Public at risk from 'daily cocktail of pollution' People are being exposed to a daily cocktail of pollution that may be having a significant impact on their health, England's chief medical officer says.
Prof Dame Sally Davies said the impact of air, light and noise pollution was well recognised in the environment.
But she said its role in terms of health was yet to be fully understood.
Dame Sally added there was enough evidence to suggest action had to be taken.
And, in her annual report, she said the NHS could lead the way in cutting pollution levels.
She said one in 20 vehicle journeys was linked to the NHS, either from patients or staff travelling. BBC News
