The EEA has apparently warned that air pollution will become responsible for many premature deaths on that continent (that is without even mentioning an even more obvious problem in China) in the near future (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/mar/03/air-pollution-will-kill-thousands-in-europe-eea-warns). The UK is said to be one of the worst offenders, a rather sad state of affairs given our industrial past and The Clean Air Act. There is certainly a perception that our air is clean but being adjacent to a motorway is a risk factor.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
