Scotland as a whole had met its air pollution targets for the first time except 2020 - when the country was in lockdown
Scotland's most polluted streets have been revealed - despite major air quality improvements in cities.
That includes thoroughfares like Glasgow’s Hope Street, Queensferry Road in the capital and Aberdeen’s Union Street. Now every bus going through the city centre has to meet the minimum emission standard, with private cars to follow in June this year. “The buses along Hope Street these days are often electric, which are better for the climate and for our lungs.
Air pollution kills 2,500 Scots each year and puts kids, the elderly and the medically vulnerable at risk of serious health conditions, like asthma, heart attacks, and strokes. Bonnygate in Cupar, Fife; Salamander Street in Edinburgh; Dundee’s Seagate; North High Street in Musselburgh, East Lothian; and the High Street in Johnstone, Renfrewshire were also listed.
