Coal Fly Ash Aerosol: Risk Factor for Lung Cancer

Abstract: This work was a joint effort between the authors that is part of an ongoing collaboration aimed at providing scientific, medical, public health implications and evidence related to aerosolized coal fly ash including its use in the near-daily, near-global covert geoengineering activity. Author MW was primarily responsible for medical and public health considerations. Author JMH was primarily responsible for mineralogical and geophysical considerations. Both authors read and approved the final manuscript.

“…Particulate pollution, systematically emplaced in the troposphere, traps heat that should otherwise be removed from the surface by atmospheric convection [19][20][21][22]. It also alters natural weather patterns and causes climate chaos [49], including droughts and deluges [49,50], poisons the environment [48], damages the ozone layer that protects us from the solar ultraviolet radiation [56], and is toxic to virtually all biota [57][58][59], including humans [47,[60][61][62].…”

“…environmental cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide [26,27], have been found in the brains of persons with dementia [28] and in the hearts of persons from highly polluted areas [29]. Air pollution is a major contributor to stroke, heart, and neurodegenerative disease [28][29][30][31], lung cancer [32], COPD [33], respiratory infections [34], and asthma [35]. Particulate air pollution is a risk factor for cognitive decline [36][37][38][39], and for Alzheimer's Dementia later in life [36].…”

“…Air pollution particles have devastating consequences for human health, including being the leading environmental cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide [32,33]. Air pollution particulates penetrate deep into lungs and systemic circulation, and contribute to stroke and neurodegenerative disease [34][35][36], heart disease [37,38], lung cancer [39], COPD [40,41], respiratory infections [42,43], and asthma [44,45].…”

“…There are several ways bats may be exposed to the toxins of aerosolized CFA. Nano-particulates of CFA can directly enter bat bodies through respiration or trans-dermally as they can in humans [36,39,40]. Additionally, the metals of CFA can be partially extracted by water [79], including extraction by body-moisture in vivo or by atmospheric moisture that ultimately can contaminate bats' drinking-water sources.…”
