Seaside air could carry deadly pollution

[Still Waters]

A bracing stroll along the beach breathing in lungfuls of fresh sea air is widely considered to be beneficial to health.

But a new study suggests that refreshing sea breezes may actually contain a toxic cocktail of pollution caused by ferries, container ships and other sea traffic.

A study of the air along coastal areas for the specialist science journal Oceanologia discovered high levels of 'hazardous nanoparticles' which can penetrate the lungs and cause heart disease and other ailments.

How about showing some gratitude to the industry that gets the stuff people want in the shops rather than bleating about 'Toxic Pollution'?
