air pollution equivalent to cigarette smoking

 

New study compares increases in ambient Ozone levels over tens years, and concludes that ambient Ozone level increases of just three parts per billion (3 ppb) over ten years is the equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes daily for 29 years!!


So what increase in ground level Ozone has already occurred in St. Bernard Parish, what increase is expected from recent air permits, and what increase will the PONO international container port bring to our community?


The amount of Emphysema progression found in the study is equal to 29 pack-year of smoking. In other words, if your ambient Ozone level increases three ppb over ten years, that is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes daily for 29 years. It sounds [more] terrible than smoking !
