    Yeah...in the United States Montana and Alaska have the highest suicide rates and New Jersey has one of the lowest so that makes sense...

    Yeah...in the United States Montana and Alaska have the highest suicide rates and New Jersey has one of the lowest but I'm sure its linked to air pollution...

    I like the correlation between all the suicides in China and India in comparison to, well anywhere. The numbers are staggering. if there were numbers.

    People living with air pollution have higher rates of depression and suicide, a systematic review of global data has found.

    Cutting air pollution around the world to the EU’s legal limit could prevent millions of people becoming depressed, the research suggests. This assumes that exposure to toxic air is causing these cases of depression. Scientists believe this is likely but is difficult to prove beyond doubt.

    The particle pollution analysed in the study is produced by burning fossil fuels in vehicles, homes and industry. The researchers said the new evidence further strengthened calls to tackle what the World Health Organization calls the “silent public health emergency” of dirty air.

    “We’ve shown that air pollution could be causing substantial harm to our mental health, making the case for cleaning up the air we breathe even more urgent,” said Isobel Braithwaite, at University College London (UCL), who led the research.

    You're wasting my air. Get on with it.

    How do they interview the dead people to find out their hate for the air quality?

    I've dealt with a lot of suicidal people. Air quality was never one of the reasons.

    BTW TDS didn't take out APAG. His feud with DJ did.

    Don't kid yourself. It started with TDS and his swollen vageen.

    DJ was just the catalyst for the finalmeltdown.gif
