Commuters and busy traffic crossing London Bridge on a smoggy morning. Air pollution hit record levels that day (15/3/2012) due to a combination of traffic fumes, relatively still weather and an influx of dirty air from the north of England and northern France. The capital’s poor air quality, caused largely by traffic, has seen the UK facing £300m in fines for breaching EU targets.
