Air pollution: Cars should be banned near schools says public health chief Public health chiefs have called for drivers to switch off their engines when they drop children off at school.
Paul Cosford, medical director of Public Health England, told the BBC children should grow up "free from the scourge and harm of air pollution".
His comments came as PHE published a series of recommendations on how the government can improve air quality.
PHE said 28,000 to 36,000 deaths a year in the UK could be attributed to long-term exposure to air pollution. BBC News
