Respiratory and heart problems. Cancer. Global warming. Acid rain. Depletion of the ozone layer. These are health and environmental issues that have long been associated with air pollution. Recently, Alzheimer's disease has been added to the list, and on the heels of President Trump's directive orders to the Environmental Protection Agency to ease air quality rules.
In Fortune Sept. 5, 2018:
