"Clean Air Equals Longer Life
[…]
If you doubt that clean air has an effect on your health, now there's scientific proof that you're wrong.
Cleaner U.S. air over the last 20 years has added an average of 21 weeks to the life of an American. Those who study these results conclude that Americans live 2.72 years longer than they did in the early '80s — 15 percent of that is accountable to the reduction of the fine particles given off by our fossil fuel-driven cars, factories and power plants. Oh, and changing smoking habits, which is the biggest factor.
Arden Pope, Brigham Young University's epidemiologist, led the study by examining economic, demographic and pollution data.
The team found that life expectancy rose by 31 weeks when fine particles dropped 10 micrograms per cubic meter, and increased 43 weeks when 13 to 14 micrograms of fine particles were reduced.
This all seems intuitive, but now it's scientific fact: the cleaner the air, the longer you'll live."

According to the article:
Exibir dica

(A)
a research from Brigham Young University's has shown that the cleaner the air you breathe, the longer you will live.

(B)
the same study has proven the disastrous effects of particles pollution on human bad health and mortality.

(C)
the scientific opinion is that the humans are causing most of it through activities that increase concentrations of greenhouse effect.

(D)
researchers say how much it would cost for governments to stick to their worldwide global warming goal.

(E)
effective implementation of air quality measures would amount to an appreciable decline in fine particle concentrations, and this, in turn, would lead to notable health-related benefits.
