The sentence of the death of a girl by contamination marks a milestone, although it is still far from being applied in Spain

Ella Kissi-Debrah was a girl who died in 2013 when she was nine years old. Air pollution in London, the city in which she lived, led her to suffer from severe respiratory diseases, according to what British justice has now established. “She died of asthma induced by being exposed to excessive pollution,” said coroner Philip Barlow.
