Nice update on progress. Thanks.

Your idea of a panel on this subject has great potential. Medical professionals plus some air quality experts and some home environmental specialists could have quite a stimulating discussion.

here in my local area in SOUTH AUSTRALIA there have been 5 carfires this year, and yet Electric Cars on our short felly crossing to KI have to be at the back ofthe ferry so it can be pushed off it it catches fire...😂😂😂😂😂 So sad.

Why is misinformation not mandated to be removed from all media? When I word search information on AdBlue on the internet, the misinformation is prevalent and the negative information is even “Fact Checked” in the articles I found. This is the evil that we face everyday about a great many issues today.

Thanks

Excellent. Informative. Hoping the move to pure EV is faster than expected.

Also worth mentioning... lung cancer still has among the highest death rates... with modern procedures most cancers have become way more survivable but not lung cancer

Im getting out of the city partially because of this.. building a house in the sticks buying only evs will get pvs when i can... its gonna cost a lot but i think its the right thing to do and will mean less headaches in the long run

If you want clean air then stop the government cloud seeding and poisoning it with all sorts of chemicals

My sister had terminal lung cancer in 2020. Never smoked (but was with her husband for 18 years and he smoked indoors). She usually lived near busy roads. Unfortunately she contracted Covid and was taken from us a lot sooner than the doctors had estimated. I wish more people were conscious of when they smoke and how it is harmful to others and not just themselves.

Do yall have a website with some of these stats to share w others?

If part of the heat for those hot bricks could be heat-pump, mind blowing efficiency.

BE ships must be at an inflection point because our idiot ex-president was rambling about them last week. SUV buyers deserve all possible scorn.

Thank you Dr Patel, I am so glad to hear all your wise words it is such an important topic and you put it all across so clearly. My best wishes to you and all your patients.

What a pleasure to listen to Dr. Patel. Thank you for bringing him on.

Great video, very informative. This needs to be watched by millions of people.

Toyota will have the last laugh

Yeh because burning coal to produce electricity is totally clean

I recently got rid of the stinky diseasel truck I had for years and it's such a relief to be driving an electric one now. I've been driving ev since 2018 and it makes you more aware of the pollution from ice vehicles

BYD is from China an Enemy to the West, buying any stuff from China so they can point weapons at us!?!

We do the off shore floating receiver: HELIOFLOAT

In Ontario Canada they put ventures on diesel exhausts to pull in extra air to dilute the fumes so you cannot see them. But all the bad stuff is still there.

He doesn't remember very well in this video, which is 2 years old, he says that he has been reading for 17 years and in your video he has been a doctor for 22 years... But despite a minor calculation error, it is very interesting to hear him tell what we probably all know, but deny. ua-cam.com/video/qJ2X6ujqQ9U/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ClevelandClinic :)

"Clean Diesel" is a stupid as "Clean Coal": ua-cam.com/video/fZCvYPmMvz4/v-deo.html

I’m a marine engineer who works with giant, old, smoky, leaky, diesels… I’m a little afraid of the damage my lungs are taking from that smoke. I don’t smoke, but I’ve watched so many of my loved ones die of lung cancer from smoking.

Excellent episode, thank you. We need educators like Dr Patel on the bbc and itv.

Hi I regularly follow your pod cast. I want to put a small correction to you. As a farmer, I can confirm that all new tractors have add blue and a vast amount of emissions equipment on them. Unfortunately, this system can be quite unreliable and costly to fix.

Brilliant! Need more of these doctors talking out loud about these problems!! And teaching more doctors, GPs… !!

How does it feel riding on those stone-block pavements with no suspension?

Thank you Dr Patel, you are obviously very knowledgeable in your subject and a very articulate advocate for reducing/eliminating air pollution problem, I hope more people will listen to you,and act on your advice. Been a pleasure listening to you. I am always sickened by comments by the anti EV brigade who decry EVs at every opportunity and gloat that their 20 year old diesel does 500 miles on a tank full, and the more modern owners who advocate removing the DPF, (even if it is fairly limited in its effectiveness).

There ought to be a requirement for new petrol and diesel cars to show a government health warning on the windscreen, just as with cigarettes...

It’s a shame no one has ever informed politicians about all these facts about air pollution.

I have a very very clever friend who has been diagnosed with Asperger's, which generally features less severe symptoms yet more higher functioning than Autism. He keeps and cares for chickens and ducks and they seem to like him very much? 😊

I live in a small village in North Essex, the school has a air quality monitor and the reading are at times higher than central London. You can always tell when the bus with it's Q of traffic is going past. We need EVs NOW

