92% of people burning wood indoors have another way to heat their home. Please share the facts, and think twice about burning tonight and beyond. For more info visit @globalactionplan.bsky.social's cleanairhub.org.uk.

#AirPollution affects all of us, but it harms certain groups more than others. In urban areas like London, people from racialised communities & lower-income areas, and children, are more likely to be exposed to air pollution, & more likely to have their #Health disproportionately affected by it.

It's #CleanAirNight. Can you rethink burning, tonight and beyond? Wood burning creates tiny particles of pollution (including soot and carbon) that lodge deep in our bodies and make us sick. This doesn't just affect the household burning, but their neighbours, too.

And where does air pollution come from in urban areas? Check out our interactive visualisation to see sources of air pollution across London: urbanhealth.org.uk/insights/dat...

What does air quality look like mapped across London and all of its boroughs? Check out our interactive visualisation which compares pollution levels to legal limits and WHO guidelines: urbanhealth.org.uk/insights/dat...
