One major determinant of the health and well-being of a population is the quality of the environment. In promoting public health in general, the starting point for taking action has long been the scientific evidence on the causes of problems and the implications of the causes identified for the control measures to be used.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every year around 7 million premature deaths are caused by air pollution. That’s 800 people dying every hour. But the good news is that there is a growing public understanding that action must be taken and businesses and governments are starting to take action. We'll be asking experts in the space about the most successful strategies applied around the world to tackle the issue of pollution.
