Details

The ‘Air Quality Inequalities Project’ shares the first-hand experiences of people most affected by inequalities in air quality exposure and the multiple factors that contribute to poor health and wellbeing outcomes. It also outlines the challenges and opportunities for those with responsibility for reducing inequalities.

This will help us all target our policies, investment and interventions to improve the health of society as a whole, but especially those most disadvantaged.
