Every breath you take: an investigation into air quality in London

This Environment Committee report says London’s air quality - amongst the worst in the UK and Europe and well below targets set by the European Union – is having a severe and costly impact on the National Health Service.

To address this, the Committee calls on the Mayor to set out detailed projections of the costings, timings and impacts of policies contained in his forthcoming air quality strategy. Drawing on a broad base of submissions and successes in other European cities, the report recommends actions the Mayor can take to improve air quality and protect Londoners’ health.
