It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you're breathing cleaner air, then you're likely to live longer than if you're breathing filthy air. But it is nice to know that this has been confirmed by the experts. I came across this news tidbit in a couple different email newsletters I receive, but I've also linked the original study so you can go straight to the source on this one. Essentially the good news is that a federally funded research project has shown that improved air quality is connected to longer lifespans. It's nice to know that good old fashioned common sense is sometimes proven by scientists to be accurate.
