It does serious damage to people's health, causing problems that range from sore throats, smarting eyes and breathing difficulties in the short term to chronic asthma, emphysema, lung cancer and skin and eye diseases in the long run. It also incurs high economic costs: these are felt immediately, in the form of absenteeism and business shut-downs, reduced tourism, airport delays and accidents, not to
mention the expensive and often futile emergency measures taken to put out the fires.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
