Poorest Londoners most at risk from toxic air, Sadiq Khan says

Mayor joined by Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, whose daughter's death was linked to pollution, at clean air summit

Air pollution is a social justice issue, the mayor of London has said, as he convened a summit of regional and national health leaders to tackle toxic emissions that are damaging the health of Londoners.

For me the issue is very simple: it's one of social justice," Sadiq Khan said, opening the meeting at the Royal College of Physicians in London. It's the poorest people, least likely to own a car, least likely to cause the toxic air problems, who are most likely to suffer the consequences."
