Petrol hike and Health

A caveat on Vehicles: Driving is injurious to our environment and now to your pockets . :)

Not only my pocket, so my life style is badly affected by Petrol hike  but also my health is going to suffer. Wondering?? How?

Save petrol, save health as well wealth! :)

Petrol hike rather would encourage people to use options like bicycles
and all, that should result in good health of the people.. how come  badly affected??

Well, it is very very difficult to bring people out of their comfort  zone, that is convenient traveling by their vehicles. If petrol hike  is pinching them, they would rather opt for option like Diesel not  bicycles and all. And diesel is less environment friendly and will hereby result in more air pollution. :( That’s how.. even my health is  going to suffer badly.

According to Anumita Roychowdhury, executive director-research and head  of air pollution control team of The Centre for Science and Environment, levels of killer particles and ozone from diesel emission is enormous.

To back up the claim, the statistical figures which shows that diesel cars now comprise 36% of new car sales in India and that this figure is expected to grow up to 50% in near future was stated.

Dunno.. where this is going to stop.. every thing invented and discovered for our comfort and convenience is now becoming object of  discomfort and stress.
