"Asthma UK believes that pollution plays a role in causing asthma in children and adults, as well as being a trigger that can make people's asthma symptoms worse. Two-thirds of people with asthma tell us that traffic fumes make their asthma worse and 42% find that traffic fumes discourage them from walking or shopping in congested areas. And 85% of people with asthma tell us they are concerned about the effect that increasing vehicle fumes will have on their and their family’s health in the future. There is strong evidence associating the development of asthma with residence near roads with heavy traffic and particularly with vehicles such as diesel-fuelled buses and lorries, which are the source of most particulate matter pollution. Some studies have also suggested a link with adult-onset asthma. In adults, the development of asthma is associated with exposure to traffic fumes, especially PM10 and NO2, where people live rather than at the workplace or while travelling." So its relatively OK to travel in a bus but not on foot on roads that buses use. What's wrong with your search engine Guy?
