much um but it is gonna grow from johns men but uh and i have a question then
00:00:08
that would like to you your comments or your answer as a as a medical doctor
00:00:13
i'm assuming that somebody has lived full work let's say ten or twenty use in an area that
00:00:19
is highly polluted but then moves into a much cleaner your does the body you remember
00:00:26
this you know the pollution what does it recover over time and
00:00:31
you know the artifacts are all gone ready good question um
00:00:35
we don't know the answer for all health outcomes but very interestingly
00:00:39
yes for some outcomes it has been very clearly shown
00:00:43
actually in the two studies that i was involved in the senses the
00:00:46
children start insights accept that is that the we both act
00:00:49
the fantastic privilege to looking exactly that question because pollution has improved
00:00:55
and some people moved thinking they're areas and that it has been shown yes
00:01:00
there is some recovery and actually this is also known from smoking
00:01:04
and this fits very nicely i mean we all know smoking cessation
00:01:07
ah helps a lot a lot of the effects of smoking
00:01:12
uh i can at least not totally disappear but can be alleviated very well
00:01:17
and that's also true for a major effect for air pollution else
00:01:34
on africa i have a big disadvantage starting with
00:01:37
having no regulations having no possibility to measurements
00:01:41
and open sort of things and you are or what was it two wells health organisation
00:01:45
what is sort of projects in the world health organisation
00:01:49
plan with specific to address the problems in africa
00:01:54
well w. joe has their local offices and they do promote a
00:01:59
teaching discussions a a meetings always um related constituencies
00:02:04
um for example actually in the example of terror on i've
00:02:08
shown has been started like that now we do research
00:02:11
uh it's a slow process and uh the involvement of local government is absolutely
00:02:16
essential so that really joe is only one of the few players and i think actually the study i show
00:02:22
the view here has made major impact on the raising
00:02:26
the awareness it like you any more questions
00:02:33
oh
00:02:41
oh i so i'm kind of from india you mention that there's no all single night to put it
00:02:47
but in terms of which one should be first would be fired
00:02:52
in terms of actions problem what would you want to be
00:02:56
will be on on the fuel side would be an industry used
00:03:00
and maybe specific to india
00:03:03
yeah ah i mean the question is where you look at and of course you should look christa local experts
00:03:10
at the situation but in in general what i do see also uh with my own travel
00:03:15
it is now true in many make us it is of the word that traffic
00:03:20
is a huge they domain and problem because the
00:03:23
infrastructure hard organised enormous increase of traffic on
00:03:28
very poor infrastructure to terrible if you win quality that terrible quality of the engine
00:03:33
so i think it is a lot to gain in very short turns and actually the refineries where
00:03:39
you could decide to uh have to sell cleaner fuel i i think this is one of
00:03:45
that makes things but locally it's might sometimes be some industry which is a major is
00:03:52
thank you thank you much i'm will but surprise that you have been a little bit try re probably electrification of the cost of thing
00:03:59
being very polite maybe it's also good for the filtration history but we offer so many many other things even that comes
00:04:05
the trojans tree will still exist overlap okay i think since we're late i would
00:04:11
like to thank approaches country can think much for this very interesting overview
00:04:16
for your information profit seconds people be also so conscious stay here with us today
00:04:21
and he would join the panel discussion after the next session so that will
00:04:25
be also the opportunity for you to ask questions and discuss with it
00:04:29
since we are a little bit late i would kindly ask you to be back here at ten thirty so you don't have to
