Humans were not designed to work or live with machines and even moreso if those machines are a constant source of air pollution like the generators we keep at home.

Air pollution is one of the leading causes of heart problems. When the air is polluted, it causes one's blood system some tension mostly leading to hypertension which is a silent killer and leads to cardiac problems.

Remember, the doctors would tell you not to smoke, eat good food and exercise so that you may avoid heart problems? Well there are a lot of Nigerians who spend a lot of their lifespan living close to generators which are themselves air pollutants as they give off carbon monoxide.

There has been lots of reported cases of carbon monoxide poisoning in family homes in Nigeria that caused whole families to die in their sleep. Mnay of them did not see it coming because CO is an colourless, odourless but poisonous gas which can kill humans when highly concentrated in a room but also causes long term problems when you are periodically exposed to this.

Nigerians can live longer if they don't spend most of their times living close to generators and that's why at times living in the village where there are more trees and less pollution is really preferred by most people.

So generators could be killing a lot of Nigerians without their knowing. Generators are dangerous and leads to long term heart diseases which reduce your lifespan. Nowadays, most Nigerians live to be only 50 or 60 unlike the good old days when people live to be 90 and 100 or even 120.
