Indoor air pollution usually is a greater threat to human health than outdoor air pollution.. newborns. . Rüedi. S*, . Proietti. Elena*. , . Gorlanova. O, Dick B, . Flück. C. , . Röösli. M, .

London, the capital of the United Kingdom, is notorious for air pollution. In fact, the word smog was first used in 1905 to describe the air in London. Smog is air pollution caused by sunlight acting on gases from automobile and factory exhausts. It sometimes hangs over cities in the United Kingdom. . Dr Clare Beattie. Urban Air Quality Issues. Nitrogen dioxide – not achieving objectives. Particulate Matter (PM) – achieving objectives in Bristol. No threshold for health effects. All the health work relates to PM. Stretch across much of India, Bangladesh, China, and the western Pacific Ocean. Air pollution connects the world. Pollutants can circle the globe in about two weeks. Stricter air pollution standards and continued shifts towards cleaner fuels are needed. = gases & particulate material added to the atmosphere. Can affect climate or harm people. Air pollution. = the release of pollutants. Outdoor (ambient) air pollution. = pollution outside.
