faraway saint Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I just seen a report that air pollution, directly from motor vehicles, was a major factor in a 9 year old girl. Makes you glad if you live in an area that's not got high levels of this kind of air pollution. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-55330945 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Sad case. But why not for the child's sake/health move to a less polluted area. Edited December 17, 2020 by pod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier said than done, certainly without knowing the families circumstances. London, as much as it's a shithole, is very expensive. Tragic but a landmark case which could see more come to light and forcing further attempts to reduced pollution from motor vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, look what happened when they took lead out petrol! Murder rates across the developed world dropped like a stone and crime rates decreased significantly. No lead pipes, no lead paint, no lead in petrol = no mad hatters (who also used lead to line hats) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood, Dulwich, Croydon..... ... all Souf of the river! We Londoners prefer to describe such places as... “Northern suburbs of Paris”.

No lead pipes, no lead paint, no lead in petrol = no mad hatters (who also used lead to line hats) I don't believe this can be a school project. I'm used to seeing simple compositions or text overtures, but this is a masterpiece. Such resources https://edubirdie.com/english-homework should contribute to the development of personal qualities. The search for the population is our cross and our problem. This is a good post about human errors and their consequences.
