More evidence of the general level of ignorance, even in the healthcare community, of the dangers of localized air pollution and biomass combustion.
Like other health-related charities, Diabetes Canada condemns tobacco use:
Smoking is a deadly habit. One of the best things you can do for your heart, diabetes and overall health is to quit now.
And then they post THIS image promoting their camps: child and teens inhaling toxic wood smoke.
On their page “Diwali and Diabetes”, one of the gift basket suggestions is a source of indoor air pollution:
- Scented candles or home fragrance such as incense sticks. This gift will be enjoyed long after the holiday is over.
Although exposure to fine particulate is a known risk factor for the development of diabetes, the terms “particulate”, “PM2.5” and “air pollution” yield no useful results when searched on their website.
