Or do you trust your governemt? I say they are literally killing
people here faster and I think I can prove it ! My first paragraph
should be my last paragraph but I want people to understand why I
tried to warn them first and then read why I think the NE and most
definitely Philadelphia area is dangerous and polluted for
famlies.This air registers this poison by constricted lungs, and then
I saw the links to damages. This constricted lungs don't happen
anywhere else. Why do they poison this area and do they poison this
area? Read on and tell others. I need someone to help me tell others ,
others that care and love their family members . I don't want to reach
the so many people who are angry at me or in denial many great things
in America but for some unknown reason, people can't get good air the
majority of time in this area and our news media and politicians don't
seem to care if our load of consequences undermind our total existence
here. There are even lots of people who find my messages very
bothering, which of course is a sign of insecurity because they
realize all this might be true or how they learned to live with it
( drinking or smoking or acting out or other non healthy things ). I
wonder if everyone here and politicians understand there is a
healthier side to better health and correlated better everything else
in other places. The solution is not to move necessarily but to
realize that in order to sustain changes here you have to assume that
things happen without a friendly tv news person or politician warning
you of changes. It takes rational concerned people to correlate all
the horrible health consequences and violence that happens here to a
new better policy concerning the environment.
The most amazing thing to me is the possibility that gov knows all
this and lets it happen. I am not sure why other then they desire to
let people self destruct faster in some places if we can attain energy
instead. I probably won't post here much more and instead concentrate
in other areas of the net. I urge all Philadelphia residents who
assume the 34 power plants, the horrible health consequences links I
have left, the possibility that this area is like slow holocaust that
instead of smoking more or taking drugs more, to either write their
politicians nationally or locally or to move. I am not going to keep
doing this myself here antaganizing people who knew no better or
whatever, because that was never my goal. At some point I am going to
move on and hope someone and some group fights to see the connections
between our horrible air quality and the problems facing Philadelphia
I can provide my thoughts based on everyone I knew in my life and all
the links I gave about the probable dangers and my own reactions
physically while living here compared to most other cleaner
places. .If people told me these things growing up and knowing I don't
trust the status quo I would have gotten the hell out of here like
thousands of others have already after seeing those links.
I can suggest people get poisoned here and there is a conspiracy to
hide sooo many bad consquences to ones health like I mentioned below
that don't happen to most other people at least not as often. We seem
to get sick faster and every conceivable bad thing faster here health
wise and still people can't seem to connect the dots why that is or
for news re****ters to care or politicians to do something!!!!! Or I
should say the people who don't connect the dots seem to wanna stay
here . The people who do , some will leave mANY WILL NEED A DOCTOR
EVEN FOR THEIR KIDS ALLOT. Whats the end result? Philly quality of
people getting better and smarter and educated and healthier with more
optimism? Absolutely not, just the opposite!!! More crime in fact most
crime, most illness for respiratory disese or close, most depression
most cancers for kids, and I can go on and on. Calling people ***** on
the net 24 hours a day, they do well here YEP Do you realize people go
out in cafes and actually get good quality air that makes them healthy
and people have tons more optimism then they do here .You want a
discussion there, they are happy to discuss change and revel in
wanting to know truth and making changes. Here ? lol too much truth
ruins the idea of a happy life! or getting high or staying in denial!
Here depression , being in denial, mean spirited, and lies from news
people and asthma, commercials for health care and violence and s****ts
are often a precusor for complete devasatation from lost health..
Instead of worrying about me worry what the REAL affects that are
harming for your family here MORE compared to other cities. 35 coal
plants and no new real ways to counter the pollution which already has
been proven by lawyers by the way that does harm , will keep
attracting the wrong kinds of people who won't make this city any
better, You can count on that[/quote] with everything you got and on
top of this, they didn't tell you the percentage of clean air days in
Philly has dropped greatly in just three years. We now get less then
15 percent of our time in clean air (full days)..That means 85 percent
of the time its not clean and many people say moderate is the point
when damage is proven. Millions will die prematurely because of
pollution across the country, thismuch has been said by experts
already . Would they tell you if the majority of people here are
affected more often? NO but they are!

