Too many of us breathe poisonous air, and the amount of research linking air pollution to adverse health effects is mounting daily. Although lung diseases are the third leading cause of death in the UK, they are not given the attention they deserve. Air pollution and lung illness
This raises concerns about how air pollution can hasten the progression of lung illness. Politicians continue to backtrack on their pledges to implement a green agenda, endangering the health of present and future generations.
Each year, lung diseases directly cost our health system £11 billion. As the cumulative effect of air pollution on the nation’s lungs grows, this will only get worse. To address this public health crisis, which may cause up to 43,000 premature deaths annually, immediate action is required.
The government implement a targeted scrappage program so that people who need it most can switch to cleaner modes of transportation. As one of the fastest-acting methods to reduce air pollution, clean air zones must be implemented by authorities without hesitation. No one should be exposed to dangerous air pollution levels. Clean air is a right that belongs to everyone.
