Nearly 50,000 school children exposed to illegal levels of air pollution, campaigners warn Thousands of children are exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution because their schools are located close to major roads, campaigners have warned. International charity Environmental Defense Fund Europe (EDF Europe) said new research shows that in London, 47,500 children attend state primary schools within 100m of the city’s Red Routes - Transport for London’s network of major roads. People near these roads breathe levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 57% higher than an average road in London and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) 35% higher, the group said. Ahead of the mayoral elections in London, a coalition of environmental campaigners is calling for all candidates to commit to ‘safeguard’ the planned expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone and to ‘transform’ the Red Routes.
