Exposure to air pollution has been recorded as a medical cause of death for what is thought to be the first time in the UK at the inquest of a nine-year-old girl who died following a fatal asthma attack.

Ella Kissi-Debrah died in February 2013 having suffered a fatal asthma attack.

She had endured numerous seizures and made almost 30 hospital visits over the previous three years.
