THE number of Scottish people who support the rollout of low-emission zones has grown since last year, a poll suggests.
Gareth Brown, chairman of Healthy Air Scotland and policy and public affairs officer at Asthma + Lung UK Scotland, wants to see cross-political party support of the LEZs to encourage attitude change within the public. “With one in five Scots developing a lung condition like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in their lifetime, for them, air pollution can trigger life-threatening asthma attacks and flare-ups.
“It is vitally important that we protect the lungs and health of our communities, no-one should be forced to breathe in toxic air.” “The support from public health charities such as Asthma + Lung UK is welcomed by the Scottish Government and local authorities – and they are right that LEZs cannot work in isolation.
