Doctors against Diesel Campaign in London

Doctors, health professionals and medical students launch the Doctors Against Diesel campaign, by holding up giant numbers which read ‘9,400’, representing the number of early deaths in London each year because of toxic air pollution. Doctors Against Diesel is an emerging campaign group, made up of leading health professionals who believe illegal levels of toxic air pollution in the UK have created a public health emergency. Hundreds of doctors and medical staff gathered alongside Euston Road, one of the most polluted roads in London, to launch the campaign. They are calling for Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, to commit to phase out diesel vehicles from London, and for the public to respond to a TFL public consultation in support of the phase out of diesel in London.
