Link between air pollution, increased deaths and increased deaths from heart disease affirmed
www.sciencedaily.com/releases/...
“In what is believed to be the largest, most detailed study of its kind in the United States, scientists have confirmed that tiny chemical particles in the air we breathe are linked to an overall increase in risk of early death.”
7 million premature deaths annually linked to air pollution
www.who.int/mediacentre/news/r...
“In new estimates released today, WHO reports that in 2012 around 7 million people died - one in eight of total global deaths - as a result of air pollution exposure. This finding more than doubles previous estimates and confirms that air pollution is now the world’s largest single environmental health risk. Reducing air pollution could save millions of lives.”

Watching this from Delhi, really worried about myself now
+Jake Simdeth thats nice
+Jake Simdeth but why
CNG has significantly decreased pollution in India.
+Jake Simdeth What did he do to you?
Living in Malaysia and air pollution is like a seasonal thing, it comes and goes every year but this year was particularly serious due to burning of forests in Indonesia. I heard index in Indonesia reached nearly 1000
actually, Delhi in India has already suppressed china's capital in pollution, in here (delhi) the problem is worse.
50 % children have chronic cough,
thanks to the 60k trucks that enter the capital everynight just using the capital as a bypass to other states. These diesel-run trucks are responsible for 1/3rd that is 60 % of the pollution.
1/3 aint 60%
Her level of prettiness is off the charts
She is beautiful/gorgeous/cute everything combined!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When are you guys gonna talk about the new antibiotic resistant superbugs that broke out in China? It is kinda of a big deal since it affects everyone in such a strong way.
+zukodude487987 ITS THE END OF THE WORLD
+Xinon Gladio How so? The superbugs have already spread to europe. They can also share their genes with other bacteria thus in the near future infectious disease will once again be lethal.
***** why are they spread to europe? how did that happen?
***** That is not an evidence for a strong immune system, but more luck. Sure people who exercise regularly like i do will have stronger immune systems and diet healthy, but it weakens over time and your body can fail at times. It is never a good idea to just ignore an issue because it hasn't been a problem for you yet. The best form of protection is from trying to avoid the harm, not hoping that your immune system alone will be able to fix everything.
+Xinon Gladio Only really naive people say that. I am hoping to still bench 100kg or higher when i am 70.
Pretty sad that a lot of people don't realize animal agriculture contributes almost 4 times as much CO2 pollution as transportation does. But you know, "BACON!".
PORK CHOP
Jr B STEAK
+Len Stuffleluffleluphagus How comes
Al غوثا Well, Animal agriculture contributes to 51% of greenhouse gas emissions, and all of transportation contributes to 13%.
Al غوثا BUT the animal agriculture business in America at least has lobbyists everywhere and will do whatever they can to save themselves from losing money. A lot of environmental agencies are sponsored by those industries, and so they don't speak out about those issues because they don't want to lose funding. Kind of messed up, really.
I live in Toronto and my apartment faces a busy street. I think I have the headache/fatigue symptoms. I should probably get that checked out lol
Nah, you've probably contracted melodram patheticism from a nervous dog
I'm just glad to live in Denmark
+Lucas Le Denmark is half the size of London.
Lol
+rawstarmusic metro London
+rawstarmusic Wait what? No it isn't.
+Erik Beyer Paulsen Ik
Goodness! I breathe fresh air !
That means we should always wear respiratory masks when outside.
Man, that would be crazy..
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia has same if not worse air pollution problems as Beijing. It is due to ger district residents burning coal, plastic, and used motor oil dipped tires to stay warm, Ulaanbaatar gets really cold at winters often reaching -30C/-22F.
597(2.5Pm) to 962(2.5PM) depending on location within Ulaanbaatar. Reference: aqicn.org/city/ulaanbaatar/mnb/
Do you know why this is great?? Air pollution = death = less humans = less air pollution:)
jholotan best yeah but all the pollution will go up in the atmosphere and there will be no pollution on the ground...but if u go up in the sky then ur body will be polluted
so thankful to this channel .. awesome!
_Its EPollution baby_
+E SC Start Raiden your bike!
Pearl Jam pun?
Ch-ch-changes are being made to budgets, maybe we can turn this thing around.
las vegas has this haze over it at night, its visible during the day too, just look at the mountains and you'll see it.
im not talking about normal atmosphere blue or green, im talking about a yellow and grey haze.

how does pollution cause anxiety?
