London nurseries to get air purifiers after toxic air concerns

Mayor Sadiq Khan says toddlers' exposure to air pollution is 'inexcusable'

A group of state-run nurseries in London are to be given air filtration systems as concern grows about the impact of the UK's toxic air on some of the capital's youngest and most vulnerable residents.

Five nurseries have been selected for the purifiers in the first wave, with 20 nurseries being audited to measure the extent of toddlers' exposure to the potentially deadly particles from vehicles.
