Episode 145: Liz Allan and Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah - the Fight for Clean Air in the UK.

Liz Allan is joined by internationally recognised clean air campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah for a powerful and emotional episode. After her daughter Ella died at just nine years old from a rare form of asthma, Rosamund became a leading advocate for environmental health and founded the Ella Roberta Foundation to protect others from preventable harm. In this honest and deeply inspiring conversation, Liz and Rosamund explore how invisible pollutants like nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter are impacting our health every day, and why asthma, allergies, and respiratory illness need to be taken far more seriously. Rosamund explains why clean air must be seen as a public health issue, not a political one. She shares her belief in a national awareness campaign led by trusted voices, not politicians, to help people understand the link between pollution and illnesses like asthma, cancer, and even infertility. Her call is simple but powerful: we all have a role to play in pushing for change, and Ella’s Law, legislation that enshrines the right to clean air, must be part of that.

“We can be divided over so many other issues. But when it comes to health and the National Health Service, I want us all to be on the same page.”