Here is a possible episode for you peeps. I seen your episodes in the past on too much showering and why we should brush our teeth. How about an episode dealing with homeless awareness and how little of personal hygiene you can get by with and still be healthy. Maybe Trace can do this as a series on his podcast channel thing including reiterating on the showering and brushing teeth. I ask this out of curiosity. When I was in the war in Iraq I went a month with out a shower and aside from the smell I had very little health problems aside from an itchy scalp. That year I think I brushed my teeth almost 4 times and never got a cavity. Now I live homeless by choice living off my military pension because I'd rather not deal with the stresses of modern society. I shower about 2-3 times a week. Usually it is the 3rd day that the itchy scalp sets in though I can stretch it to 5 days. Part of this is I am too lazy to shower. Part is to save water because California is in a drought. And part is to save money because I have to drive to the nearest gym where I have a membership and I'd rather not lost the parking spot or waste the gas. I also have found I can get by with oral hygiene only 2-3 times a month. I wonder if this is genetics or diet. I know I'll probably get a bunch of hate replies or wtf comments. I don't care though. Just know I love all the channels you guys do. You have become my television while I sit and enjoy my day at a starbucks ignoring the leers I get. Thanks for all you do, you really make me feel like there is hope in this life with all the education you people spew forth. May science be with you!
I live in Pittsburgh. The air used to be awful back in the day of the coal and steel mills
What about the effects of foundry dust?? I'm very concerned. ..
You guys should mention that there are different types of smog. For example, the smog in London is completely different to the smog that appears in Los Angeles. London smog is caused particle matter in the air whereas LA smog is caused by ozone being formed in the atmosphere
Watching this from Cairo
So, if you stay in your house a lot, in a populated city (London) will I be at less risk from air pollution? Or will I be affected the same as someone who goes out often
That would be depressing, I'm glad I live in the country lol
craig nathan depends, I'm an introvert but if I lived in the county I'd be out all the time. You're lucky
+Al “The Overseer” غوثا do you live in London? Move north people are much happier, responsive and you can easily escape the pollution
+craig nathan yes I do.
I live in Geneva, Switzerland! Don't be jelly with my low CO2 levels ;)
love your vids btw
When heading to LA the first time, I could smell the city before I could see it.
hey guys pls do a video to prevent or reduce air pollution as well
smart and beautiful~
i need me a julia
me too :(

I have pretty bad asthma and I can feel the difference in air quality from country air to city air and coastal air by just breathing. So much so I wont live in the city anymore! It can be sickening to feel how poluted the air is, hence its one of the reasons I try to be green in as many ways as I can :-)
You can literally smell the pollution in cities. I live about 30 minutes away (in a farming community) from the nearest city in which has a population of just 150,000 and it smells like exhaust and industry.
Today in London we had a lot of polution and it is also mixed with sand from the Sahara in the atmosphere
Is Hamilton Ontario in Canada bad?
what's the music in the background?
Makes me wonder how the future will be regarding pollution.
Well this is depressing.
South Korea had its moments and my brother was hospitalized 7 or so times due to asthma problems but when we moved to Hawaii he didn't have these problems, and the only reasons he was hospitalized was due to what my family believes to be a weakened immune system, due to the pollution since he was born in South Korea, he would get a cold and would have Flu symptoms.
Speaking of air pollution, She always sounds so stuffy. It's kinda cute.
Is that intro music by Opeth?
What about other city that are cairns,Canterbury,brizze Brisbane and Venice !?
Hm... My Highschool is next to a Paper Mill... We can smell the pollution from eating outside, and the school average test scores are 62/D... Causation or Correlation with Pollution??
In my country Macedonia in Skopje it reached 700mg per cubic meter , it was very hard to breath.
Could humans adapt to smog?
Sweden traveler just walks outside in China and immediately gets lung cancer.
why did u change the thumbnail? :D
Im home in my room under my covers 24/7, i think im safe
great.
Should've mentioned Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. In winter it can get over 800ug/m3 here...
Do u even breath bro?
I’m from Italy and I’ve traveled quite a bit in my life, well I can say that the most polluted city I’ve seen until now was definitely New York.
I can't run outdoors for more than 5k (and often 4k) anywhere near São Paulo without the phlegm (that comes from breathing polluted air) clogging my airways, and making me either hyperventilate or choke and throw up. It's quite embarrassing to work out with my girlfriend when I visit her from the US.
This is pretty funny if you think of what she is saying as Smaug instead of smog.
1000 pm 2.5 level now in delhi
stay healthy my friends
jus put a heavy duty vaccum cleaner on every corner
I felt like I was under the hood of a really old truck the few times I've been to Chicago.
My daughter and I were in Xi'an China and we went to the country right outside the city to see a mountain. We couldn't even see the moutain from 2 miles away.
When I was in New Orleans there were so many people smoking there was smog from it.
Hello from GuangXi! the place in china with 'livable pollution levels'
I can't even begin to describe how horrible the pollution is in Beijing.
I have bad lungs AND live in a smoggy city. It makes breathing difficult, not to mention the DISTINCT skunk smell the entire place has. The smog/fog is only really visible when it is humid outside, but those days feels like you are trying to breathe through a wet cloth. That was sprayed by a skunk. Even so, it is nowhere near as bad as most other places. It's only bad here because it is such a small city, in a valley, with an overly large population.
