Supported by Lee Waters, Rhun ap Iorwerth, Siân Gwenllian, Vikki Howells

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes:

a) that 21 June is clean air day;

b) the damaging impact of air pollution on our health—Public Health Wales figures show air pollution causes 2,000 deaths a year which is 6 percent of Wales's total deaths; and

c) that NO2 and particulate matter must both be dealt with in order to combat air pollution.

2. Calls on the Welsh Government to tackle persistent air pollution and introduce clean air zones to change behaviour and improve the health of citizens.
