The number of premature deaths attributed to particulate pollution has risen, government figures show.
According to Public Health England, the percentage of premature deaths attributable to minute particles known as PM2.5s rose to 5.3% in 2013 in England from 5.1% in 2012. The death rate in London rose to 6.7% from 6.6%. The figures follow significant improvements in air quality across England in 2010 and 2011.

More open (public) spaces. Word on the street is that trees scrub air, and research questioning that.
Perhaps this could lead to some more interesting tall buildings in London, ones that are designed to provide a public service by "harvesting" particulate from the air in a manner similar to the band formerly known as R&Sie's Dusty Relief project.
But I have to note, discussions of air pollution in London, but no discussion of lead poisoning in Flint (or am I missing it)?