+Coregame3 Up in eastern Canada. There are only a few cities with this problem around here, since the majority of the province is just trees haha. Which is why I say we are nowhere near as bad as some.
+monicaew Move out of the valley if you have sensitive lungs.
hey bro please come to Delhi(India) 800-1200 ppm ,you can't see more than 30 mtr..................
Cracov also struggles with pollution:( more and more people wear masks... It sometimes looks like some postapocalyptic city
watching this from Beijing !!!
@0:24 Beijing Chino?
I'll listen to this queer any time! Bring her back 😍
Darkchylde50 This is a strange comment. She's just a girl with some masculine features. There is no Adam's apple.
Chase Evis She (gender assumed) openly admitted to being "queer" or bisexual in one of her vlogs & was terrified doing so. So, I'm calling her out on her insecurity & imploring her courage. Her sexual orientation shouldn't be so crippling. More power to her!
yes. living in china right now, xuzhou, east of beijing. every morning i have to cough up a big ol' nasty surprise from my throat. last week the air was measured at 300
Arad from Romania has clean air !!
When i went to new york I felt like I couldn't breathe it was horrible. Its so polluted
Yeah! Fight pollution. I don't want my body damaged by these chemicals *lights cigarette*
Cancer...cancer...cancer...cancer...cancer
You can tell she's reading. . .
Delhi
when I live in Mexico city in the 80' I remember my eyes will water and feel like you were under water hard to see and bread
Luckily finland has great air:)
She is pretty!
I am just glad to live in Antartica.
Never copied the guy bellow.
Cool
Most of the smog in my city is invisible because the more harmful pollutants are usually filtered out. No public transit because the car companies controlling the area won't allow it. I'm doing my best to preserve our planet by boycotting single-use plastics, and bringing my own bags into stores. It's hard, but I want the next generation to have a future.
Salt Lake City, Utah gets its share of pollution
tell me about it, I LOVE IN NEW DELHI.
gos di stefano run. lol
Don't forget about cow farts.😨
+Josh Howson ...
what?
Methane doesn't pollute.
+Carson Troeh Eh kinda well. Its a greenhouse gas 70 times more potent than carbon. So yeah its kinda bad.
Like really bad.
irocktype95 It's not 70 times worse than carbon dioxide. It's at worse, 36 times and is more likely to be estimated at 32 times worse (both over a 100 year period), and even then, it doesn't exist in the atmosphere for a fraction of the time that CO2 exists, since it commonly reacts with hydroxyl radicals within a matter of 10 years after being in the atmosphere.
The issue is that it's a greenhouse gas, not a pollutant. There's a distinct difference, NOx, CO2 and hydrofluorocarbons are carcinogenic, methane isn't.
edit: not all NOx molecules are carcinogenic, but nitrous oxide itself is pretty bad for you if you have a prolonged exposure to it, in small doses it's used to alleviate some pain from some cancers, but it's nothing you want to take for a long time at all.
Oh my god im so sorry I didnt mean to report that. I acidentally pressed the button. :(
+CANNON RANDOM you should try some cow farts can make chill...
JULIA COME BACKKKKK
im moving to switzerland
So bike messengers are pretty screwed.
Yup. Beijing. That's where i live!
Im studyin in Taiwan and two days ago we all woke up thinking it was fog... and guess what it was smog. =/
Came to China for work, apparently I'm in the most polluted city which reaches almost 500aqi on US scale. So for me 2 months is plenty in here, and I'll be leaving, and recommending that you shouldn't come here if you want to breathe normaly
Grow HEMP.
China pollution is already very bad, but it look like nothing when compare to Dec 2015 Indonesia pelt forest fire on 2 islands, Java and another neighbouring island that reach over 1000 PSI. It was caused by slash and burn practices that the oil plam and paper industry do yearly during dry season. If the whole year is dry enough, they will burn the forest all year round. The smoke cause by the fire had covered all Asean countries and reaching as far as Vietnam and Philippines. I think it is a very interesting topic to tell how far reaching the issues can cause to the environment, health and econmony.
u are smart and beautiful!
What's the name of the girl? I need it for research purposes.
@Dnews, please do an episode on how could there be billions of people in the world if hundreds of millions die every year from violence, diseases, pollution and so on.
I'm confused.
More people are born every second than how many die every second
You forget New Delhi. Much worst than Beijing in last one week.
smoking
It is so hard to breathe in las vegas so maybe it is because of pollution in that city
Please people reduce carbon emissions!!!!
While China has some amazingly historic landmarks that is awe-inspiring, I will never visit there again. Well not in the cities anyways, disgusted.
Shit...I live in Los Angeles..
