A London woman whose young son's asthma is so severe he was told by a doctor to ‘avoid busy roads’ due to air pollution thinks Ulez is ‘urgent’.
: ‘We were told by a consultant at our local hospital to avoid busy roads – that was the moment I thought, okay, there’s a real problem here with air pollution.
‘If we are going out, I’ll try and avoid sitting with him at a bus stop of a busy junction, where we’re going to be potentially submerged for 10 minutes breathing in fumes. I’m not saying air pollution causes every asthma attack that he has, but it is proven that air pollution exacerbates that.’ She is glad to see the implementation of Ulez: ‘It’s a public health crisis. It needs to be tackled urgently. There’s premature deaths every year because of pollution.’
Mr Khan previously said air pollution is making Londoners ‘sick from cradle to the grave’, with illnesses such as cancer, lung disease, dementia and asthma.He described the ULEZ as ‘transformational’ and claimed extending it will mean ‘five million more people will be able to breathe cleaner air and live healthier lives’.There are six London councilsin Croydon, southwest London, by a local businessman.
