Every year in Scotland 2500 people die premature deaths as a result of air pollution. It’s a staggering loss of life than can and should be prevented. Globally there are nine million deaths a year (or one in six adults) due to environmental reasons.
'What’s that got to do with crime' I hear you ask? Quite a lot actually. You’d have to be living on, well, another planet, not to know that climate change is the most pressing problem facing Earth right now.
But there are other environmental issues the authorities are having to tussle with. And they impact on us all. Illegal pollution is hugely profitable, with devastating consequences for communities and the environment.
