So - yes. Pollution is bad and that's obvious.
But! Actually parsing out the contributions of pollution (particulate matter 2.5) is really hard with data because it's very tied in with a lot of other variables like postcode deprivation. Are you only looking at folk who live there now? What about the guy who moves and has a heart attack?
So not disagreeing at all but estimates of what it actually contributes to poor health are harder than folk make out. |
