Responding to Clean Air in London’s analysis showing London had the highest levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a toxic gas, of any capital city in Europe in 2010, and that levels were comparable with those in Beijing, Green Party Mayoral Candidate Jenny Jones said:
""Air pollution is now the second biggest killer in the Capital and is rapidly emerging at the number one public health issue for Londoners.
"We simply cannot go on as we are. It is a scandal that the response of our current Conservative mayor has been to try and hide the problem rather than take steps to deal with its causes.
"By electing more Green Assembly Members this year, London can help ensure that this crucial issue is given the attention it needs by City Hall."
