UK: Air Pollution; Nitrogen Dioxide

"Thousands of British children exposed to illegal levels of air pollution", The Guardian

"The analysis of the most recent government data exposes how dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution from diesel traffic are not limited to large metropolitan centres, but threaten the health of children and young people in towns and cities from Newcastle to Plymouth".

"Towns as far afield as Plymouth, Poole and Hull all had nurseries and schools in areas above legal NO2 limits".
