Common Law has several options. "Nuisance" is one I'd go for. Class action brings the cost right down
Proving actual harm would be hard to impossible to claim. Fine particulates are bad, but they're also ubiquitous and naturally occurring. There are too many variables, and many are only known to within an order of magnitude.
Isn’t what you’re saying, here more geared, toward who do we penalize for a specific death? I guess what I’m thinking is that on an individual basis the morality of whether or not to drive doesn’t require knowing exactly who it is who dies as long as you know gwhat their death is like so that you can assess the morality of driving.
The paper cites deaths, asthma and other forms of disability. All of those are actionable.
Growing flowers also causes those. Trees and grain crops, more so. Sweeping your concrete path on a dry day. Recycling bricks.
Wood fires, in particular, create an enormous amount of fine particulates.
Regulations do not fall equally on all sources, to put it politely.
The highest rates for childhood asthma in Australia are found in South Eastern South Australia and Western Victoria - these are the areas where the pine forest plantations are grown which are used for the production of toilet paper for the whole country.
I don’t see the politicians banning toilet paper and pine forests to “protect people”..
Shhh, you'll give them ideas :-p
If I were a Chinese toilet paper manufacturer, I'd offer exclusive distribution rights to a politician's fat non-binary niece, and put up "Think of the children billboards" wherever journalists are.
paper should also cite vaccine injuries because asthma is a form of mild anaphylaxis and thus fundamentally an immune disorder
since 2014 i have steadily acquired a more and more distinct and acute reaction to foods, even yesterday from apple juice, grain fed eggs and the reaction is bronchial asthma
it's my opinion that the food supply has got steadily more full of allergenic proteins, probably from genetic modification, since i believe that the grain fed to the chickens, for example, is GMO
