UK doctors push for #ULEZ (ultra-low emission zone)
Hundreds of doctors have urged UK politicians to stand firm on tackling air pollution, warning that they daily see its “devastating health consequences” in patients.
Air pollution is the single largest environmental risk to public health, linked to between 28,000 and 36,000 UK deaths a year. The estimated cost to the NHS and social care of air pollutants is estimated to be £1.6bn between 2017 and 2025
