A new study is the first to report evidence that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin may lessen the adverse effects of air pollution exposure on lung function. The team of researchers from the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, Harvard Chan School of Public Health, Boston University School of Medicine published their findings in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

Good morning! Well,what a very interesting piece of reading which effects every single person,in one form or another. Once again 2greys ,you've been vigilant and brought our air pollution to the forefront with articles such as this and others previously.

By coincidence,our Council is holding a 4 day seminar relating to all things "air " related. I'm thinking that I should go,but as usual my nerves/anxiety is trying to stop me but I'm telling myself that this is very worthwhile and my worries have to be shoved to the side.

I will report back on the seminar which ends on 1st December 2019. 💞

Thank you for your kind words of support. Unfortunately, 90 households were offered to participate in the seminars but only 40 can be chosen ..... so keep your fingers crossed for me!
