We discuss:
  • What are the different kinds of pollutants in the air?
  • How we established a causal link between air pollution and health outcomes?
  • What are the key organ systems affected by air pollutants?
  • What is the current status in London, the UK, and the world regarding our ability to mitigate the effects of air pollution?
