The mother of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, a nine-year-old girl whose death was the first in the UK to have air pollution listed as a contributing factor, has initiated a High Court claim against the government. This legal action follows a coroner's finding that air pollution was causative of Ella's injuries and death. The case has sparked discussions around air quality standards, with criticism directed at the government for delaying the implementation of World Health Organization (WHO) air pollution targets for 10 years after the EU. The Ella Roberta Foundation is involved in advocating for clean air to be recognized as a human right in law.
