Abstract
This keynote presentation explored contemporary issues of air pollution through the lens provided by history. It presents a perspective drawn from an analysis of historical, and mostly failed, attempts to manage air pollution from classical times until today. It asked the question why have we not learnt from the lesson history provides? It did so with the benefit of 2020 hindsight!
