The number of lung cancer cases in people who have never smoked is increasing. The disease is different from lung cancer caused by smoking, so what causes it?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,

Saved you a read.

Fuck electric cars, too. They are not the solution to the crisis we are in.
How so? What’s up with electric cars?
E-bikes are freaking awesome, especially with some proper infrastructure strewn about.

No, I mentioned it, after checking that it’s still one of the main sources of PM2.5.
