Plan to slice New York pizza oven emissions by 75% causes backlash

53. What would be interesting and useful to see is some studies of the overall lung health of

people who have worked large periods time within such eateries or close by. I started reading a little bit into this stuff to get a very very very basic understanding of the topic. I saw it mentioned that the filters need to filter out at 75% of PM-10 particles (or whatever the correct phrasing is). From what I've read it looks like those pollutants increase chances of COPD and asthma complications. I tried looking for some studies about this specifically, but I didn't have much luck. I also only half-assed it, though. I also realize that my amateur understanding of anything will be extremely minimal and even if I feel like I understand something, I probably don't understand nearly enough to make any real judgement. What I really want to see are actual experts discuss this and cite/perform studies on it and present the evidence. Being able to cite some concrete data would go a long way toward reeling in some of the hesitations, or it could also go the other way if minimal impact is shown.

Maybe this stuff exists and it just needs to be made accessible. But then again, how many regular folk actually care in the end? I'm just rambling now.
