Air pollution is a serious health risk to us all but often affects some of us more than others - children, older people and those with existing heart and lung conditions.
By sharing your views on Lambeth’s Air Quality Action Plan we can work together to tackle air pollution fairly and effectively.
Air pollution is the presence of pollutants in the air that have harmful effects on humans. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) are among the most dangerous to our health.
Lambeth Council has put together an Air Quality Action Plan that sets out the steps we will take to reduce air pollution in the borough. Here’s what’s included:
There are air quality policy areas that are outside of our influence and so we will continue to work with regional and central government on policies and issues beyond Lambeth’s influence.
As part of our response to air pollution in Lambeth, we will be setting up an Air Quality Forum to allow residents to continue to have their say on the work we are doing to improve air quality in the borough.
