Our neighbour burns 'smokeless' coal throughout winter. Smokeless coal is not smokeless at all - I don't understand why it is still allowed in London and other highly populated areas that already have pollution problems. We can't use certain rooms in our house in the evenings as the smoke seeps in through the draughts in the windows, and we can't go in the garden as the smell is much too strong. It makes me, my husband and two children cough just going about our lives in our own home. I worry about the long-term effect on all of us, but particularly my children.
