The Silent Epidemic, Coal and the Hidden Threat to Health, by Alan H. Lockwood
"Why our dependence on coal-produced energy is bad for our health: a physician maps the connections of burning coal to death and disease."

"We will not find “exposure to burning coal” listed as the cause of death on a single death certificate, but tens of thousands of deaths from asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and other illnesses are clearly linked to coal-derived pollution."

“Coal-fired plants make people sick and die, particularly children and those with chronic illnesses..”

Slightly misinformed article from a consumer org about clothes dryer pollution. Most essential points are (mostly) accurate.

This Guardian article about clothes dryers' carbon footprint fails to note that dryers emit a lot of harmful carbon compounds.

Something to consider about using your clothes dryer...

Just one of many things.

The WTF of the day: in the 1950s a cigarette brand introduced filters made of the most dangerous type of asbestos. 😮

For the people who love to tisk at me for buying rather than drinking the tap water at the .

This is why, you dumb shits. But I guess enjoy drinking pee if it’ll save you $2.
