Donora killer smog
"On Oct. 26, 1948, the small steel town of Donora, Pa., was blanketed by a thick, toxic smog. Within a week, some 20 people had died. Nothing was done to clean up the zinc mill responsible, however, just as little was done in 1952, when a 'killer smog' in London caused at least 2,800 deaths in one week."
— Amanda Paulson, Christian Science Monitor

Asbestos
Asbestos used to be widely employed because of its ability to fireproof hardened materials, whether roof sheets, floor tiles, furnaces and wiring, or cement building blocks. Once invisible particles of asbestos are deeply inhaled into the lung, they can leave telltale scars that can give rise forty years later to lung cancer or to mesothlioma, a slowly suffocating cancer.

Finland's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) recommends restricting children's use of mobile phones, January 7, 2009
The Authority says radiation from mobile phones could pose a health especially because children tend to use mobile phones much more than adults and their brains are developing. The authority says that the degree of risk will only become known in several decades. They encourage text messaging and hands free units or ear pieces. Speaking in areas with poor reception causes phones to use more power and should be avoided. More
