He won’t stop there, this crackpot London Mayor will charge you for breathing next, more money for his freebies. If he’s serious about air quality and people’s health then ban Smoking in public.

Air quality is much better than you think. I have an air quality monitor that measures PM2.5/voc and overall health index of air quality. If I go on line and type in my postcode, the authorities tell me that pm2.5 where I live is 200{ that’s quite high), yet you meter never shows it above 10 outside and more often it is 2 or 3. So what is going on. As an aside when we are inside and cooking or cleaning the pm2.5 goes off the scale and the alarm sound. This to me at least suggests that we have more air quality problems indoors than outdoors. Note I live next to the A414 and regularly have traffic congested outside my house, so I would expect to have higher readings, but don’t. For me at least I think we are now being misled on air quality. I took my meter into London one day and the readings there were not as bad as we are told, but I would not take too much from one days readings
