GLIN==> The Environment Report for 04.29.09

Today on The Environment Report...  

An epidemiologist doesn't rule out 
the swine flu might have started at 
a factory farm, but there's no solid 
evidence for that scenario right now.  

Also, Rebecca Williams reports that 
since there's no vaccine for swine flu, 
the best medicine is washing your hands 
frequently.  We'll get some tips on the 
best things to do to avoid the flu.  

And... the American Lung Association 
issues its annual "State of the Air" 
report.  Air pollution is getting worse 
in the most polluted cities.
