Study finds school children in London are exposed to high levels of air pollution

A report highlights that many children in London are exposed to illegal levels of air pollution at school, raising concerns about their long-term health. Efforts like planting trees in school gardens help, but pollution levels remain high. In 2013, a significant number of London schools were near high nitrogen dioxide levels. The government has introduced measures like additional charges for polluting vehicles in central London. The issue extends beyond London, with the EU warning several UK areas about pollution. Calls for a new Clean Air Act and clean air zones are growing, with plans expected in the spring.
