UK Air Illegally High In Particulate Matter

Tuesday, 27. July 2010

How’s your breathing, do you suffer with hay fever? Well if your breathing has been affected recently it may not have been because of pollen. It seems that the European Commission has been threatening Britain with legal action for allowing more unhealthy PM10 particulate matter airborne pollution than permitted under EU legislation. Transport is a key source of PM10 pollutants. As a result the UK has been given 2 months by the EC to explain how it is going to deal with the problem. What are your views, has the UK Government been lax in protecting us from these dangers or is this simply the EC interfering with the way we run our country? By Graham Hill
