New research also warns poor roadside air quality stunts children’s lung growth by up to 14%

That’s the alarming finding reached in a new study from King’s College London, which examined how particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide contribute to health conditions such as asthma, heart disease, cancer and strokes

A third of the population live in urban ger areas, or settlements of low and middle income households, which suffer from poor sanitation and inadequate solid waste management

They can apply for projects including electric vehicle charging points, cycling infrastructure and developing local online air quality resources

The Central Office of Public Interest has created a new website revealing the level of nitrogen dioxide air pollution at any postcode in London
