Yet more evidence that improving

lessens the health burden that it causes.
Great work by

and team.
Our new paper is out showing the massive 61% decrease from projected in local cardiovascular hospital visits after the closure of the Shenango coal coking plant. Stark evidence of how highly toxic fossil-fuel derived air pollution is!

And not just more, but stronger evidence. The health benefits were much larger than would be expected because it was pure fossil fuel-derived pollution, which is far more toxic than the usual mix. We have been WAY underestimating the health benefits of getting off fossil fuels!
