Did air pollution kill my daughter? Air pollution is linked to the asthma death of a nine-year-old girl who lived near to a busy London road. Ella Kissi-Debrah lived 25m (80ft) from London's South Circular Road - a notorious pollution "hotspot". She experienced three years of seizures and hospital stays before her death in February 2013. During that time, local air pollution levels breached EU legal limits. No individual death has previously been directly linked to air pollution.

  • Poor Mum. They have always known. Your daughter was a casualty of the system. More people need cars and transit, than the 40,000 people who died. You are absolutely right! The problem is still there. Good for you to fight. Bless you.

    meanwhile, the government is too busy drowning in its own shit storm of the brexit "talks" to instead care about an ACTUAL problem such as this. :( smh

    The son of my cousin (they life in Teheran, incredibly polluted air), has allergies against 100 things and coughs, they visited us in Germany last year and he didn’t had any allergies AT ALL. It was the first time for him to travel, the first time out of this air. That’s says a lot in my opinion
