“CLEAN AIR WE BREATHE?” It is comforting to learn from Dr Vijay Kumar, Director of Public Health, that we, the Gibraltarians, breathe clean air that is generally good.(Gibraltar Chronicle 11th November 2003). The ESG and no doubt the public in general, would however be doubly comforted if he were to support his statement with hard scientific data. This would go a long way to allay the fears held by those who suffer from respiratory problems in Gibraltar. We need air monitoring data that comprehensively shows on a regular basis, the levels of pollutants in strategic areas on the Rock. Without this the Director’s remarks are meaningless.
