Statue unveiled of girl whose air pollution death inspired Sadiq Khan's Ulez clean air zone

A statue in memory of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, the schoolgirl who was the first person to have air pollution recorded as a cause of death on her death certificate, has been unveiled in a park near her south London home.
