"This report summarizes the findings of the Abt Associates study, reviews the contribution of power plants to fine particle pollution, and discusses policies that will reduce power plant fine particle pollution and thus save thousands of lives. Key findings include:



* Fine particle pollution from U.S. power plants cuts short the lives of over 30,000 people each year.

* In more polluted areas, fine particle pollution can shave several years off its victims' lives.

* Hundreds of thousands of Americans suffer from asthma attacks, cardiac problems and upper and lower respiratory problems associated with fine particles from power plants.

* The elderly, children, and those with respiratory disease are most severely impacted by fine particle pollution from power plants.

* Metropolitan areas with large populations near coal-fired power plants feel their impacts most acutely - their attributable death rates are much higher than in areas with few or no coal-fired power plants.

* Power plants outstrip all other polluters as the largest source of sulfates - the major component of fine particle pollution - in the U.S.

* Approximately two-thirds (over 18,000) of the deaths due to fine particle pollution from power plants could be avoided by implementing policies that cut power plant sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide pollution 75 percent below 1997 emission levels.



Fine particle pollution is responsible for increased risk of death and shortened life spans. Abt Associates' findings are based on a body of well-accepted scientific work on the health effects of fine particle pollution. The discussion at pages 12-16 of the report contains an extensive review of the scientific studies used by Abt Associates linking fine particle pollution to death and other health damages."

loppuu sillä sekunnilla kun niin päätetään. Vikuroiva ydinvoimala on hieman toinen juttu, minkä varmaan Fukushimassa joku voisi sulle nyt kertoa kun siellä taas leiskat nousee jostain rakennuksesta ja loputkin reaktorit on lämpeämässä.
