A UK court has issued a precedent-setting ruling this week, after a nine-year-old girl who lived on Main Street in London – died, as determined in the ruling – as a result of “unusual air pollution”.
The girl – Ella Edo-Kissi-Debra, was hospitalized with severe asthma attacks, about 30 times in three years, and according to the report currently published in the local newspaper ‘Guardian’, this is a very important milestone, as every year the world dies as a result of severe air pollution , About seven million people.
The girl’s mother said that if she had known about the terrible danger that Belgor on the street with such severe air pollution, she would have moved apartment and not endangered the life of her daughter, who died in 2013.
The pathologist who treated the case was Philip Barlow, and his autopsy report stated that the girl’s health found a very large amount of nitrogen dioxide, which apparently eventually led to her death. “The main source of infection to which she was exposed was vehicle emissions,” Barlow said.
Local lawyers and jurists argue that the ruling is a significant breakthrough that could also be reflected in similar rulings around the world, and have welcomed the court ruling.
