Air pollution and health

A recent danish study supports that even low levels of air pollution could result in a higher risk for a condition called COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.  This is a disease of the lungs which makes it difficult for people to breathe.  The study which appeared in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine also stated that individuals who suffered from diabetes and asthma were at greater risk.  Eating fruit seems to be helpful in decreasing risk for the disease.
