Churchgoing may cause cancer

`Churchgoing may be good for the soul but it could also be dangerous for the lungs, according to a study in the specialist European Respiratory Journal. [..]

This is 20 times the European Union (EU) limits for average concentrations of indoor air, as measured over 24 hours.’
