Description: The Invisible Killer by Gary Fuller Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An urgent examination of one of the biggest global crises facing us today, air pollution, looking at the rise of the problem, how we understand it and what needs to change. Publisher Description The air pollution that we breathe every day is largely invisible - but it is killing us. How did it get this bad, and how can we stop it? Far from a modern-day problem, scientists were aware of the impact of air pollution as far back as the seventeenth century. The Invisible Killer will introduce you to the incredible individuals whose groundbreaking research paved the way for todays understanding of air pollution. Gary Fullers global story examines devastating incidents from Londons Great Smog to Norways acid rain; Los Angeless traffic problem to wood-burning damage in New Zealand. Fuller argues that the only way to alter the future course of our planet and improve collective global health is for city and national governments to stop ignoring evidence and take action, persuading the public and making polluters bear the full cost of the harm that they do. The decisions that we make today will impact our health for decades to come. Author Biography Dr Gary Fuller is an air pollution scientist at Imperial College London.
