Quotes

"A short deck section, around 15m (50ft) in length, towards the east end of the existing bridge has a gradient of up to 8 per cent [1:12]."
"This problem urgently needs further investigation. Confirmation of these results would require decisive action to reduce pollution."
...oncentrations of tiny particles can be much higher in cars, trains, buses, railway stations and other enclosed spaces than outdoors, he pointed out. "These tend to be the places where we spend most of our time and yet they are the environments that we know least about in terms of air quality" he said
