A SCOTTISH council has launched refreshed plans to reduce levels of pollution from vehicles and improve air quality.
Short and long-term exposure to air pollution has been linked to a wide range of diseases, including asthma and respiratory infections, with evidence of links to other conditions including type 2 diabetes and dementia.The plan prioritises the city centre, as despite air pollution generally improving across Glasgow, the levels haven't changed in the heart of the city.
She said: “Whilst Glasgow’s air quality has undoubtedly improved in recent times, we remain determined to deliver more breathable air to benefit the health and wellbeing of our residents and visitors. “We’ve also broadened the range of wider, air quality actions in the final version of the Plan following public consultation earlier this year.”
