	Study claims L.A. pollution worst in morning http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1244736410 The early-morning hours are the most toxic time of day for those who live downwind of freeways, a yearlong study shows. The pollutants are also nearly 10 times more far-reaching than previously thought, according to the researchers, who measured pre-sunrise air toxins around Interstate 10 in 2008. "I would certainly say that this has implications for those who live near all the major freeways," said Dr. Arthur Winer, the principal investigator. "We need to make those measurements, but I would suspect the same would be found throughout the region." Scientists from UCLA's School of Public Health found the most toxic time of year is winter, before sunrise, in cities that are south of the freeway.
