Inequalities in health exist‚ whether measured in terms of mortality‚ life expectancy or health status; whether categorised by socioeconomic measures or by ethnic group or gender. Recent efforts to compare the level and nature of health inequalities in international terms indicate that Britain is generally around the middle of comparable western countries‚ depending on the socioeconomic and inequality indicators used. Although in general disadvantage is associated with worse health‚ the patterns

There are many kinds of indoor and outdoor pollution‚ including photochemical smog‚ acid rain‚ and second hand smoke. Air pollution threatens the health of our flora and fauna as well as human health. The impact of these kinds of pollution results in such conditions as the development of diseases like cancer and environmental and human threats such as ozone layer depletion. Reducing pollution without worrying about the costs will be more moral because the whole planet will benefit from it. Air
