A new Local Government Regulation publication makes the point that tackling pollution should be considered alongside other important local health issues such as reducing smoking, healthy eating and exercise. The Local Government Regulation document “A clean bill of health”  summarises, for councillors and other local decision makers, the health effects of pollution and what councils and their partners can do to improve the health of their communities. It also gives examples of councils that have put pollution reduction to improve health into practice and what else can be done.
