Reply #5: Agree - I think it's diesel [View All]

[PaulaFarrell]

I use to have to walk past a parking lot where buses and taxis running on diesel would congregate with engines running, going home from work. Every time on a hot day, my lungs would just close up. I've read similar stuff about studies in NYC of kids living close to bus depots - really high rates of asthma. But yet if you read the literatire about asthma, air pollution is not mentioned. It will generally say 'no evidence that air pollution contributes to asthma'. Why not? Because no one will do the frigging studues - because most research these says is financed by coporations, and you can't sell loads of anti-asthma drugs if you get rid of the cause.
