A report from Imperial College London, commissioned by the Greater London Authority, has found that air pollution causes harm to people at all stages of life. The report found that exposure to certain particles can lead to miscarriages, stunt children’s lung growth and cause low sperm count. In adulthood, air pollution can cause chronic illnesses, cancer and strokes. The report identified particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) as particularly harmful, both of which come from vehicle exhausts. In 2018, Public Health England estimated that up to 43,000 people a year die in the UK because of air pollution.
