john watson, many thanks.o low levels of air pollution is linked to changes to the heart similar to the sort seen in the early stages of heart failure. a study of 4,000 people in the uk found those who lived by loud, busy roads had larger hearts on average than those living in less polluted areas. the study was part—funded by the british heart foundation and carried out by queen mary university in london. so how much of a threat is air pollution to our hearts and overall health, and how can we solve it? lets talk now to chloe watson from the british heart foundation, faiza yasin who was born with congenital heart disease and is affected by pollution, who speciliases in pediatric and environmental medicine at queen mary university. chloe, this research was part funded by the bhf, in simple terms, what did it find? this research project was funded by the british heart foundation. they looked at 4000 people, and they found that those people living close to the busy roads had changes in the structure of their hear
