It has finally been admitted that toxic fumes from transport may damage every organ in the human body (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2019/may/17/air-pollution-may-be-damaging-every-organ-and-cell-in-the-body-finds-global-review). It is consequently even more worrying that reports on 'hot-spots' in London were apparently suppressed (especially when many of them were close to schools) and that it is only now that people are talking about fixing a time for the replacement of polluting modes of transport. One might almost think that politicians have been in hock to the car lobby.
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.
