<p>I saw this yesterday (Sunday) on the A406. My wife took a short clip. Watch beyond the first 5 seconds and you will see what we are up against. When you want to demonstrate a point the observer affect always seems to kick in, but immediately prior to this the rear of this vehicle was like a smoke screen.</p>

<p>Apparently 1 in 40 cars are responsible for over 50% of road traffic related pollution. My wife told me this as she was looking for somewhere to report this. Of course there is no one to report this kind of pollution to for cars...</p> The Mayor of London can't rea…tag:harringayonline.com,2018-10-26:844301:Comment:11290042018-10-26T06:12:01.853ZCharlotte Ahttps://harringayonline.com/profile/CharlotteAngell
<p>The Mayor of London can't really do much about any of those things as the funding cuts came from central government. He can do something about the air quality though. Which may be better than it was in the 50s, but it's still dangerously poor. <a href="https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/pollution-and-air-quality/health-and-exposure-pollution" target="_blank">https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/pollution-and-air-quality/health-and-exposure-pollution</a> </p>

<p>A "bit of pollution" is apparently the biggest environmental risk to public health in Europe:</p>

<p>My concern is that we have some far bigger issues that need solving ahead of a bit of pollution that isn't actually as bad as it has been in the past. Homelessness, Education underfunding, Increasing poverty though the widingin wealth gap. These should be things that get solved first.</p>

<p>Is a one percent drop between 2005 and 2011 significant ? 7 years out of date and cars only. I suspect the foundries and docks disappeared long before 2006.</p>
<p>I wonder how many cars and commercial vehicles were on our roads in, say, 1958.</p>

<p>The limits may have changed in legal framework terms, but that doesn't really have anything to do with actual pollution levels.</p>
