At a news conference today in Geneva, scientists revealed research that shows tiny particles released from burning fossil fuels are helping to cause heart attacks. The tiny particles inflame the heart membranes, and incite cardiovascular disease. It has long been known that burning fossil fuels results in emissions that affect the respiratory system, but this in new evidence that links fossil fuels to problems in the circulatory system, specifically heart attacks.

Particles are light and can travel 1,200 to 1,900 miles through air currents, making pollution of this type a global problem.
