probably from secondary smoking, carcinogens in your home, like radon, sprays,etc.
Air pollution, both from cars and from gas stoves, is also a big factor.
Absolutely not second hand smoke not in more than a one off, that is a scapegoat for pollutants. Radon, sprays, exhaust, yes.
You get lung cancer they go through the list, oh you are around someone that smokes? There it is, case closed. There is no pushback on it either like there is from blaming pollutants as a cause.
Life expectancy increases, increasing population with 80-year record number of non-smokers, genetic factors, autoimmune activation, and a brief mention of PM2.5 particles.
Saved you a read.
brief mention of PM2.5 particles.
So tyre and brake dust, wood fires/stoves, badly-controlled industry, and so on. Don’t underestimate this stuff. Replacing the burner with a heat pump really eased my asthma, so lord knows what it was doing to my lungs.
tyre and brake dust
Fuck electric cars, too. They are not the solution to the crisis we are in.
E-bikes are freaking awesome, especially with some proper infrastructure strewn about.
I should point out the article OP linked didn’t mention PM2.5 directly, but one of the articles this one linked to did; focusing on women’s health specifically. They did not cite tire and brake dust specifically, not to say it is or isn’t a factor, but briefly touched on an all-encompassing “environmental” catchall and moved along. It was not discussed more than a passing mention.
They did not cite tire and brake dust specifically
No, I mentioned it, after checking that it’s still one of the main sources of PM2.5.
I bought a portable air filter/purifier. I’m not convinced the carbon sheet is grabbing that much of the truly bad stuff but at least the particulates should be caught in the main filters. My house is pretty small and just scooping the kitty litter makes a noticeable dust cloud in the sunlight.
But not in The USA, since ‘The Crazy Don’s first-term,
As I have only recently adapted my belief in wanting to just worry about living as healthy as possible as long as possible, to what predictively expected of both & what was actually happening & whay? Also need to know what the factor of expected-predictable possible life expectancy & more importantly quality of life is & how failed to reach both, even if still increasing in both. That is not good,
Probably dying of less other shit before they get old enough to get lung cancer.
thats for smokers, people in thier 30s and 40s are getting the non-smoker kind of cancers.
The article mentions that this is especially occurring among younger people, in their 30s and 40s.
seems like its the same for colon cancer as well, and breast cancer, which are often more aggressive than the typical ones you get in your 50-60s yo
