You can act today by advising your patients on how to keep safe during high air pollution days, and in the long term by undertaking GreenED Silver Action 5: decreasing idling vehicles around your department.

🩺 Clean air isn’t just a climate issue — it’s a health emergency. Cleaner air means fewer A&E visits, fewer hospital admissions, and healthier lives. As clinicians, we advocate for evidence-based care. Let’s also advocate for clean air — because prevention starts long before the ED doors.

In Emergency Medicine, we see the impact of dirty air firsthand: -Children in resus struggling to breathe during asthma attacks -Older patients with exacerbations of heart failure triggered by high pollution levels -Exacerbations of COPD and other respiratory illnesses that are preventable

Today is Clean Air Day! 🚑In Emergency Medicine, we see the impact of dirty air firsthand: @globalactionplan.bsky.social @rcem.ac.uk #EmergencyMedicine #SustainableHealthcare #AirPollution #GreenerNHS #CleanAirSavesLives #RCEM #GreenEDInitiative
