Asthma attack
From next week on, many thousands of drivers will have to pay a new charge to enter the center of London.
In fact, scientists said that the impact of the polluted air is bigger than expected, and cause Asthma attack. A person who suffers from asthma attack because of the dirty air can have breathing problems and it is very difficult to heal especially for children. For example, some people had to stay up one night because their chests or lungs were in really bad conditions. It is as much dangerous because it can do damage to the brain and other parts of the body.
The aim of the charge is to raise people's awareness of the situation and make them react by taking a more ecological transport for example. Even if some countries do effort to improve the situation, some people don’t consider this as a real threat because we can’t see to the naked eye the air pollution or the dangerous particles in the air.
To our mind this action of the British government is a really positive thing to reduce diseases caused by the air pollution but it is also a good way to limit environment problems like the rising of the oceans or the increase of the temperatures.
