  • Michael Ryan on Cladding fears following Grenfell
    23 Oct 2020 12:53
    The pollution caused by the cladding fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017 is almost certainly why Kensington & Chelsea (K&C) had the highest infant death rate in London that year at 5.9 per 1,000 live births – having been 1.7 per 1,000 in 2016 and 2.4 per 1,000 in 2018 . The only other year that K&C had the highest rate (out of 32 London Boroughs) was in 1967, when Battersea Power Station was fully operational and before incinerators were built. It’s usual for higher infant death rates to be blamed on deprivation, ethnicity & socioeconomic status - as in the study by SAHSU and others, first promised in 2011 (following Big Issue North articles by Mark Metcalf) and published online in November 2018. https://airqualitynews.com/2018/11/26/incinerator-emissions-not-linked-to-infant-mortality/ Fetal growth, stillbirth, infant mortality and other birth outcomes near UK municipal waste incinerators; retrospective population based cohort and case-control study https://airqualitynews.com/2018/11/26/incinerator-emissions-not-linked-to-infant-mortality/
