TACKLING POLLUTION IN LONDON � Elliot Treharne � Air Quality Manager �
HEALTH AND EQUALITIES � Health � • We estimate an equivalent of up to around 9,400 deaths were caused by long-term exposure to air pollution. � • A baby born in 2010 and exposed to that same level of air quality for its entire life would lose 2.2 years (if male) and 2 years (if female) of life expectancy. � Fairness � • The health impacts associated with air pollution fall disproportionally on our most vulnerable communities, affecting the poorest and those from minority ethnic groups more acutely. � • Tackling air pollution is about social justice and there is an urgent need to do more to tackle public health inequalities. �
