The New South Wales (NSW) Government says air quality will be watched closely near ventilation stacks for the proposed NorthConnex tunnel. It will link the M1 and M2 motorways in Sydney and cost $A3bn, and has sparked concern about the impact of pollution in the upper north shore area among doctors of the Australian Medical Association’s NSW branch and the Asthma Foundation of NSW. Local resident and medical practitioner Ray Nassar is handing the Government a petition with 250 signatures by colleagues

  1. The problem is the tunnel has an incline to surface at Wahroonga. If they had designed the tunnel 1 km longer, it could be horizontal with the stack near the Hornsby industrial area. A horizontal road has 1/5th the emissions compared with a road on an incline. See facebook.com/EquilibriaProposal
