Why does Italy have such high levels of air pollution?
Please use facts to support your answer.

I *rarely* have respiratory problems, and if I do it is in the Spring with allergies. But last winter and this winter in the SF Bay Area I have had both allergy and cold symptoms, I think because the air pollution is so bad here right now because this January we have hardly had any rain and the air is dirty from vehicle emissions and burning wood.
Granted, there is too much dust in my apartment but that will by gone by this Thursday when I have professional cleaners clean my place way better than I do, but the last few weeks I have had to fight off a head cold from moving down into my chest like it did last year.
I think that the local Bay Area media is avoiding covering the terrible winter air quality.

Do you know that air pollution and global warming could lead to:

Trillions of dollars wasted on attempts to stop global warming
Damage to our lakes, causing fish to die and slowing our eco-system

Increased death rates from deadly fumes in the air (4.6 million people die per year today!)

Increased temperature resulting in the number and intensity of floods, droughts, hurricanes, heat waves, and species extinction

This is not all. There are many things that will hurt us. Please answer honestly.
Aks other people you know if they know about these effects. I need a lot of results.
