Human life is fragile; so much so that even something as thin as the air can
snuff it out.
†. Isa 40:6-7 . . All flesh is grass, and all its kindness is like the blossom of
the field. The grass shall dry out, the blossom shall wilt, for a wind from the
Lord has blown upon it; behold the people is grass.
According to a report released on March 25, 2014 by the World Health
Organization; air pollution kills, on average, seven million people per
annum; and is linked to one in eight deaths (12.5%) world-wide. Think of it.
That percentage represents 896,406,900 deaths linked to air pollution per
annum out of a currently estimated 7,171,255,200+ people.
An estimated 4.3 million people died in 2012 as a result of indoor air
pollution, mostly from cooking inside with coal or wood stoves in developing
countries, according to a report by th public health agency of the United
Nations.
Air pollution is so lethal because it exacerbates other conditions like cardio
vascular diseases, cancer, and respiratory illnesses. Were people with those
conditions permitted to breathe clean air free of hazardous chemicals and
toxic particulates, they would live longer.
Pop Clock Update: 787 days have elapsed since beginning the thread. If the
figures in post #1 are within reason, then something like 43,360,552 new
arrivals have checked into the fiery sector of hades since Apr 12, 2012.
