Quoting libralady: AStham is caused when desensitisation occurs and that can be anything that irritates the airways. Work related asthma, can be caused by desensitation to solder fumes for instance. Once desensitation occurs you can only relieve the symptoms by removing the cause.
Other cause of desensitation is household dust, bedmites, animal hairs, dust particles in the atmosphere and pollution can make the symptons worse.
Lots of research into the cause of asthma going on. |
Well educated LL  ...Also, only some few people's cases are known what the causes of the attacks are. Unfortuantly mine hasn't been verified and I've had it since I was 5 
some main causes for attacks are exposures to an environmental stimulant (or allergen), cold air, exercise or exertion, or emotional stress.
And Aenigma, you are right, Asthma can be genetic, infact mine is, my grand father had it (he died of it ) and my brother had it but he grew out of, and I also have it, but these conditions of pollution do not help either. Infact they make people's condition worse and less likely to grow out of it.

Nicely done France also to these places:
Several other European cities also staged symbolic blackouts. In Rome, the lights of two of its celebrated monuments, the Colosseum and the Capitol, were turned off.
In Spain, Madrid's Puerta de Alcala arch was plunged into darkness.
In the Greek capital, Athens, lights illuminating several public buildings - including the parliament, city hall, and the foreign ministry - went dark

Quoting SuiGeneris: you cant go anywhere with protesting on everychance... you have to do that on right time and right place... dont offend i am not saying you cant do it here... |
Well as far as I was concerned it WAS the right time to post this - it was a worldwide statement and I wanted to spread the word. Apologies if my "protesting" offends, but I happened to think it was important.

PROPER EDUCATION
Ministry of Sound
Thursday, 18 January 2007
The video for ‘Proper Education’ is now set to cause a sensation of another kind, as it focuses on climate change and the issues surrounding global warming. Set in a London estate, it features a gang of young people breaking into local flats, in order to switch appliances off standby, change light bulbs for energy efficient alternatives, place bricks in toilet cisterns, alongside a series of other energy saving measures.
“There was a lot of anticipation around this video and I was really keen to do something a bit different,†Prydz explains. “Pink Floyd would always use their videos to get a message across and I really wanted to carry on this spirit. I’d been reading so much in the press about climate change and global warming recently and felt it would be great to try and empower people to do something about it. It’s not making a grand statement. It’s just simply saying everyone can do a little and it will make a difference."

No need to kick yourself Karekin, you can still turn off your lights for five minutes or cut down or do something to help the planet. Doesn't necessarily have to be on a certain day when everyone else does it...infact you could do it anytime
