Air pollution is killing over 1,200 under 18s across European countries including Ireland every year, according to a new European Environment Agency report.
It has called on leaders to do more to protect children and adolescents from the impacts of fine air pollution particles like PM2.5s and PM10s as well as pollutants like ozone and nitrogen dioxide.
While air pollution affects everybody, youngsters are particularly vulnerable to it as they are still developing.
