 Air Pollution:


   About 64,000 people in the 239 surveyed areas died          
   prematurely each year of heart and lung ailments caused 
   by particle air pollution.  That compares with 29,245 
   deaths in those areas from auto accidents and 18,683
   homicides.  In the most polluted cites, lives are 
   shortened by an average of one to two years.
