On 12 April 2014 The Scotsman reported: Air pollution kills ten times more people every year in Scotland than obesity, a new report has claimed. Figures published yesterday estimate that 40 people north of the Border die each week as a result of man-made toxic particles floating in the air. Campaigners said the study has revealed for the first time the full impact of pollution on public health in Scotland. Many deaths were related to cardiovascular and lung diseases. The elderly and those with pre-existing heart and lung problems are most at risk from long-term exposure. The report by Public Health England (PHE) links poor air quality to 2,094 deaths every year across Scotland, with Glasgow suffering the highest number of deaths at 306 annually. Edinburgh, Dundee, and Aberdeen together lose around 360 people prematurely because of the effects of atmospheric pollutants from burning fossil fuels and traffic fumes. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern health systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
