4. To the doctors on this panel
What are the kind of health hazards
we are looking at when we breathe
polluted air………..

6. To our scientists
What can be done for such
emmissions

10. WHEN WE KNOW ALL THIS
WHY WE DON’T DO ANYTHING
WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY ?

population with its benevolent and protective care”- Thos Avery
KAUN KAREGA YEH SAAB ?

12. WHY DID WE FORGET ALL THE
ENVIORNMENT
• It was about universal “rights”
• It was not about for some or by choice
• It started from a “business” perspective first,
to maximise the opportunities of
industrialisation
• It was about doing the “simple” big things..

13. A Recap
• Air pollution is now related to burning fossil
fuels, from industrialisation
• It is the second biggest cause of preventable
death (after tobacco)
• The economic effects are 4% of GDP
(mainly health effects)
• Governments do not see it as a universal
right.

14. Choice
• Air pollution is greatest next to vehicle
movement or industrial processes (or both)
• Land next to roads, railways etc. is cheap
• People with little economic “power” have little
choice where they can live
• Poor air quality is another manifestation of
low income and not choice
