The Journal of Epidemiology: Linking Air Pollution Nanoparticles & Incident of Brain Tumors
Science and modern biochemistry have all kinds of answers on the brain and human health, but scientific knowledge alone can’t stop air pollution. Those studies can make citizens aware of how compromised we are. They can let us know that air pollution is indeed a threat to the brain’s and body’s core functions. But humans must act on this knowledge to make it truly useful.
Another Electric Vehicle Benefit: No Direct Exposure To Cancer-Causing Benzene
Some people say they like the smell of gasoline, but that sweet odor they are talking about is probably a chemical called benzene, which is a known carcinogen. The World Health Organization, an international public health agency associated with the United Nations, has written this statement about the chemical: “Benzene … [continued]
30 Reasons To Buy An Electric Car … Today!
My increasingly good friend Paul Fosse wrote an article yesterday giving 5 reasons to buy a Tesla before July 1. At the end of the article, he linked to a 2016 article of mine that I had forgotten about. It’s a simple listicle but it’s actually one of my favorite articles.

In 2016, it was titled, “30 Reasons Your Next Car Should Be Electric.” At this point in time, I think it’s more appropriate to say that you should buy that car today, not wait any longer. Hopefully you’ll agree after reading through this list.

Humans are a funny type of people. We don’t do long-term planning all that well, and that includes planning for a year out, for 5 years out, and for our eventual time of death.
Investigating The Air Pollution Crisis (State of Pollution Series)
The term “air pollution” has become so ubiquitous that when anyone hears those words, they have an understanding of what they mean. To a degree, it is an accepted fact of the modern world that the air we breathe is contaminated in some way, but most people don’t realise the severity of the problem, the effects it can have on health, or the potential there is to combat the ongoing epidemic. In a series of articles, CleanTechnica will be examining the issues surrounding air pollution in more depth, and this first article will act as an introduction to some of the main issues.
California Adding Glyphosate (Active Ingredient In Roundup) To Official List Of Cancer-Causing Chemicals, Effective July…
The US state of California will be adding the widely used herbicide glyphosate — the so-called “active ingredient” in Monsanto’s most popular weedkiller, Roundup — to its official list of chemicals that are known to cause cancer, according to recent reports.
Gas Cars Much Dirtier Than Expected
For years, the conventional wisdom has been that pollution from diesel engines was far worse than from gasoline engines for two reasons: First, diesel exhaust fumes are known to contain nitrous oxide emissions. Second, they also contain particulates, small molecules that are too small to see. Both are believed to cause serious damage to human lungs.
Study: Occupational Exposure To Sanitizers, Disinfectants, Deodorizers, & Sterilizers Associated With 65% Higher Risk Of…
Those who work with common chemical disinfectants, deodorizers, sanitizers, and sterilizers are roughly 65% more likely to develop thyroid cancer than people who don’t, according to new research from Yale University.
