A coalition of medical experts and environmental organizations calls on Liverpool City Region mayoral candidates to prioritize public health by ensuring the region meets legal air pollution limits by 2020 through the use of Clean Air Zones and increased investment in sustainable transport.

• Air pollution in the Liverpool City Region is linked to premature births, stunted lung growth in children, and increased risks for individuals with heart or lung conditions.
• Health data for the Liverpool City Region indicates that approximately 225,400 people suffer from cardiovascular heart disease and 42,800 people have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
• Legal air pollution limits are currently exceeded in every local authority within the Liverpool City Region, from Wirral to St Helens.
• The authors recommend the implementation of Clean Air Zones to remove high-emission vehicles from polluted areas, complemented by investments in walking, cycling, and public transport.
• The signatories call for the UK Government to establish a new Clean Air Act for the 21st Century to legally enshrine the right to breathe clean air.
