Study Claims Pollution Causes 40% of Deaths.

A recent study at Cornell University has proved that pollution should be up there with cancer on the list of leading causes of death. A project conducted by Professor David Pimental (director of ecology and environmental biology,) is showing that decreasing environmental conditions and population growth are affecting the spread of diseases.
According to the study, 62 million deaths each year are a due to organic and chemical pollutants, and about 5,000 just from pollution of air and water.
The study shows that mosquitoes thrive in polluted water, they are what carry diseases like Malaria and the West Nile Virus.
What the article ultimately proves is that the human race is the biggest contributor to even disease-driven deaths.
Sewage-dumping is a very common thin amongst factories world wide. The sewage gets into our water ways and not only absorbs into our land, but is a breeding pool of mosquitoes that will carry disease.
The study starts at man-made pollution which gets dumped into our water and the sickness and disease derive from there... Contaminated water is consumed by our livestock which is where the Ecoli virus comes from.
Acid rain, air pollution from vehicles, carelessness with the environment... All things that we contribute to ourselves.
“I hope the study can be used to bring greater attention to the problems of water and air pollution and the worldwide malnutrition problem, especially in developing countries. We ought to know what we’re doing to ourselves,” Pimentel said.
