Asthma is certainly something that I don't recall anybody I knew

At least 4 people in my class at primary school had it and 3-4 in
my
secondary school, as did I.

We didnt advertise the fact tho.

I had a cousin with asthma but that was a rarity in the 1940s.

Think it might have depended on where you live. Pollution varied
greatly
across the UK.

I grew up in London.

London might be one city but there are differnt places in London.

However, that is applying modern standards. According to this article,
today both NOx and particulates are at a quarter of the level they were
in the 1970s:

But they aren't testing like with like, isn't this why we thought desiel
was the anwser to the pollution problem in the 70s.

In the 70s in our street there were plenty of gaps between
cars now there is no gaps and peole double parking. Yes
cars are spewing out less visable ****, but the stuff coming
out of the modern diesiels along with platiium and lots
more from tires the 'pollution' is more dangerious.

No evidence of that with the tyres.
