A the emergence of a fairly Strong environmental movement there is certainly a very hopeful sign a French said in an interview. A and the problems Are severe enough that it is widely recognized that  have to be dealt  she cites estimates by East european economists that Poland is losing 10 percent to 20 percent of its Gross National product each year to environmental degradation and Czechoslovakia is losing 5 percent to 7 percent. The health costs of pollution in those and other countries Are also staggering if difficult to pin Down. A investments in environmental Protection Are thus virtually guaranteed to provide economic benefits a she writes.

Keeping anger inside raises women s death risk study says Boston up a women who do not show their anger could be making a deadly mistake a Michigan researcher says. A Survey of 372 women and 324 men found that women who habitually suppressed High Levels of anger had a death rate three times greater than those who did not although the same was not True for men Mara Julius from the University of Michigan school of Public health said sunday. The 18-year study compared High and Low scores on a scale of suppressed anger she told a meeting in Boston of the gerontological society of America. Among men however anger suppression appeared to play a role in mortality rates Only for those who had High blood pressure or chronic bronchial conditions she said. Men with systolic blood pressure of 140 and above who tended not to show their anger had twice the death rate of those with High blood pressure but Low suppressed anger scores Julius found. Men with bronchial conditions and High suppressed anger also had double the1 mortality risk. The study also discovered that men with a High degree of suppressed anger but Low blood pressure faced a mortality risk four times lower than those with High blood pressure who repressed anger. That indicates anger itself does not appear to be a mortality risk for men Julius said. Those in the study ranged in age from 30 to 69 in 1971. Julius tracked their mortality rates through 1989, adjusting for age weight blood pressure the condition of their lungs and bronchial passages education and smoking habits. During the study period 17.3 percent of the men and 9.4 percent of the women died.
