Dr Justin Varney, Director of Public Health for 黑料视频, who has also contributed to the film, added:

“Air pollution is a hidden danger that we just cannot ignore. The crisis will only continue to worsen if no action is taken.

“Toxic fumes affect our lungs, our hearts and even our brains, the damage pollution does is both short and long term when it comes to health. We have a city to protect and this is just one of steps we are taking to give a better future to our children and improve the lives of our adults and older people.”
