President Obama is spending three days in India this week. A UK statistician has estimated that India’s polluted air will shorten Obama life by six hours. Is this true? Nope. It’s just another example of how stupid EPA air pollution science is.
False.
Ever been to a hookah bar? Seen any dead bodies?
Note that no deaths occur during or immediately after hookah bar sessions despite the high levels of PM2.5.
A friend of mine e-mailed me a November 2015 report from the European Environment Agency claiming that the air pollutant called PM2.5 causes 432,000 deaths in Europe every year. Is this plausible?
No, PM2.5 does not kill anyone.
No one dies from particulate matter in ambient air.
Average PM2.5 levels are down 20% since last year but that is still double EPA’s maximum one-hour standard.
Risk models oughts to be based on facts, not myths.
No one is dying in China from exceedingly high PM2.5 levels.
JunkScience has discovered the key to fatal air pollution episodes. The NYTimes supports the discovery today.
