LONDON (Reuters) - British judges ruled on Wednesday that the UK government has breached European Union air quality law and asked the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for guidance on what action needs to be taken, delaying immediate improvements to air pollution.

Britain's highest appeal court, the Supreme Court, said the government was in breach of an EU directive which put limits on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) - a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning fuels which can damage people's breathing.

London has the highest levels of NO2 of any European capital. [More]
