Islamic Architecture of Andalusia


Woefuller Architecture!!!

The Top Ten Sources by Global Burden of Disease


This report illustrates the tremendous burden put on the health of the world’s population by the release of toxic pollution from industrial and mining processes. As noted, these estimates of global disease burdens from toxic pollution are likely undervalued as many of the suspected and known health impacts of pollution are currently unquantifiable. In addition, pathway types, sampling capabilities, demographic data and access to polluted sites limited these estimates. However, this first attempt to assign DALYs to top polluting industrial sources clearly demonstrates the scope of the problem.
