Answer to Question 1

Cities have more pollutants in the air and therefore do have higher rates of lung
ailments than rural areas.

Answer to Question 2

It is important to compare risks with other risks to see which one carries more.
This is an apples to apples, oranges to oranges comparison strategy. The creation of the
microrisk idea by Marx was an attempt to quantify different risks the same way.
Experts in risk analysis try as much as possible to make these comparisons. Table 26.2 is
such an attempt.
The assessment of risk involves art as well as science. How much is a human life worth?
It's hard to be sure how to evaluate this.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
