Have you or your loved ones experienced health issues like asthma attacks, chronic bronchitis or memory loss?
Recent studies show that our families are all exposed to IQ loss and diminished brain development in fetuses and young children, massive respiratory diseases like chronic bronchitis and asthma; also chest pains, premature deaths (heart attacks and lung disease), water and food poisoning, all because of fossil fuels. Coal pollution is the major responsible for these and several other harmful diseases… even cancer.
In fact, drinking from contaminated water supplies causes damage to vital human organs, to the nervous system and even can produce cancer. Furthermore, underground mining is one of the most hazardous of occupations, killing and injuring thousands in accidents around the world every year.
Escalating hidden health costs from burning fossil fuels globally are enormous. In the Unites States alone are expended as much as €686/$886 Billion each year, most of it added directly to our family’s doctor, hospital bill or health insurance plan*.
*The cost of the health impacts was based on premature mortality, workdays lost and other direct costs to the U.S. healthcare system resulting from fossil fuel emissions.
