A Case of Hanoi Lung

The WHO continues to monitor Bird Flu, but only AG is breaking the bizarre silence about Hanoi Lung.

Imagine the symptoms of bronchitis, black lung, diphtheria and parasites and you've about hit on Hanoi Lung, the condition that results from breathing the city's filthy air for too long.

The World Health Organization estimates that 537,000 people in Southeast Asia and the Pacific die prematurely each year due to air pollution.

The main culprits are nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter.



Fact: spend a day outside in Hanoi and you'll sneeze grey snot.





When they buy two cars, they'll need a good air filter. . .

PS, ASEAN Summit not till tomorrow.
