London, Greenpeace,
in partnership with the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), today
released Lethal and Illegal (1), new air pollution research based on modelling
from King’s College, that shows clean air will be a reality
only if diesel vehicles are phased out altogether. The paper will be presented
today at City Hall at an event attended by Deputy Mayor for Transport, Val
Shawcross, and representatives from the Royal College of Physicians and businesses.
New modelling based on transport emissions and
air pollution data undertaken by King’s College as part of this project reveals
that, even if London were to return to the lowest recorded level of diesel car
ownership in the UK (around 10% of the car fleet in 1995), it would still not
reach compliance with World Health Organisation guidelines and UK law by 2025.

It was Winston Churchill who famously said "Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have." We couldn't agree more, that's why we scaled 15 of London's most iconic statues to crystallise the importance of air pollution in the hearts and minds of politicians.
40,000 lives are cut short by air pollution across the country, but David Cameron has the power to change things. Click here to demand action for clean air now!

Air Pollution is disgusting, dangerous and deadly. 40,000 lives were cut short by air pollution in the U.K. 10,000 of those deaths occurred in London alone. Whilst children, the elderly and sick and vulnerable people breathe in toxic air, politicians who have the power to change things are simply hiding their heads in the smog.

We all need to get from A to B, to go to work, to take our children to school. But we shouldn't have to breathe toxic air in order to do so. The Government must develop an action plan to clean up our air, improve our journeys and save thousands of lives every year.
We desperately need a clean air action plan to save thousands of lives every year.
Here are five policy areas the government should focus on immediately.
