Residents Environmental Case - Overview

For the past ten years Port Talbot has consistently failed to meet EC air quality limits for Particulate matter under 10 microns called Pm10. This harmful pollution contains amongst other things trace elements of Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury and other carcinogenic products of combustion. Pm10 is fine enough to pass through the lung tissues into the body. It damages the heart, respiratory system and reduces life expectancy.
