Shop staff wish to draw attention to the dangerous air quality they are exposed to daily from exhaust fumes.
Our community cooperative, volunteer run SUSSED is situated in the centre of Porthcawl town and some drivers ‘temporarily park’ leaving engines running directly outside the shop entrance. The gases are flowing into the shop and also affect people running street stalls.
Air pollution from particulates can cause lung cancer, and worsen heart and lung disease. Research has found there is no safe limit of exposure. The fumes also contribute to climate change.
