"There is now an emerging link between ambient urban air and human heart diseases," Incardona said. "Our analysis indicates that these airborne contaminants are likely to be toxic to the human heart when inhaled and should be considered prime suspects in the cardiovascular impacts of urban air." *Incardona of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration joined five other scientists from the U.S. government, Canadian government and academia in the symposium entitled "From Kitchen Sinks to Ocean Basins: Emerging Chemical Contaminants and Human Health." Organized by NOAA's Oceans and Human Health Initiative, the symposium is one of the features of the AAAS annual meeting recently held in Boston. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080216095731.htm
