Knowsley Council's Climate Emergency Scrutiny Committee reviewed a report highlighting the significant risks of poor air quality to public health. The council committed to integrating air quality issues into decision-making processes through their Air Quality Strategy (AQS) and outlined actions to improve air quality standards.
Knowsley Council met last night at Huyton's Municipal Building for their Climate Emergency Scrutiny Committee and were asked to scrutinise a report into the borough's air quality . According to the analysis, poor air quality is the largest environmental risk to public health , shortens lives and reduces quality of life, particularly amongst the most vulnerable, the young and old, and those living with health conditions.
In relation to air quality outdoors, the pollutants of concern in relation to emissions are Nitrogen Dioxide and Particulate Matter , largely associated with road traffic, fuel combustion, industrial processes, and the construction industry. There are increasing concerns nationally over fine, and ultra-fine particles.
