air we breathe


air is very important to human. we breathe air constantly. however, with the development of the economy , the air pollution is becoming more and more serious.
let's take a look the negative impact from the traffic continues. Air pollution is believed to reduce life expectancy by seven to eight months, which translates to annual health costs of up to £20 billion for the country as a whole.Increasing levels of car and air travel are causing pollution to rise. Plans for around half a million new houses in the North West will add to the problem – especially when these new homeowners bring their cars on to the roads.The number of regional local authorities that have designated ‘air quality management areas’ is on the increase.
publi transport journeys produce far less carbon emissions than equivalent journeys by car. we need to increase public transport facilities in the North West to improve our air quality.
