<p>The pollutants found in air are not themselves toxic but can cause irritation and
their effect can have consequences which exacerbate particular conditions. The Government
is committed to tackling air pollution, including reducing impacts on vulnerable groups
such as children. We have put in place a £3.5billion plan to improve air quality and
reduce harmful emissions and on 14 January 2019, we announced our new world leading
Clean Air Strategy, which includes new and ambitious goals, legislation, investment
and policies which will help us to clean up our air faster and more effectively. The
World Health Organisation has praised the strategy as ‘an example for the rest of
the world to follow’.</p>
