Air pollution

cough

Poor air quality is the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK.

As part of our green agenda we are raising awareness about air pollution for the health of our patients.

Air pollution kills approximately 7 million people prematurely worldwide, and up to 36,000 people prematurely in the UK.
