More information on what we're doing

Public Health England has identified air quality as a key public health priority. Air pollution contributes to approximately 29,000 deaths annually in the UK and is estimated to account for 5-6% mortality in West Yorkshire (COMEAP, 2010). Poor air quality can also contribute to health inequalities since people living in deprived areas tend to experience the highest levels of road pollution and resulting negative health effects.
