Charity's playground air pollution warning
Briefly

Asthma + Lung UK stated that among 43,000 playgrounds in Britain, 99% exceed WHO air pollution limits, urging for government intervention to safeguard public health.
The charity emphasized that Birmingham has nitrogen dioxide levels almost five times higher than WHO limits, disproportionately affecting children with asthma and other health issues.
Sarah Sleet, chief executive of Asthma + Lung UK, highlighted the urgent need for clean air, likening polluted air to polluted water, saying no government would tolerate it.
With one in eight UK households lacking a garden, children in urban areas need access to cleaner outdoor spaces to combat health risks from poor air quality.
