Scientists are now warning drivers that car fumes and braking too hard is causing a sudden spike in heart attacks.
According to a new study, fumes from vehicle exhausts caused by heavy braking increases the risk of a driver getting a heart attack.

Researchers looked at the links between air pollution from traffic, such as nitric oxide and particulates, and the number of heart attacks.
Dailymail.co.uk reports: Nitric oxide (NO) originates from combustion at high temperatures, in particular from diesel engines.
Combustion, abrasion from brakes and tyres and dust are also sources of harmful particulates.
Analysis of 18,000 Berliners revealed higher daily levels of NO increased incidence of heart attacks.
Smokers appeared unaffected by smog perhaps because they already inhale toxic fumes, experts said.
Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, of the British Heart Foundation, said: ‘These findings add to evidence that dirty air is linked to a higher risk of heart attacks in non-smokers.’
Up to 11,000 UK deaths from heart disease and circulatory conditions a year may be caused by air pollution.
The European Society of Cardiology will hear the findings this week.
It was also found heart attacks fell in hot weather.
Every 10C rise in temperature was associated with a 6 per cent lower incidence.
The study included 17,873 patients who suffered a heart attack between 2008 and 2014.
Study author Dr Insa de Buhr-Stockburger, from the Berlin Brandenburg Myocardial Infarction Registry (B2HIR), said: ‘The correlation between air pollution and heart attacks in our study was absent in smokers.
‘This may indicate that bad air can actually cause heart attacks since smokers, who are continuously self-intoxicating with air pollutants, seem less affected by additional external pollutants.’
She added: ‘The study indicates that dirty air is a risk factor for acute myocardial infarction [heart attacks] and more efforts are needed to lower pollution from traffic and combustion.
‘Causation cannot be established by an observational study.
‘It is plausible that air pollution is a contributing cause of myocardial infarction, given that nitric oxide and PM10 promote inflammation, atherosclerosis is partly caused by inflammatory processes, and no associations were found in smokers.’
Heart and circulatory disease causes one in four deaths in the UK, with one in eight men and one in 14 women dying from this cause.
Every year, 80,000 people are admitted to hospital in England after a heart attack.

With myriad causes , I’m so lucky not to be having 30 infarctions a day!
Of course I forgot to get safely and effectively poisoned … https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6cbd37b0103aef10443b3918eee58abd0e17d6db4003dbbefde5fcfec598abc9.jpg
they wont let me comment on this article using certain words. wow.
They don’t want diesel cars for other reasons. The real reason for the HA, is the J@bs. M1cro C1ots Sh0ts
Creative.
What a steaming pile of bullshit! they will use any excuse except the real cause. The clot shot.
Amazing that for years this was overlooked. I mean what else could possibly cause this? Nothing recent would coincide with this baffling mystery. I also saw that we now know coffee and tea are very deadly and cause heart attacks as well.
Especially, if you were drinking them on the way home from the jab center.
Yeah, cars have been around for 140 years or so.
Anything

Vaxx
Hot weather reduces heart attacks? But there’s no heat stroke in cold weather. Maroons. Come down here today; it will be 98 degrees by 2:00PM with a heat index of 118 and a UV level 12. But fewer heart attacks!
Yes it’s car fumes and brake dust, not being triple boosted.

Scientists on the payroll…ANYTHING BUT ‘their’ Jab.
No, the spike is due to being jabbed and the 2,800% spike in Myocarditis. Some auto insurance companies are considering using clauses in the insurance plans to circumvent payouts if jabbed.
Everyone, look over there, not at the jab!
