Maryland Deaths From Air Pollution Highest In U.S.

Long-term exposure to air pollution leads a higher percentage of the population in Maryland to die prematurely than in any other state, according to a new study on the impact of air quality on health.

In a study released in late August, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that emissions from cars, trucks, industrial smokestacks, trains, boats, and commercial heating systems contribute to the death of 113 people per 100,000 population per year in Maryland—more than any other state.

Well lets look at the aluminum they are spraying from planes over our heads almost daily. High altitude spraying of barium and aluminum dioxide by our Air Force. If you want to know the truth watch "what in the world are they spraying" on YouTube

This would possibly explain the HUGE numbers of cancer victims in this area.

Just make sure you are wearing your seat belt on the way to the cancer ward. Politicians and their armed enforcers have their priorities. Money being at the top spot. Our health? Waaaay down on the list....in fact, you'd probably have to go to page 4 or five to find "concern for citizens health".
