"The Government faces a Supreme Court action this week, demanding that it slash air pollution levels by 2015. Lawyers acting for the environmental charity ClientEarth are making a legal challenge to force the coalition to cut levels of lethal nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to within European Commission limits.

"Poor air quality causes the premature deaths of 30,000 people in Britain each year – more than die from alcohol abuse, obesity or [and?] in car crashes. London has the dirtiest air of any European capital, with NO2 levels often double the European limit."
