document: Air Pollution Affects Troops in Iraq : As Deadly as Terrorists ? The air pollution in Iraq is nearly as deadly to troops as the enemy is or so a new study finds out . Researchers from the University of Alaska presented the surprising information to the American Chemical Society this week during a meeting held in Anaheim , CA . There never seems to be good news of any kind associated with what seems like an endless war . Air pollution is just the latest negative thing to come to light . Apparently , the air pollution in Iraq is comprised of particulate matter a.k.a. fine particles which are being breathed in by U.S. troops . The particulate matter then lodges '' `` deep inside people 's lungs '' '' which could even cause death to some . Researchers state that troops are breathing in air pollution that is '' `` 10 times higher that the desirable levels in the U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standards . '' '' Sadly , it seems this is just another thing for our men and women in uniform to have to worry about . One can try to dodge bullets and bombs but how does one escape from the very air they breathe ? © Evalynn J. Saeyang - Gather Inc. 2011
