Have you been wondering how that busy congested main road you commute along every day is bad for your health and the health of your patients?

We chat with Professor Frank Kelly world expert on the impact of air pollution on health. This conversation will help us better understand how these pollutants are a dangerous exposure for many diseases and what is being done about it.

We discuss:

• What are the different kinds of pollutants in the air?
• How we established a causal link between air pollution and health outcomes?
• What are the key organ systems affected by air pollutants?
• What is the current status in London, the UK, and the world regarding our ability to mitigate the effects of air pollution?

Important links:
