Not to mention heart disease:

Study Finds Gritty Air Raises Heart Disease Risk in Older Women=20
=20
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: February 1, 2007

BOSTON, Jan. 31 (AP) =97 The fine grit in polluted air increases the
risk of heart disease in older women much more sharply than scientists
realized, a federally financed study has found, raising questions of
whether environmental standards are strict enough.

The Environmental Protection Agency tightened its daily limit for the
tiny specks, or fine particulates, in September.=20

But the new standard left the average annual limit untouched, allowing
a concentration of 15 millionths of a gram for every cubic meter of
air.

In this study of 65,893 women, the average exposure was 13 millionths,
with two-thirds of the subjects falling under the national standard.=20

But every increase of 10 millionths, starting at zero, increased the
risk of fatal cardiovascular disease by about 75 percent. That is
several times higher than in a study by the American Cancer Society.
