Diesels in London "are killers"

Quote:

We have breached EU limit values for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) every year since 2005; worse, there is no prospect of complying with them until 2025. More worryingly, evidence showing the detrimental effects of air pollution on health has increased substantially. Particulate matter (PM), the vast majority of which is found in vehicle fumes, is estimated to be responsible for 29,000 deaths each year in the UK and more than 3,000 in London. In 2012, particulates in diesel fumes were classified as carcinogenic. The following year the World Health Organisation concluded that concentrations of PM and NO2 even lower than the EU limits can be harmful.
