  2. WOW James Peters…this is more serious than what the “officials” have been feeding us, supposedly. But while awaiting even more interesting developments let me tell you about location. Locations for schools, especially for the developing young, which are near, too near in fact, to major source of air pollution like major roads. There are now plenty of studies linking health troubles, air pollution and heavy traffic.
