But Beijing is just one of hundreds of cities, largely in Asia, where poisonous air is now the fastest growing cause of death in urban populations. > However, the Lancet study found that it was specifically the type of air pollution caused by car and truck exhaust that was doing the most health damage http://t.co/C3bP3xQw Rick -- Richard Risemberg http://www.bicyclefixation.com http://www.SustainableCityNews.com http://gridlogisticsinc.com http://www.rickrise.com
