Q: includes: illness & injuries in allied workplaces: prod plants, mechanics, INFRASTRUCTURE. Also, with car pollution not present, clean air alone: what health & health cost savings would there be? Related Q: what studies exist on longterm health effects of factory/plant work? Same for mechanics, tyre fitters, panel beaters, spray painters? Road bitumen/concrete construction/maintenance workers?
