Yesterday, unusually, there wasn’t any wind, a clear sunny day, except for the huge orange pall of smoke hanging over the steel works.
The prevailing west wind usually blows the pollution over Cornelly, Porthcawl and beyond, ironically away from Port Talbot.
The wind very rarely blows easterly, therefore Swansea way is relatively clear.
Seemingly it doesn’t matter about the pollution from the steel works anyway, as long as workers jobs are safe there.
Industrial pollution together with pollution from cars and trucks are killing us and destroying the planet, yet our government and the world at large twiddle their thumbs and do nothing as more and more people suffer with lung disease.
Respiratory diseases are leading causes of death and disability in the world. About 65 million people suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 3 million die from it each year, making it the third leading cause of death worldwide.
