Toronto Public Health Department estimates that air pollution causes 1,300 premature deaths and 3,550 hospitalizations each year. Motor vehicle traffic is the largest source of air pollution in Toronto.
Studies show that people living close to busy roads are more likely to have breathing problems, heart disease, cancer and premature death. The most susceptible are children, seniors, and people already sick. Traffic-related pollution is a mix of nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. Though tailpipes spew out the most some comes from wear and tear on the asphalt, tires, brake discs and brake pads.
So whose for deep breathing exercises folks?
The very nature of life under capitalism, especially employment, make cars a necessity.
So why not get rid of crapitalism before it gets rid of us?
