    A very recent study has shown that increased exposure to road traffic is likely to cause children to suffer from high diabetes in adulthood.

    Children are especially vulnerable to air pollution.
    "They have a larger lung-to-body volume ratio, their airway epithelium is more permeable to air pollutants, and the lung defence mechanisms against particulate matter pollution and gaseous pollution are not fully evolved"

    Dover has a particularly high level of local road traffic, all Dover's schools are situated directly on main roads.
    The Port traffic is also alarmingly high, including a very high concentration of diesel pollution from an average of 8,000 lorries daily. Plus the ferry engine pollution.
