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.

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.
