Example - during a lifetime, a coal miner may inhale 1,000 grams of dust into his lungs. When doctors examine the lungs after his death, they only find around 40 g of dust. Excessive inhalation of dust and other contaminates may result in disease. Below are the problems and solutions to help.
Pollution & Dust Exposure From Home & Work. All the following are 100% not healthy for the human body. Using candles, incense sticks, cleaning products. Dust from brooms and from sanding down 'paints' on materials. Using microwaves. mildew, mould, spray tans, aerosols sprays, air fresheners, sunbeds, deodorants and talcum powder. High exposure to formaldehyde used in many applications from household products to paints and glues. Dangerous toxins made with recycled rubber used on playgrounds and football pitches. Solutions. ★ Don't use, or try and avoid any of the above. ★ If you have/want to, wear non-toxic clothing fabrics. ★ Use battery candles instead of the real one's.★ Keep your home clean using non toxic and Eco-friendly products. Carbon monoxide released from faulty boilers and heaters can be fatal. Keep them fully serviced ★ Keep your fuel burners in good repair, and make your home energy efficient and greener. Heating and cooking appliances can release particulates and nitrogen oxides that are damaging to the lungs and heart. ★ When sanding down plastics, metal, or when sweeping or cleaning use a high quality genuine, approved respiratory face mask because nasal cancers and other problems can be the result of all forms of dust including wood. ★ When cleaning, and to minimise the tiny particles splashing around, add any detergents or bleaches 'after' your mop, or cleaning bucket has been filled with water. ★When spraying or applying chemical substances, do it outside, or in a properly ventilated area with a face mask. ★ Dyson makes purifying devices which they claim to remove benzene gas, pollen particles, formaldehyde, allergens and other microscopic particles from the home, and tell you what they are.
The people who can suffer first are those with current health problems such as a disease, cancer. allergies, the asthmatic, elderly, young, or
anyone with a weak immune system.
Pollution - Travelling / Commuting - Either by Road or the Underground. It's been impossible to miss the numerous health warnings regarding the dangerously high levels of pollutions in our busy cities. Diesel and petrol vehicle pollution kills over 50.000 people in the UK every year due to carbon and other toxic particles entering the lungs and body. People have also suffered due to the high levels of Dangerous Particles from the Underground released from the 'brake pads' every time a vehicle or Train has to stop. (above image is human hair, skin and other "stuff" collected from the underground ventilation system) including dandruff and 'stuff' on seats.
Newer mining techniques like fracking just adds more fuel to the already polluted fire. Potential damage to wildlife, the climate, and local environment.
We have to contend with high levels of dangerous 'nitric oxide' from un-vented gas boilers and generators used at home or on construction sites, and from their machinery. Solutions. Wear a quality approved face mask at work. ★ Control your breathing by breathing less.★ Download an app to see where the high levels of pollution are and avoid them like the plague. Place plants in the home to help reduce the carbon monoxide from the air. ★ Until coal, gas and oils have been replaced with the wind and solar energy, it's best to be safe. ★ Be energy efficient with DIY 3d solar panels.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said "global air pollution is expected to cause 1.7 - 1.8 million child deaths a year".

Be safe. Find the right mask AND filter for the right job.
Counterfeit / Fake Products You're Using & Possibly Without realising. One of the biggest problems we face today. Not just bad for health, but bad for businesses globally. Fake unregulated pharmaceutical drugs have to be the worse. Fake 'face masks' used to stop micro particles entering the body won't work. Counterfeit foods, cigarettes, alcohol. toys and perfumes. Electronic products which can malfunction, catch fire or explode. Fake synthetic football pitch turf that contains arsenic. Solutions. Be extra vigilant when buying product's at the pub, market, or on-line especially if they're much cheaper, or from China. ★ Be aware of what you buy or use.
Pollution From Animals. The methane and ammonia that comes from live cattle is said to be one of the biggest causes of global warming. Cows alone generate more greenhouse gas emissions, and most of those emissions comes from the cow's mouth, rather than from farting.
Plastic Products Containing Toxins. Products including children's toys and jewellery can be made with high levels of lead, cadmium and arsenic which can be very dangerous. Lead in toys - control & prevention.
Despite the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banning 19 harmful carcinogenic additives from household products. Two chemicals triclosan and triclocarban are still being used in office buildings and household products - from phones, credit cards to yoga mats.
Cooking Utensils / Pots & Pans Are A Potential Health Hazard. Non-stick Teflon, cast iron, aluminium, stainless steel pots and pans can cause many types of diseases from the small types of 'micro metals' that are released (leached) from the pans when used especially under high heat. Cooking with aluminium foil is also harmful. Solutions. Stay away from 'non-stick' pots, pans and bake ware. ★ Use those made from a good quality expensive cast iron, ceramic, titanium, enamel or glass pot. ★100% unglazed natural clay and coated stoneware is also good to cook with. ★ Just like us, pots and pans need to be looked after and must be crack, and scratch free. ★ Be cautious when using glassware. They have known to explode if not used properly. ★ Be cautious to what materials are burning on the underside of pans.
Plastic Wrapping & Food / Tin Can Containers. From water to food packaging, it's hard not to buy foods in plastic packaging, containers or tins. The problem is, most plastics and tinned foods we use can be toxic and cause medical problems. Solutions. ★ Try and eliminate your usage and buy products without plastic or tin containers. (hard I know but possible). ★ Never use plastic containers in the microwave. ★ Ready-made dinners made to be cooked in plastic packaging should be removed and heated in a glass dish preferably ★ Store foods in glass jars or kitchen foil. ★ Use a quality reusable water bottle and keep plastic bottles out of direct sunlight and never re-use. ★ The good & bad plastics safe guide. ★ Wikipedia's A- Z list of extremely hazardous substances.
Dirty Money. Don't get me started on dirty money. Too late. I started. The thing's I've done as a child, and seen people do with money, even the places they carry or hide it, I'd bet my 'bottom' dollar (a deliberate pun) that the majority of all coins and notes in circulation have human faeces and other 'stuff' on it. Because of this, I use payment cards to minimize any cross contamination. The sooner we become a cashless society the better. Using a plastic money bag, I can pay and receive coins without the need to ever touch a coin again.

Every hour, one million particles are released from humans from their body, hair and clothing. Humans lose between 30,000 and 40,000 skin cells every hour. Try to avoid crowded enclosed spaces like buses and trains.
What You Put In Your Body From Your Thoughts - Stress & Negative Energy.

following words "they'll be taking time off work due to stress related
illness , used...

"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family". Kofi Annan
Final Thoughts
- The lungs are such a durable, resilient machine. Its designed to protect against bad toxins and chemicals. Having said that, it can be extremely fragile and vulnerable.
- depending on a person's current health problems, DNA, life style, genes, and luck which all play an important role in how these 'bad toxins' will affect us long term.
- Winds bringing in pollutants from the continent is another problem.
- Wearing an appropriate, regulated mask that conforms to health and safety standards to filter and trap all dangerous particles with correct filter.
- You may not be a smoker, or use canister sprays, or sand down woodwork, but if you can smell them, then you're breathing in toxic chemicals.
- It's about being aware and reducing your intake of potential life threatening air borne particles that will make a difference.
If you think you're eating healthily, think again.
