The City of Swansea has been shown to have some of the worst air quality in the country by the Met Office.
Unsurprisingly, high-emission vehicles are a leading contributor to air pollution in the UK, and several cities have taken steps to tackle this ongoing problem.
Portsmouth, Birmingham and the City of London have all launched clean and ultra-low emission zones to charge motorists whose vehicles don’t meet emission standards.
There are no plans to launch a clean air zone in Swansea, but the city’s air is continuously monitored.
