Here is what the page “150 Scientists and MPs Urge Andy Burnham to Launch Inquiry into Air Pollution Inequality” contains. A coalition of 150 scientists, MPs, and activists is calling on Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham to initiate an inquiry into the unequal health impacts of air pollution. The demand, outlined in a letter, highlights research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies showing that lower-income areas across England consistently experience higher levels of air pollution than wealthier areas. The signatories argue that minority-ethnic communities are disproportionately affected, necessitating targeted government action.
They are urging Burnham to use his regional powers to investigate and address these disparities, which contribute to preventable health conditions such as asthma and heart disease. The call comes amid growing evidence that air pollution is a social justice issue, with deprived neighbourhoods often located near major roads and industrial sites.
