Air quality crisis
03 June 2015
ITV’s ‘Tonight’ programme on 19th May 2015, entitled ‘The Air That We Breathe’ highlighted the problem with portable aethalometers from Air Monitors, fitted to four people during their normal working day. Each of the group was exposed to high levels of black carbon, which is a product of combustion, from diesel engines for example.
Air Monitors MD Jim Mills commented: "The programme painted a bleak picture, but it was good to see this problem being given the publicity it deserves, because air pollution causes more premature deaths than alcohol, obesity or road traffic accidents. We supplied aethalometers because black carbon is a very good indicator of urban air quality."
