Dieselgate air pollution survey: how does air pollution affect you or your family?

A unique and crucial moment has opened up for Mums for Lungs, and we need your help. We are in the next phase of our Dieselgate campaign - can you fill out our two-minute survey to tell us your lived experience of air pollution and how it has affected you and/or your family? 

All responses are anonymous and will form part of our evidence to the High Court at the upcoming Dieselgate court case, to show the real life and often hidden effects of air pollution, for example the sick days taken off work or school, the changes to travel routes to avoid highly polluted roads, or the time taken off work to attend hospital appointments.

We have a chance, right now, to get information from the court on what car manufacturers may be hiding into the public domain. Please fill out our survey and help us demonstrate to the court how people are affected by air pollution. Thank you!

Background information on the court case and campaign

The first UK Dieselgate trial looking at whether vehicles were fitted with prohibited defeat devices designed to produce misleading emissions test results will run at the High Court in October. However, many important details have been deemed confidential due to the commercial interests of the car manufacturers. Earlier this year, we wrote an open letter to the High Court, signed by MPs, over 50 major charities and organisations and hundreds of individuals, explaining that the public has a right to know the full details of the case and asking for documents to be released due to significant public interest.

Health should come first, over commercial interests, especially considering the health effects of the excess Dieselgate emissions we are still breathing today. New research from Client Earth and the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air has recently revealed that there were 30,000 cases of childhood asthma and 16,000 premature deaths between 2009 and 2024 because of the excess NOx emissions from diesel cars. By 2040, there will be 12,000 new cases of childhood asthma and 6,000 more premature deaths if nothing is done about this. 

Air pollution affects our health from before we are even born, and the effects are disproportionate; tackling it at source is a matter of environmental, social and racial justice. The UK legacy of Dieselgate is ongoing - car manufacturers must be held to account. Mums for Lungs are planning to use the results of this survey to demonstrate the effects of air pollution on people’s health and family life at the upcoming court case.
