidently owned by irresponsible, but rich, adults. In other words, "filthy rich" #oligarchs. Their industries are polluting businesses and they don't like to talk about it. Quite the opposite - they are the greenwashers #deception #fraud #liars #criminals

Internal Fossil Fuel Industry Memos Reveal Decades of Corporate Disinformation (Published Jun 29, 2015) <<< more facts that the average person simply doesn't want to know!

Something about their fuel-burning behaviors? "Maybe" that is why so many adults go "climate blah blah blah!" (not that they'd admit it) #HonestyHumility is a real virtue.

#climate "blah blah blah" is what liars do!

FYI - how does Putin predominantly fund his Wars? #NaturalGas #FossilFuels and #propaganda #greenwash

If decent folk don't get "it" after reading this - I don't know if they ever will! #ClimateCrisis #extinction

Of course - many people have to be ungreenwashed and informed to "get it". So, Please boost and show you care!

There is no such thing as #Smokeless #fuel - 20% less smoke, etc, is more smoke if 21% more people burn it.
