I remember watching Rosamund Kissi-Debrah on Channel4News in the past and she spoke with such dignity even though she had lost her daughter I hope she succeeds in her quest for justice for her loved one and for the greater good of lowering air pollution for all.

New inquest into girl's 'pollution' deathElla Kissi-Debrah, 9, suffered a fatal asthma attack thought to have been brought on by pollution. We notice how slow the establishment reacts to her death.
