Air pollution affects us all. It has been linked to effects on lung development in children, heart disease, stroke, cancer, asthma exacerbations and increased mortality, among other health effects. Apart from air pollution in our own homes, we as individuals have little control over the level of pollution we and our families breathe – this should be seen as a social problem to be solved.
Outdoor air quality in this country has improved significantly since the 1980s. We can and must go further to reduce air pollution – and it is technically possible to do so. Government, many industries and sectors have a part to play in the solution.
The report highlights the solutions that can be achieved in various sectors and makes clear the need for us to be proactive in reducing outdoor air pollution. The path to better outdoor air quality is clear. However, indoor air pollution is becoming an increasing problem as outdoor air pollution improves. We need a better understanding of how we can prevent and reduce indoor air pollution.
