Pollution Kills 3,80,000 People every year!!!!

A study has determined that unseen and odourless microscopic particles of air pollutants wafting overseas across continents kill some 3,80,000 people every year.

Junfeng Liu of princeton University and a team of researches carried out the study. Exhaust from diesel engines, sulphur from coal-fired power plants, and desert dust swirl into an insidious cocktail of tiny particles that can suspend weeks airborne.

The most harmful are the smallest, less than 2.5 microns in diameter. When inhaled, they can irritate the lungs or pass directly into the bloodstream and damage arteries, says a report in Discovery news.