I am a long term fan of FC/EE and a regular watcher. My minor criticism here is that I wish RL had prepared his interview script a little better. I generally enjoy the rather casual style of these chats, but at times I felt that the fluff detracted a little from what is a very important message. Sorry for the small bit of negativity, Robert, please please please don't give up the great work that you do. On a personal level, here is my small input. I visited LA many years ago as quite a young man, and was puzzled by the brown sky and the strange aroma in the air. But that's just the way it was. Until 3 years ago, when I went EV, I had driven ICE cars for most of my life, including about 16 years on diesel. I knew that this produced "some bad air", but really never gave it a second thought, as I suggest is true of most current ICE drivers. "It's probably a problem, but cars are getting cleaner, aren't they, and how else would I get around, take the kids to school, avoid the useless or non-existent public transport, etc, etc." But this is just the way it is. More recently, I worked on and off for about 10 years in China. One time, flying into Shanghai, I noticed the yellowy brown sediment flowing out of the Yangtze into the ocean. I also noticed that the sky was similar yellowy brown. Hang on, what's happened to the horizon? There seemed to be no dividing line between sea and sky. Hope the pilot knows where he's going... First visit to the town where I worked, about 50 miles outside Shanghai. Mainly push bikes, blue state lorries, a few motor scooters. Over the years, more cars, more scooters. By about the 6th or 7th year, brown sky, itchy eyes, sore throat. But this is just the way it is. Then, the local authority initiated a ban on the sale of motor scooters. (Ring any bells, UK gov?) People switched, seemingly almost overnight, to electric bikes. A year or so later, air you could breathe without coughing. The transformation in the town, and also in Shanghai and Beijing which I visited as recently as 2023, has been dramatic. No, it's still not perfect, still a lot of coal being burnt, but hugely improved. Even London, with the recent introduction of electric buses, low emission zones, etc. has seen significant change. We all, or most of us watching this site, worry about greenhouse gases and global warming, but even if you are a climate sceptic, how can you not notice the poor air many of us are forced to breathe? Maybe it's because, like me, you are also a contributor? Yes, I now have an EV, but I still buy goods delivered to my local supermarket, I still have a gas boiler. Bottom line, we need a lot more podcasts like this. It's a tough transition, and the Merchants of Doubt are in top gear, just as they were with tobacco. Keep it up, RL, and keep asking those difficult questions!

Your guest couldn’t be more wrong about overpopulation and continued economic growth! Man, I just cannot say anything good about your guest. She is ignorant of the horrific damage we are doing to the natural systems that support complex life on Earth! We have converted so much of the Earth to concrete and crops that native species are left with no habitat. That’ll get worse as our population grows! Then there is the starvation and crowding and pollution we are ensuring by overcrowding.

Very good guest today.

You still have a lot of gas hobs in the UK right? Maybe not so good for the indoor environment? Candle light indoors is probably not such a good idea either? Some people like them for the mood lighting...

Thank you Doctor 👏👏

If any youngsters don't know how bad the air was in London back in the 70's, go and race a petrol go kart on an indoor course. A lot of people are physically sick from the quality of the air in those places and that's what it was like in London. 2 things that still shock me are people who go jogging in London even now, they are opening up their lungs and scooping up all the particulates but think they are making themselves more healthy. And the people who say "remember how bad the air was, it's much better now" and think that's an excuse to stop making it even more better.

Excellent, thought-provoking stuff. But 50 minutes long and a lot of filler words in between the killer content. Could it have been edited to 30 without losing impact? This comment doesn’t apply just to this channel. The most noticeable difference between UA-cam and traditional broadcast media is the editing discipline imposed by a fixed time slot.

Dr Patel you are an absolutely brilliant communicator and having to debunk the nonsense that is accepted as fact everyday is crazy. This was a very amazing conversation and I wish these messages could be part of normal life. Things have improved but we need to do so much more.

Dr Patel Thank You! Concise, incredibly intelligent, able to speak to an audience and hold our attention. To speak in language that ordinary lay people understand. Sir, I am grateful to you, thank you for sharing your time. I hope that other EV type channels can have you on as a guest.

We need to build stronger multi-storey car parks to withstand the weight increase from EVs weighing about twice as much as ICE vehicles. Also, we know that heavy vehicles produce more pollution, not just from their engines, but inevitably from their tyres, so we can expect the same to be true of EVs, and I wonder if anyone is taking that into account. OR the environmental damage of mining Lithium, which WE do NOT see because it ain't done here, it's done in poor countries where there is less regulation. As EVs take over, that mining will have to scale up many times, and will become an urgent international environmental issue and scandal. We desperately need viable alternatives to Lithium, using metals that are far less rare and far less energy-intensive to extract and refine. I wonder if in fact we will ever actually be able to do it.

What a lovely man! Well done both

Come for a ride Dr Anant! I cycled with a group of healthcare professionals from London to Glasgow for COP26 (Ride For Their Lives) to highlight the health implications of pollution driven by the climate crisis on child health. I work at a children’s hospital where we include air quality data in our patient systems and our clinical colleagues are encouraged to discuss air quality and environmental conditions with patients and their families. Bob and Dan - keep up the good work!

So specifically, what are the impacts to human life from microplastic pollution? Can you cite a specific study?

The technology exists to almost entirely eliminate particulate emissions from cars. The issues are that it costs money to implement and the OEMs don't think they'll be able to make money off it selling it as an optional feature. In addition to that, it collects toxic sludge that you then need to periodically dispose of. Where? How without increased exposure for the owner? But that can be solved by further increasing costs. Basically, we value money more than health, currently. That's the general answer to why we don't do better: Because someone would make less profit...

Brilliant podcast. Please can you interview Dr Anant Patel on the podcast every year.
