Research just released shows that the hearts of even the very young city dwellers contains billions of toxic air pollution particles. These iron-rich particles, produced by vehicles and industry, could be the cause of the long-established link between air pollution and heart disease.
Another recent report found the same nano-particles in human brains associated with Alzheimers-like damage, indicating that air pollution damages every organ and cell in the body, even in the placentas of women who had given birth.
Although it is suggested that particle emissions from vehicles can be reduced, this would be merely tinkering around the edges of the problem, which will feed into reducing life expectancy figures. What would be required to remove the problem altogether is an unimaginable change in both worldwide industry and transport. This is not going to happen in the present circumstances, but there is good news.
A change is coming, when the whole earth and its systems, its climate, geography, industry, transport, religions and even the way the nations are governed, will totally change for the better. It will occur under the rule of the returned Jesus Christ who will have both the ability and the support needed to enable the change to be successful worldwide, achieving peace, prosperity and happiness for all mankind, but it will not be industry and technology based.
It will be an agrarian society, based upon farming, the family, and human and animal involvement rather than huge machines and computers. The whole emphasis will be upon human relationships and ecology, rather than wealth and material possessions, and and the result will be that pollution of all kinds will be removed !
Isaiah 30:23-25, ‘He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle will graze in broad meadows. The oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel. In the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall, streams of water will flow on every high mountain and every lofty hill.’
