Excellent, now let's see some real action on ALL sources of air pollution #AirPollution #Health #Environment

We need the Government to sanction car manufacturers; these #Diesel cars need to go. Sign our petition to get the Government to make the polluters pay 👇. And get in touch if you want to campaign on this with us 💚. #Dieselgate #AirPollution

A new study has found that lower exposure to #AirPollution (nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and PM2.5) was linked to better eyesight in children. They believe that not only can cleaner air play a vital role in protecting children’s eyesight – it may even improve vision.

Air pollution has been identified as a meaningful and modifiable risk factor for childhood myopia: "Improving air quality could be a valuable strategic intervention to protect children’s eyesight". #AirPollution #Health

"Facilities that burn fossil fuels are the overwhelmingly dominant source of heat-trapping pollution that is driving the climate crisis – by using the sky as if it were an open sewer" Quote from Al Gore. Piece by Fiona Harvey. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Wood burning in our homes is a key cause of air pollution and has significant impacts both on people’s health and the environment. Read the domestic burning policy pathway produced by Global Action Plan. tinyurl.com/2hbr9v4x #airpollution #pollution #woodburning #health #cleanair

Thank you to @anguscouncil.bsky.social for recognising the damage wood burning does to our #Health and #Environment. This is good to see - which council will be next? #Angus #WoodBurning

New school year, new school assemblies. We recently added a Key Stage 3 assembly to our resources. If you're keen to engage more with your school about #AirPollution, please take a look and consider asking to deliver one at your school. #Schools #Education

This is Oxford Street

Oxford Street has an appalling road casualty and air pollution record. Banning cars from central London is the answer, says Living Streets

"The government must act now and make polluters pay." Car companies built cars that emit illegal and toxic levels of gases. Little lungs are paying for it every day in the UK, and the manufacturers have still not been held to account. #Dieselgate @clientearth.bsky.social

Oxford Street will be car-free on Sunday, to celebrate #WorldCarFreeDay, when all around the world, towns and cities experience streets free of motor traffic. Instead of car horns & congestion, there will be music, art, culture, food & community. You can enjoy the free fun between 12pm & 8pm!

Is air pollution keeping you awake at night? New international review from Johns Hopkins University identifies #airpollution as a contributor to poor sleep. Piece by me. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Unfortunately, the industry’s promises of greatly reduced air pollution from these new miracle stoves proved to be hollow: wood burning is now the UK’s largest source of deadly PM2.5 pollution.

2008;the wood stove industry formed a trade group; Stove Industry Alliance (SIA). Fueled by the industry’s marketing & public relations efforts,wood stoves became trendy & sales took off.In 2003, 500,000 UK households had a wood stove,by 2016, this figures risen to 1,700,000, and continues rising

#Woodsmoke #Airpollution Broken Promises;People who had gone decades—or their entire lives— never experiencing wood smoke pollution have now found themselves living in a miasma of wood smoke. They’ve noticed the change, and they aren’t happy about it. I www.familiesforcleanair.org/modern-wood-...

“Current clean-air policies focus mainly on outdoor sources, but our findings make clear that the agenda must expand,” wood & coal heater designs vary throughout the world,studies in UK found that particle pollution leaks from stoves into homes.

To mark the 10 years since #Dieselgate, we asked our volunteers to help us show the passage of time. The children may have grown up, but one thing remains the same: the excess #Diesel emissions in our air, which these children have been breathing their whole lives.

My elderly family members really struggled in the heat this year, and I've seen how it takes them days to feel better as the weather cools. These are impacts of our climate emergency. Note the UK rank in the graphics. Great research by Garyfallos Konstantinoudis @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

The @theguardian.com climate pledge 2025 This update reflects the urgent and growing challenges facing our planet – and how the Guardian is more focused than ever on exposing the causes of the #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tomorrow marks the ten year anniversary of #Dieselgate. It is unbelievable that, ten years after this scandal broke, we are still breathing in excess emissions from diesel cars, and nothing has been done about it in the UK. #AirPollution

From the University of Birmingham: "For every ten microgram per cubic meter (µg/m³) of increased exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), the risk of dying from any cancer rises by 22%." www.birmingham.ac.uk/news-archive...

🫁How come so many young, fit, non-smoking women are getting lung cancer? "Air pollution has been demonstrated to be significant for both genders, especially in younger patients." www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

We had so many great conversations at #QueensParkDay this weekend. It's clear that many residents are very concerned about local #AirPollution and want something done about it urgently. Great to hear that @georgiagould.bsky.social can champion #SchoolStreets in her new role as Minister for Schools.

Sandwell residents, there's just one week to go for the #AirQuality action plan consultation. We are thrilled to see the implementation of #SchoolStreets as the top priority, but does it go far enough? Have your say by 21st September. #Sandwell
