prediction : CAR FUMES STUNT CHILD LUNG GROWTH

[+] ballot by herzog
ACTIVE Jan 25,2007 - Fri Jan 25, 08

Living too close to a busy road could stunt a child's lung development, US research suggests.

Children who lived within 500 metres of a major road, such as a motorway, were shown to have lung impairment in tests.

Many children live and go to schools near to busy roads and could be at risk, the University of Southern California authors warn in The Lancet.

Experts already know that toxic traffic fumes can trigger lung conditions such as asthma.

COMMENTS:
This is only somewhat tongue in cheek. There was a time when people would have thought it ridiculous for the government to mandate warning labels on cigarettes.

Well, in the future, vehicles will be powered by all different kinds of energy. So, I'd have to say that we wont be seeing any mandated warning labels posted in/on vehicles

But if they are willing to ban public smoking, they should be willing to ban cars. Both contaminate others peoples lungs without their consent.

Because the primary victims of car pollution are people other than the driver/ purchaser.
