Hi there folks,
Many weeks ago in a newspaper, there was a brief report about a research project which claimed to have found evidence that infants and young children exposed to diesel fumes (eg living next to main roads) have a higher risk and incidence of chronic respiratory diseases in adulthood. Unfortunately, there was no information about who and where the researchers are. Does anyone know of this research and where I might access it? Or even search for it? Also, I want to comment that in the five years that I have been reading this list, there has been a significant change in various areas of the birthing services in Australia. Things we talked passionatly about 5 years ago have now been implemented or addressed or are gaining wider recognition and understanding. I know that many people come to the list disappointed and disillusioned and I want to let you know that our succession of voices IS making an impact. So keep it up in the knowledge that over time we are collectively making a difference. Your passion and dedication is NOT wasted at all; the fact is that change is slow to come (but unavoidable, in the long run). Blessings, Marina "If you want to change the world, begin with changing yourself..."
