Abstract: WATER & AIR EXHAUST PIPES and power plants spew tiny particles 2.5 microns in diameter or smaller into the air we breathe. They used more than 20 different government health and pollution databases - including census data, EPA air-monitoring data and claims from 68.5 million Medicare enrollees - to compare heath records with pollution levels over time. "We looked all around the world for examples of where people have lowered natural sources of pollution leading to better health outcomes", says Sam Heft-Neal, study author and a Stanford University researcher.
