We were delighted to attend the @livingstreets.bsky.social #WalkingSummit. Walking & wheeling cut #AirPollution, but we need our streets to feel safe enough for everyone to be able to make the most of those options. Good to see new guidance landing on safer streets for women & girls yesterday.

Time and time again surveys of heat pump owners show that the vast majority of people are happy with their heat pump. Here's data from Canada, a place known for its very warm winters. cleanenergycanada.org/report/heat-...

For sure. But start with the worst part of the problem: private jets. english.elpais.com/climate/2025...

"Electricity generated from wind and solar is largely insulated from fossil fuel price volatility – once built, the fuel is free." This is what I told @dharna.bsky.social @theguardian.com who published this article. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thank you to all who gave evidence at the 1st session of the @commonseac.parliament.uk's #AirPollution inquiry. MPs are investigating the #Health impact of air pollution, & considering the policies needed to tackle it. @impurbanhealth.bsky.social @globalactionplan.bsky.social @green-alliance.org.uk

The 2025 IQAir World Air Quality Report Only 13 countries met WHO air quality guidelines in 2025, as wildfires and industrial pollution worsened conditions globally, with Central and South Asia remaining the most affected regions. airqualitynews.com/headlines/th...

"Smokeless" fuels fuels produce 2-3x more ultrafine particles than wood or coal - study - The tiny size of the particles means they can become deposited deep in people’s lungs, causing a health risk #airpollution Story bt @drgaryfuller.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Drax, the UKs single biggest emitter, is now trying to build data centres. If this goes ahead, it'll mean more forests destroyed, communities polluted & carbon emissions. Sign our petition with @globalactionplan.bsky.social & @biofuelwatch.bsky.social today: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

#BanWoodBurning | @cleanairlondon.bsky.social urges PM and @commonseac.parliament.uk to investigate #WoodBurning failures with similarities to #InfectedBloodScandal weeks before 70th anniversary of #CleanAirAct HT @tobyperkinsmp.bsky.social @barrygardiner.bsky.social cleanair.london/news/cal-cal...

Update 8am Mon 23/3/26: @emmahardymp.bsky.social's half measures (eg consultations closing at noon) and hapless Defra still doesn't have its #AirQuality website online. Meanwhile, #AirPollution episode lingers

Europe’s ‘staggering’ clean power gains undermined by failure to phase out fuel-burning machines

‘Smokeless’ fuels contain ultrafine particles that get embedded in lungs, study shows

This should be a no brainier for the UK. What’s stopping us?

Where are all these folk who don’t understand about #renewables, asking for more oil & gas, coming from? Wave, Thermal, battery storage plus wind & solar. They need to try reading about it. Scotland today. 100% wind. Wind doesn’t stop blowing in the North Sea.

Good article highlighting research from colleagues in Ireland. Low smoke solid fuels intended to replace coal and wood may have a worse impact on health because they produce a higher number of more dangerous ultrafine particles.

It’s still warm, but as heating season approaches, remember: burning solid fuels at home is the main culprit of urban air pollution. #heat #solidfuels #airquality #aerosource @epaireland.bsky.social @deptcee.bsky.social @ryaninstitute.bsky.social @ovadnevaite.bsky.social

Congratulations to @profpkumar.bsky.social on your appointment to the #AirQuality Expert Group. Great news!

Thank you @sianberry.bsky.social for pushing on this. In opposition, the Labour Party promised us a #CleanAir Act to protect children’s health. Breathing clean air should be a human right. #EllasLaw

For each kilogram burned, the low-smoke fuels produced between two and three times more ultrafine particles than wood or coal. Investigation by @ovadnevaite.bsky.social My latest for @theguardian.com on UFP from smokeless and low-smoke fuels. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Low smoke doesn't mean low risk - research into smokeless and low-smoke fuels led by @ovadnevaite.bsky.social at @uniofgalway.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/health/2026/...

⚠️ "Low smoke" doesn't mean low risk. New @uniofgalway.bsky.social Research shows "low smoke" solid fuels emit 2–3× more ultrafine particles reaching lungs, heart, even the brain. #EpicAir #AEROSOURCE #SolidAir @ovadnevaite.bsky.social @epaireland.bsky.social @researchireland.ie Paper: rdcu.be/e6pzx

#CodeRed #AirPollution alert for the UK - Major multi-source episode underway! Official DEFRA forecast: Moderate on Thurs-Sat (19-21 March). Waves likely continue Thurs-Mon with some High (7-8/10) levels possible on Sat. Check live: uk-air.defra.gov.uk/forecasting/ #SaharanDust #UKAir

Wood burning is the most polluting way to heat your home and is one of the largest sources of fine particle air pollution in the UK, which can cause heart and lung disease and increase your risk of diabetes and dementia. Don’t miss this important opportunity and have your say!

There's only one day remaining to complete the Government’s consultation on wood and solid fuel burning! The Government is consulting on measures to reduce air pollution from burning in UK homes, and you can help shape these measures by taking part. www.healthyair.org.uk/have-your-sa...

#BanWoodBurning | Beware. Consultation closes 12 noon Thursday 19 March 2026 www.gov.uk/government/c...

Our founder @jemimavivien.bsky.social spoke to BBC Radio London earlier about the consultation on solid fuel burning, which closes tomorrow. "People would not be buying a log burner or running an open fire in their home if they understood what it did to their health, right?" Listen from 07:17 👇.

AIR POLLUTION IN ENGLAND INQUIRY | @ukparliament.parliament.uk's powerful @commonseac.parliament.uk holds its first oral evidence session 230pm today (18 March) as new #AirPollution episode gets underway HT @tobyperkinsmp.bsky.social @barrygardiner.bsky.social parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

⚠️ Two days left to have your say on DEFRA’s solid fuel burning consultation. ⚠️ This is the moment! The moment to tell the Government about the impacts of #WoodBurning across the country right now. All info & help is at the link - deadline this Thursday, 19th. www.mumsforlungs.org/news/respond...

"Straight from the playbook of tobacco". The Stove Industry Association has been pressuring councils to tone down their public health campaigns, telling them they were exploring options for potential legal action. This stinks even more than the burning they promote. #WoodBurning #AirPollution

Join us next Tuesday, 17th March at 8:15 PM on Zoom for our March volunteer meeting! We'll share updates on our campaigns - including wood burning, the #LocalElections, the #Dieselgate trial and the #CleanAirCrowd - and explore ways you can get involved. Register your spot at the link. 💚

Wood burning produces 20% of the UK's most dangerous air pollution - comparable to road transport. Yet only 1% of households rely on it as their main heating. Today we submitted our response to Defra's consultation. heyzine.com/flip-book/41... 🧵

A new report by Breathe Cities highlights that coordinated, data-driven action has led to rapid reductions in #AirPollution across the world. Targeted policy and sustained leadership are key. #ULEZ #London

🌍 Global call for #airquality & #climate campaign leaders! If you've contributed to AQ campaigns anywhere in the world, complete this 10–15 min survey by March 25th!👉 lnkd.in/g6rpcF32 clip: @globalactionplan.bsky.social @mumsforlungs.bsky.social @geographynicole.bsky.social @atmofrance.bsky.social

REMINDER: One week to go before the Government's consultation on domestic burning closes. Don't miss the opportunity to have your say and complete your response before March 19! www.healthyair.org.uk/have-your-sa...

In the last 10 years, we have learned that air pollution is linked to cognitive decline and dementia. But bold policies can improve the air that we breathe. Ajit Niranjan reports on progress on #airpoolution on the Breathe Cities and @c40cities.bsky.social networks.
