Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah: Vigil to mark birthday of girl killed by toxic air

A vigil is being held on the eve of what would have been the 18th birthday of a schoolgirl whose death was partly caused by breathing toxic air.

Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, who lived near the South Circular Road, in Lewisham, south-east London, died aged 9 in 2013.to the bandstand in Mountsfield Park, Catford, at 15:30 GMT. She said: "First and foremost it's an opportunity to get Ella's classmates together and remember her.", we're still waiting for the government to act."The inquest into Ella's death found levels of nitrogen dioxide near her home exceeded World Health Organisation and European Union guidelines.

The hearing found Ella had been exposed to "excessive" levels of pollution which contributed to an asthma attack and a cardiac arrest. The coroner, Philip Barlow, recommended lowering the legal limit of particulate matter in the air and improving public awareness.

I thought birthday is for the living, why are the Dead being included, it's loosing the worth.

Amazing how the whole surrounding area didn't die from this same toxic air. The toxic air must have targeted her.
