Air pollution is not a new problem in the UK – the London smog of 1952 killed 12,000 people. Since then, the effects of climate change, major industry and lifestyle changes have altered the air that we breathe, for example, coal-burning has dramatically declined, while increased road transport has led to new air pollutants.
