Air quality summit November 2011
This event, hosted by Camden's lead member for sustainability, Councillor Sean Birch and Islington's Council Leader, Catherine West, brought together a range of expert speakers to share information on:
- the health impacts of air pollution
- how you can protect yourself from the worst exposure to air pollutants
- actions that can be taken at a regional, local, organisational and individual level to reduce air pollution.
The summit was a huge success, with over a 100 attendees including residents, councillors and organisations.
