Last year, nearly 114,000 children in London were admitted to hospitals or taken to A&E due to serious breathing problems associated with toxic air pollution. The campaign group Mums for Lungs revealed that there were 113,736 paediatric respiratory hospital admissions and A&E visits in one year. Children are particularly susceptible to air pollution because they breathe more rapidly and are closer to pollution sources. The group is calling for political leaders to take immediate action to improve air quality, citing the severe impact on children's health.
