Show Notes

GOSHpods goes Green is BACK for a second series, focussing on air pollution. Over the next eight weeks, we will explore the impact of air quality on our health, factors contributing to air pollution, and start to think about what we can do as individuals and as healthcare professionals to improve our air quality and advocate for change!

This week, we are joined on the podcast by Dr Abigail Whitehouse, a consultant in paediatric respiratory medicine, and a senior clinical lecturer in children's environmental health, for a conversation about air pollution and asthma, looking in a bit more detail at the effects that pollutants have on our lungs!
