Diesel fumes’ nanoparticles cause heart disease by just BREATHING polluted city air

Similar to how cigarette smokers suffer health consequences from the toxins that are carried into the lungs on particles of tobacco, a recent study has shown that tiny nanoparticles carry black carbon diesel fumes into the lungs of people who are exposed to them. Diesel fumes, commonly pushed into the atmosphere via the exhaust from heavy-duty trucks, […]

People who shoot at indoor ranges found to have shockingly high blood levels of lead, the heavy metal used to make bullets

New research calls for the phase out of lead bullets at shooting ranges as long-term exposure may lead to serious medical conditions. According to the researchers, lead fragments and fumes are released every time shooters fire their weapons. As a result, shooters inhale the fumes, while lead residues stick to their hands and might be inadvertently ingested […]
