An accessible and hard-hitting look at the facts behind air pollution in everyday life. You'll do it 20,000 times a day. Take a deep breath.
But in Delhi, the toxic smog is as bad for you as smoking 50 cigarettes a day. You assume all this air is clean; it's the very breath of life. Even a few days in Paris, London or Rome is equivalent to two or three cigarettes.
Air pollution is implicated in six of the top ten causes of death worldwide, including lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Breathless gives us clear facts about air pollution in our everyday lives, showing how it affects our bodies, how much of it occurs in unexpected places (indoors, inside your car), and how you can minimise the risks. Rooted in the latest science, including real-time air-quality experiments in city streets and ordinary homes, it will allow you to make up your own mind about the risks and trade-offs of modern living - wherever in the world you are.
