Health Impacts of Air Pollution – Is the air safe for our children?

air pollution lecture
The East West toll road means more cars on the road, more climate pollution and more air pollution, with tunnel ventilation stacks near homes and a primary school. A new report from the Secret Agent (signup required to view report) has drawn attention to air pollution in areas near the proposed toll road, with the report raising health issues as well as linking air pollution to property prices.

It finds that property prices are falling in areas affected by the toll road proposal. “The Burnley Tunnel modelling showed for every metre further away from a ventilation stack, a home gained about $61 of value per square metre. Mr Osborne said if the vent affected parents’ willingness to send their children to the school, it could further hurt property prices across the school zone.”
