The lived experience of Rosamund (mother of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, the first person to have air pollution on her death certificate) isn't enough to stop her Council increasing air pollution exposure for her children and community. What hope for environmental justice is there? @MichaelMarmot @MichaelEMann @pk_shishodia @ProfJonFairburn @ProfKevinFenton @ImpUrbanHealth @CleanAirFund @TheCentricLab @jksmith34 @BullardCenter
