What are the threats to health in our environment today? They include pollution of all kinds - of the air, of the food we eat, of water and of land. They include excessive noise from traffic, aircraft and industry. They include, too, bad housing and poor living conditions. How serious are these various threats, how can we deal with them, and to whom can we appeal?
Put your questions to Mick Archer, city Environmental Officer for Birmingham and Adeline Kay, Senior Environmental Health Officer for the County of Westminster.
