A large body of evidence indicates that forms of air pollution harm long-term health. This is largely epidemiological data, observing correlations with incidence of mortality and age-related disease in populations exposed to different levels of pollutants. A number of regions of the world exhibit, through happenstance, very similar populations that are exposed to significantly different levels of particulate and chemical pollutants. Consider studies covering the Puget Sound in the US or parts of China. These natural …
