Traffic and Pollution
Stuck in Traffic on the 101
A recent report released by the EPA cites that pollution in the L.A. Basin increased one's risk for cancer by 50%.
But the common theory of thinking is that the brown cloud (smog) is the most dangerous to one's lungs. But...that's not case...
...It's actually the smog that is not visible to one's eye (CO2) Carbon Monixide which is one of the main component in car exaust...actually is one of the most dangerous types of airborn pollution.
Actually the thick brown cloud which is sometimes visible here in southern California...is actually caused by Ozone and other man-made materials which is trapped by inversion layers.
