Study: Exposure to Busy Roads, Health Risk
Woman who live within 160 feet of busy roads face a 70 percent higher risk of dying from a heart attack, stroke or other cardiopulmonary cause, according to a new study, just released.
Exposure to particles emitted by cars - especially diesel vehicles - is probably to blame, researchers say.

You can do more harm by ingesting food preservatives, food coloring, and Trans fats - then from breathing a nice dose of diesel exhaust.

Does this apply to 13th Avenue? Avenue J? Although those living in the suburbs spend more time in their cars/traffic than the ones living in the city- ask those that live in Monsey.
