Your thoughts

I am really interested in hearing your feedback about this blog. I welcome your thoughts and opinions about the issues covered such as in-tunnel filtration and pollution.

There is no doubt pollution is having a detrimental impact on the health of Sydney residents. The Woolcock Institute of Medical Research is continuing to study the impact of the Lane Cove Tunnel on the respiratory health of residents. The findings will be interesting, especially considering Epping Road will soon be narrowed to one lane each direction, forcing traffic into the tunnel and pumping out more toxins into the air resident's breathe. Concern about unfiltered pollution will not die down until tunnel stacks are filtered.

Now over to you - do you think in-tunnel filtration is a necessity? Should Australia have better air quality standards and monitoring? Before reading this blog did you realise how dangerous the health-impacts of pollution are? Does it surprise you that twice as many Sydneysiders die from air pollution than car accidents? Does the public have enough information about these issues? What more could be done?
