Air quality views sought for new chemical pollution study
AIR quality campaigners are pushing their message to anoth er new forum. M em b e rs of th e

dust analysis at the hospi tal had obviously caused some difficulties, with a suggestion that smoking had affected readings in one place. He pointed out that the
Community Health Coun cil had raised questions about possible dust prob lems following the re-open ing of Bellman Quarry. "We are happy to hear
the Blackburn, Hyndbum and Ribble Valley CHC's Community and Ambu lance committee discussed the dust controversy at Clitheroe Hospital. The discussion was a

It maintains there is no pressure from general practitioners and no figures to show they treat any more chest or other cases which might be linked to alleged pollution than would be expected, statisti cally, among the number of people who live locally.
