Is there an EXPERT out there prepared to find a correlation between vehicle exhaust fumes and asthma?
Unlikely because most people drive cars or use buses and taxis so to reduce the vehicles on the roads would be too much of an inconvenience.

I'm not disputing what you say JB but he fact is that 20 years go asthma was not diagnosed like it is today, I know because I was being treated of asthma for 5 years before anybody told me that I had it, I always thought I had bronchitis. And nobody realised just how dangerous asthma can be, I spent years trying to educate people on the dangers of asthma, thankfully it is more readily recognised today and treated in the correct way
