“People living in places with high proportions of black, mixed or ‘other’ ethnic groups are more likely to be exposed to above EU NO2 limit value concentrations than those in areas with a high proportion of white people,” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/oct/10/londons-black-communities-disproportionately-exposed-to-air-pollution-study #RMRs #LTNs #AirPollution
We have known for some time now that poor families end up living in cheaper housing which is often in close proximity to busy roads.
Due to #Covid19, emergency measures can now be taken to reduce #airpollution on busy residential main roads..... or side roads can be closed.

When you close side roads without mitigation for residential main roads, you are knowingly increasing the #LifeExpectancyGap between the most and least affluent communities.

Black British children are exposed to up to 30% more air pollution than their white counterparts. @visitcamberwell @OneCamberwell @hackneywick @BrixtonParent @CleanAirLondon @rosamund_ElsFdn @RedMajid @Lizzieredhair @journo_pen @lynnefriedli @outercircles https://twitter.com/wef/status/1289561521215897600?s=20
This work has confirmed that #environmentalinjustice is occurring in England due to #airpollution from road traffic. Essentially in respect of traffic emissions the poor pollute the least and are polluted the most. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1361920919300392
Those in #LTNs will still pollute #RMRs.

By closing side roads for LTNs & displacing traffic to residential main roads, could we be witnessing the emergence of a new wave of socio-spatial injustice leading potentially to new forms of #urbanexclusion, #healthinequity, and #environmentalinjustice?

An @ONS study finds that #airpollution could be a factor in explaining why people from #BAME backgrounds suffer more from #coronavirus.
