Breathing might kill you

Scientists in Belgium recently published a study connecting air pollution to heart attacks.

From a Reuters article on the study:
Sex, anger, marijuana use and chest or respiratory infections and can...trigger heart attacks to different extents...but air pollution, particularly in heavy traffic, is the major culprit.

I guess I'll try to hold my breath next time I'm on the 405.
