Episode Description

Air is obviously vital: we need it to survive. But not everybody breathes the same air. Across the globe, marginalised communities are forced to breathe poor quality air and face the consequences. This episode looks at how poverty, race and class intersect when it comes to air pollution, what needs to be done to clean up the air in our cities, and how communities and campaigners are fighting back.
