   well they are finding forever-chemical and micro-plastics in all freshwater in the USA now and even in ALL mother's milk

   so safe bet that cancer rates are never going to be lower than they are today

   remember US also just deregulated all pollution from power plants, funded re-starting coal plants and dropped car engine efficiency requirements

   oh they are also trying to double oil-fracking output which toxifies groundwater and air for miles around it with offgassing

   every rocket launch and deorbit by starlink et all also put toxic pollution into the atmosphere

   so next decade should end well for cancer rates

      Bringing up Starship launches in the same discussion with car emissions is like bringing up skateboards when talking about traffic jams.

      One big help for car emissions would be to make them electric.
