(Natural News) A recent study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B revealed that health risks associated with low-level exposure to ionizing radiation from various industries such as medicine and military were less pronounced compared with other lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, and air pollution exposure. Previous studies have long established the health risks associated with medium- and […]

(Natural News) The World Health Organization (WHO) calls air pollution “the world’s largest single environmental risk.” In 2012, one-in-eight deaths around the globe were a result of exposure to air pollution.