In. 2007 we were second worse in nation and year before first worse in
the nation for asthma and worse for respiratory illness and death... .
most depression then every city in nation, an area with most childhood
cancers, most prescribed meds was for asthma, most missed days for
school kids was because asthma, most hospitalization for kids was
asthma,,900,000 people at risk for heart disease because of pollution,
400,000 at risk for respiratory disease because of pollution, 5 times
worse risk for respiratory disease, then average, where people have
much more cancer and heart disease, where - Pennsylvania's power
plants are worst in the nation for arsenic emissions and are third
worst for lead and chromium emissions, according to a study released
locally by Clean Air Council.Pennsylvania's coal-fired power plants -
two of which are in the Philadelphia suburbs - produce most of the
state's 5.7 tons of mercury emitted each year. Pennsylvania is second
behind Texas in the amount of mercury released from power plants and
other sources, such as factories, and accounts for 10 percent of
mercury emissions total nationwide, according to 2003 federal
data.Mercury is a toxin that is incredibly dangerous. It is basically
***ulative, in that once it gets into your body, it stays there, and
just keeps building up, and leads to all sorts of bad outcomes. Of
course, industry is -surprise!- against this. This is another reason
why nationally they don't have to worry if they can impose the
pollution on certain regions if the rest of the country gets better.
The worse things are except for some groups of lawyers who try to keep
suing, most people in our area ignore the implications . Philadelphia
is a city that has the fewest days or one othe most fewest days of
clean air then every city in the nation and it gotten worse in the
last few years. We use to have something like 30 percent good air days
( full) now its like 18 percent of the time. and this year its even
worse This is another reason asthma is so bad . They don't have to
tell you that fact they just say we don't have the most pollution .
Finally we have the most crime then every city in the nation,
Americans in Eastern U.S. Breathing More Soot, while Stricter Local
and State Controls Drop Pollution in West
NEW YORK NY, May 1, 2007=97For the first time since the American Lung
Association began issuing its annual air quality re****t card, data
reveal a split picture along either side of the Mississippi River, as
particle pollution (soot)=97the most dangerous pollutant=97increased in
the East but decreased in the West, while ozone (smog) decreased
nationwide from peaks re****ted in 2002. The number of counties scoring
an A grade for ozone levels increased from 82 in 2000 to 145 this
year, but particle pollution levels show an ominous trend, with F
grades nearly doubling in just one year, according to American Lung
Association State of the Air: 2007.
=93The increased particle pollution in the East is a particularly
troubling trend, because exposure to particle pollution can not only
take years off your life, it can threaten your life immediately,=94 said
Terri E. Weaver, PhD, RN, American Lung Association Chair. =93Even in
many areas EPA currently considers safe, the science clearly shows
that the air is too often dangerous to breathe, particularly for those
with lung disease. Protecting Americans from potentially deadly air
pollution means we need more protective federal standards, so that
every community in the United States can have truly clean air.=94
Higher soot levels in the East are linked to an increase in
electricity generated by heavy polluting power plants. In the West, by
contrast, soot levels continue to drop even in areas that rank
historically high in particle pollution. California showed the most
improvement with 32 counties dropping their year-round particle
pollution levels

>Dr. Ubaldo Mart=EDn is a lung doctor at Temple University Hospital in
Phil=
adelphia. Many of his patients are Puerto Rican, a community that suffers
f=
rom very high rates of asthma1 and suffers all the more because of limited
=
access to health care, lack of information about the illness, and living
in=
polluted areas.2
Thania Delgado, for example, sometimes can't even walk a block because
her asthma overcomes her. "I don't have medical insurance, and since I
don't have a doctor, I use my son's asthma medicine," she says.
And Thania's son, who is six, is suffering too. He was diagnosed with
asthma at a week old when he stopped breathing. He now has two or
three attacks each year, more than what doctors consider acceptable.
Dr. Since the Clean Air Act was enacted in 1970, air quality has
improved in many regions of our country. But even after 30 years of
progress, more than 130 million Americans and 3.8 million residents of
southeastern Pennsylvania, continue to breathe dirty, unhealthy air.3
Pennsylvania is home to 35 coal-fired power plants, located throughout
the state which contribute to air quality problems in the area.4 Also
Pennsylvania citizens breathe pollution from dirty Midwestern power
plants located upwind in Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia, as well as
winds blowing in from Baltimore and Wa****ngton. And now because the
Bush administration is weakening clean air protections, Pennsylvania's
air pollution problems stand to get worse.
"Pollution plays a very significant role in asthma and exacerbates it.
There isn't any way to deny that. Anything that allows pollution to
accelerate, any policy that goes soft on environmental protection,
ultimately harms asthma patients," says Dr. Mart=EDn.
Under the Clean Air Act, the New Source Review program requires older
plants to install modern pollution control technologies when they make
significant changes that increase pollution. The Bush administration
is exempting factories including utilities from this program, allowing
older, more polluting plants to avoid pollution reduction, placing
local communities and those downwind at increasing risk of health
damage and pollution.g risk of health damage and pollution.
