Main Roads

August 2nd, 2006 | Pictures

We have very dirty windows. It’s because we live not more than 10 metres from a major road.

As you can see, I could pretty much spit on the road from our back mini-balcony.

That we have dirty windows then is is no great revelation. What I was given cause to wonder quite a while ago was, if the windows get this dirty this quickly, what does that say about the air we’re breathing every day?

What I was looking for was studies about the health risks associated with living by main roads.

A simple Google search using study living near main roads brought up some stuff. I didn’t bother following a single link to read any of the studies, but on first result contents I say, “We’re going to have strokes!”

I don’t know how those millions of people who live along main roads have lasted as long as they have!
