Magazine Issue 8: Toxic Pollution / Toxic Detective - interview with Dr Dick Van

“I’m a GP who took early retirement due to ill health. I have looked into the health effects of industrial air pollution due to the mishandling of toxic waste and would estimate that in the UK we have anything up to 20,000 deaths a year which you can pin directly to industrial pollution.” The Royal Brompton Hospital has estimated the bill to the NHS due to pollution to be as high as £11 billion per year. And that's not counting the wider costs to society. Nobody's ever dared to tot that up.
