Hounslow's air quality and the affect on health
Let's be blunt, the smelly air from Mogden is poo particles floating around for us to breathe in, is that so?Since the restrictions on rubbish disposal and the hike in skip prices in recent years we have noticed more bonfires, some of which are quite caustic. There was one going strong late last night and pretty much over night into this morning. Lots of building sites so it is difficult to work out where the critters are.A few years ago I wrote about a bonfire nearby which was going most of the day with billowing smoke and I reported it because I could not use my washing line, open doors and windows or sit outside. The builder had somebody employed to feed the fire all day. Much cheaper than a skip.Following my complaint a visit was made by the 'support the builders' person inside the Council who told the builder it was perfectly okay to carry on with his bonfire as long as it was a contained fire. The old water tank taken out of the loft was put into use to contain the fire and on it went.We know something is going on because of the affect on a family member who is continually clearing his throat and using more asthma inhalers. Another neighbour moved to Staines and could not believe how his sinus problems cleared up, within a week there was a noticeable improvement.What on earth are we breathing?
