Clearing the air : the beginning and the end of air pollution
Smedley, Tim2019
Books
Air pollution has become the world's single biggest environmental health risk, and science has only recently begun to reveal its wide-ranging effects. 'Clearing the Air' tells for the first time the full story of air pollution: what it is, which pollutants are harmful, where they come from and - most importantly - what we can do about them. It is time to find out what's happened to the air we breathe. Air pollution is a problem that can be solved. This volume carries an empowering message: the overwhelming majority of air pollutants are local, short-lived, and can be stopped at source; the benefits to health can be instant and dramatic. The stories uncovered on Tim's journey show how the fightback against air pollution can and does work. We can all play a part to clear our air.
