So it's the big cities where the cars are...




some 2.1 million deaths per year result from just one particular form of atmospheric pollution: fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, which is emitted in car exhaust and smokestack effluent....

The darker the coloration the greater the death rates, with the darkest coloration indicating death rates as high as 1,000 deaths per 1,000 square kilometers.
One can easily identify vast regions in Central/Eastern Europe, Southern and Northern India, South/Southeast Asia, and most of Japan as having the darkest coloration. These areas typically include highly populated, extensively urbanized areas.

Areas colored blue (Southern US, mid South America) represent more positive trends where reductions in smog and other particulate pollution (mostly from agricultural burning) have been dramatically reduced since the 1850′s. Sadly, there are very few such regions, globally speaking, perhaps due to the lack of air quality laws.

So people in the Southern U.S. live longer due to air pollution?

No, they'll just be breathing better as they eat themselves to death.

HA! You've noticed that too? What is it with sweet tea here? I had a single sip of some of "Bojanlges' Famous Sweet Tea" and it was like tea tasting kool-aid.

Disgusting.. I don't mind a little sugar but my god.

lol @ the fatties!
I only order, or buy non-sweet tea. The sweet tea is for people that want instant diabetes. My god!

unsweetened tea all day long here. Wife doesn't like the taste of it, but I'd like to keep my pancreas functioning for a good 5-6 more decades. lol

There's a big shit stain right over India and I guarantee it smells like curry.

This map may be 100% true.

Anyone that has flown into Mexico city through that stinky brown air layer and or spent some time there knows the pollution scale should be over one jillion on that map. The canary died or is on a respirator.

I'm calling bullocks on it.

Is created to spread silly local ordinance laws around.

The transition lines between the two colors are much too rapid around the mason dixon line and the Northeast.
