Environmental Audit Committee: Air Pollution in England
Committee hears from witnesses
The Environmental Audit Committee is conducting oral evidence sessions to investigate air pollution levels across England. This inquiry examines the causes, health impacts, and policy responses to air quality problems affecting English communities.
Air pollution is a significant public health issue affecting millions of people across England, linked to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and premature mortality. The findings will inform parliamentary scrutiny of government environmental and health policies, and may lead to recommendations for stronger air quality standards and pollution reduction measures.
