  Although the press release above relates to Deal I thought it worth putting up. I havent had a chance to look on the DDC website but I am assuming they also monitor the air here in Dover. I remember having such a discussion with Nigel C some while back.
  
  I often wonder what happens if they do indeed monitor it and the results are bad or very bad. I mean to say, what can they do about it after they gather a set of bad figures?? Would love to know.We had a Neighbourhood Forum meeting at the Town Council offices a year or so back and it was well attended and fairly animated because of this topic.It is something people are very worried about.
  
  The visiting bod assured the gathered throng all was reasonably okay. But people did not believe him. Many tales were told to the contrary.
  
  However Ive done my own PaulB immediate survey. Trees planted beside the main road either die or remain thin and spindly and live a 'near death' experience all their lives. Trees planted in Millers/Travel Lodge are healthier the further they get away from the road. Its almost weird. But you can see the problem in action, or could. Many of them have left the scene and have, one hopes, gone to that happy hunting ground where mighty oaks go.
  
  The fumes are atrocious here. Trucks linger all night and day at times, and you can cut the thick putrid air with a knife. The ships pollute like mad anyway. When the wind comes from the East here the place fills with acrid kerosene vapours. Honest to gawd you cant light up yer fag for fear of lethal ramifications.Booosh!
