Clean Air Campaign – Asthma + Lung UK
Air pollution isn’t just an urban issue – here in Norfolk:
- 7.5% have asthma compared to an average of 6.4% for the UK
- 2.3% have COPD compared to 1.9% for the UK
- 5503 people have died from pneumonia this past three years
That’s why it was great to take a break from the process of choosing our next Prime Minister yesterday to show my support for this crucially important campaign being led by Asthma + Lung UK.
I look forward to following progress closely and continuing to speak up on issues that improve local health and reduce all forms of pollution in our largely rural area.
