The full extent of Liverpool's dangerously toxic air has been revealed.
While it may not be a surprise to many the city suffers with high levels of air pollution, new analysis shows just how big the problem is. The Central Office of Public Interest (COPI) has crunched the numbers and made it possible to see just how bad the air is that we are breathing across this city.
Liverpool has a well documented problem when it comes to air quality. In 2018, the city was named alongside Manchester and London in a list of 40 UK towns and cities that were at or had exceeded air pollution levels set by the World Health Organization. In 2020, it was reported more than 1,000 deaths a year across the wider Liverpool City Region could be linked to air pollution.
