THE 16 worst hotspots for killer toxic air are all in London despite falls in this type of particulate pollution, official figures revealed today.

They were followed by Hackney, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, and Tower Hamlets.

The next 10 areas were Camden, Southwark, Newham, Hammersmith and Fulham, Lambeth, Haringey, Wandsworth, Waltham Forest, Brent and Lewisham.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the death of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, aged nine, who lived near the South Circular in Lewisham, south-east London.She became the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed as a cause of death.
