H E A LT H A N D E Q U A L I T I E S Health • We estimate an equivalent of up to around 9,400 deaths were caused by long-term exposure to air pollution. • A baby born in 2010 and exposed to that same level of air quality for its entire life would lose 2.2 years (if male) and 2 years (if female) of life expectancy. Fairness • The health impacts associated with air pollution fall disproportionally on our most vulnerable communities, affecting the poorest and those from minority ethnic groups more acutely. • Tackling air pollution is about social justice and there is an urgent need to do more to tackle public health inequalities. Legal compliance • Like most major European cities, London does not meet the legal requirements for some pollutants (mainly Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) but issues remain with Particulate Matter).
