Air pollution
Air pollution is an emerging risk in London. Air pollution can cause both short and long term effects on health, and many people are concerned about pollution in the air that they breathe.
The UK Government Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) provide a daily pollution summary, and pollution alerts and notifications that will be issued when air pollution thresholds are exceeded.
