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 new report reveals there are now 13,500 fewer polluting cars being driven into central London every day

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