You are right, dealing with one issue would impact on the other, unfortunately our politicians don't like to think long term because they want votes now and they don't really care about what happens when their term in office is over. We need more long term joined up thinking.

I ma currently living in the outskirts of a city and the difference it is making is immense...the last time we fell ill was a year back when we were living in the city...so shows how the kind of air you breathe makes a difference...

You know, I never really thought seriously what air pollution was doing to our bodies or what it could do. This is truly scary. Thank you for the information and pass on any more that you come across because this is truly interesting.
