LBBD's Air Quality Action Plan meeting to be held 15/2/2021
Full details are here, but let's look at a couple of key elements:
LBBD say "Air pollution is associated with a number of adverse health impacts, it is recognised as a contributing
factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most
vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also
often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the
less affluent areas.
The annual health costs to society of the impacts of air pollution in the UK is estimated to be roughly £15 billion 3 . LBBD is committed to reducing the exposure of people in Barking and Dagenham to poor air quality in order to improve health."

Air Quality Monitoring - LBBD say "is critical in terms of understanding emissions and concentrations."
