Default The 20 blackspots for toxic air in London

Quote:

The government was today accused of “dragging its feet while Londoners
choke” on toxic air.

Campaign group ClientEarth launched the attack on ministers on the first
anniversary of its Supreme Court victory which forced the Government to
beef up its masterplan to tackle nitrogen dioxide pollution.

The environmental lawyers also published a list of 20 pollution blackspots
where filthy air far exceeds EU limits.

They include Putney High Street, in south west London, where the average
NO2 concentration level was 133 micrograms per cubic metre between January
1 and April 27, according to monitoring by King’s College London, with EU
regulations saying this score should not be more than 40.

Brixton Road in Lambeth had an average reading so far this year of 128.

While Euston Road in Camden, Marylebone Road in Westminster, and Earls
Court Road in Kensington and Chelsea were all on 86.
