Air Pollution Triggers Heart Risk for Cyclistsfrom Scientific American
http://ow.ly/5zKRL
| Rather, the findings intensify the scrutiny on cyclists' | pollution exposure, and point to simple solutions for a | cleaner ride, such as avoiding busy roads like 8th Avenue | whenever possible. =v= First of all, if you delve down a bunch of paragraphs in the article, you find that the health benefits of bicycling overall outweigh this problem, followed by this pull quote about avoiding "busy roads." =v= It is also mentioned that car interiors are worse places to be (some studies have shown 18x as much pollution trapped inside), which makes me wonder why this story's headline is so focused on bicyclist exposure. When I worked in NYC, 8th Ave. in the Garment District was part of my commute, and believe me, my air was much better than what motorists were sitting and stewing in. _Jym_ |

Stating the much greater benefits, or noting that the supposed "danger!" is worse for non-cyclists? That's not required. In fact, it's almost forbidden. - Frank Krygowski |
