Ella Kissi-Debrah has experienced three years of crisis and long stays in the hospital before her death in 2013. During that time, the level of air pollution had broken legal rules allowed in the EU, reports the BBC.
In the past, no death has been directly linked to the impact of air pollution.
According to a report drafted by one of Britain's leading asthma experts, there has been a strong link between Ella's hospital emergency and nitrogen dioxide and the PM10, which are the most harmful pollutants.
There it is said that 9 - year - old woman would not die of asthma unless air pollution levels were on illegal steps.
Ella usually made her way to school, a trip she took 30 to 40 minutes.
