Smog May Shorten Lifespan
Word Count: 157If you don’t have air cleaners in your house, you may consider getting one. For years, it’s been known that air cleaners can help people with their allergy problems or lower the amount of time that someone stays sick. However, a recent study (which I read about over at the msnbc news center) shows that people who live in heavily polluted areas have may have a lifespan of up to 2-3 years shorter than those who live in areas with clean air.
Yeah, 2-3 years may not sound like a huge deal right now, but it will be a huge deal whenever those 2-3 years are all you have left. 
I have a few air cleaners at my house, and I will say that I do feel better and have less allergies for the most part whenever we have them running. Although it could be a placebo effect, I do think that the air cleaners really help.
