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.

Nitrogen dioxide is an emission from vehicular exhausts and some industrial processes. This gas causes severe health problems in humans (and many people are exposed in these Spanish areas). Politicians are often only too willing ignore these requirements, rather than take on vested interests.
