Haifa Closes 5 Factories over Cancer Fears; Pollution Ruining Iconic India Monuments

(Before It's News)

Israeli port city closes 5 factories over cancer fears. The mayor of Haifa, Israel’s third largest city, ordered Sunday the closure of five petrochemical plants following a health ministry warning linking high cancer rates to air pollution.

It’s not just the Taj Mahal—pollution is ruining many other iconic monuments in India. Toxic air spouting out from burning trash and exhaust pipes has taken its toll on the facades of some of the country’s sacred heritage sites.
