I read some time back about a GP who'd been born bred trained and had a practice in the very industrial North , who re-located to a more rural area . The very first post mortem he did there , he thought he'd discovered a new disease , pink lung disease !

There is considerable natural variation in the colour of lung tissue when it is viewed post mortem. Even healthy tissue can appear quite dark. I would not draw any conclusions from the video above.

I have spent the most of my 77 years living in a town once famed as being the dirtiest town in the United Kingdom and many of those years were spent working in the local chemical industry.

I dread to think what our lungs may look like!

Nature already thought of that. The lungs have their own waste disposal system. Unfortunately it works kind of 'indirectly' in that it tends to collect incoming garbage in a film of mucus, then wafts it up your throat until you swallow it and pass it out the other end.

Or settles in there as bronchitis!
