I'm in a hurry, so I'll spare you the commentary, for now. But the cutouts below offer more than a starting point for discussion. He died of cancer more than poor diet smog. [...] rates, said Professor Veronesi, are clear: urban pollution can be charged from 1 to 4% of tumors, food as much as 30%, while another factor of high risk is infection, which goes back 18% of cancers. [...] conclusion on the risk of cancer, Veronesi explained that "30% of cancers are linked to food", and the real dangers, rather than in the exhaust pipes of cars, are hidden in worrying levels of carcinogenic aflatoxins and mycotoxins in the polenta and milk.

Pollution 'killer' in many parts of Italy: there are over 8 thousand, in fact, deaths that occurred between 2002 and 2004 in 13 cities in the beautiful country for the long-term effects of harmful substances from atmospheric particulate matter (PM10) and ozone. It 's the key finding from a new study entitled' Impact of health of PM10 and ozone 'conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO)-Regional Office for Europe on behalf of the Agency for Environmental Protection and Technical Services (APAT), presented today in Rome at the seminar of Health 'public about air pollution, urban transport and health effects. [...] survey data WHO - explains the statement - refer in particular to mortality due to long-term effects attributable to PM10 concentrations above 20 mg/m3 limit the Community Directive 99 / 30/EC indicated for 2010. Between 2002 and 2004, an average of 8,220 deaths per year were due to long-term effects of such high concentrations, equivalent to 9% of mortality in the 'over 30' from all causes excluding road accidents. New knowledge available on the health effects of PM10 allow you to 'break' the impact of mortality for chronic effects over 20 mg/m3 in lung cancer (742 cases / year), stroke (2562), stroke (329 ). Even for diseases of the numbers are high and include bronchitis, asthma, respiratory symptoms in children and adults, hospital admissions for heart and respiratory diseases that cause loss of working days. But the study also takes into account the impact of ozone, it is estimated to cause 516 deaths annually in the Italian cities, in addition to those due to the PM.

I could not find even a scrap with the declaration of the outstanding Prof. Veronesi about eighty thousand deaths a year in Italy, caused by smoke. My thanks to those who want to give me information.
