Recent data shows that 95% of London residents are living in areas that exceed the legal limit of air pollution by over 50%.
Further concerns about the unprecedented rise in asthma related deaths have been linked with the crisis across the UK. There is also a rise in the number of children being treated in A&E for shortness of breath this summer (2018).
