Absolutely should be looked into, we cannot have asthmatic children at high risk in our cities, hopefully the government pays attention to this case
They now test pregnant women’s exposure to CO2.
I keep blowing high at each antenatal appointment and I have no idea why. I even bought a carbon monoxide alarm for my flat. I live in London and don’t have a car, use public transport etc but I live next to a park and don’t smoke..
There’s just no escaping the shitty London air.
This is why I refuse to live on a main road. The South Circular too, truly horrific for your health.
Never had asthma symptoms until living in London for a couple of years. Had a nagging cough for about 18 months and not once did the doctors there suggest it could be asthma (and it was never on my radar). The moment I move to Wales, the first doctor I spoke to mentioned it could be asthma and I was diagnosed shortly afterwards. Inhalers and cleaner air has definitely helped my cough almost disappear. Just makes you wonder if they’re purposefully not diagnosing people with asthma in London for this exact reason.
I had asthma when I was a kid but never had an asthma attack and I’ve always lived up north in quite a rural area but the first time I visited London after not needing an inhaler in over 20 years I had an full on asthma attack and lost consciousness just before the ambulance came. The air is absolutely shocking
I hope this goes well for her. I doubt it will, but I hope it does.
