Abstract
2016 marks 60 years since the first UK Clean Air Act.
This presentation considers the factors contributing to successful management of air quality and the factors that act as barriers to progress.
The public health catastrophe of the 1952 London Smog created the political momentum for the 1956 Act to be passed.
The presentation reviews the progress in meeting the air pollution challenge and comments on the weakness of the governmental and societal response to the national and global public health challenge.
