It's November, does that mean it's OK to mention Christmas? We're offering our free Christmas cards again this year; please join us in sending season's greetings while sharing facts and tips on how to reduce #AirPollution. You can order yours at the link.

Great article from theguardian.com “We are really glad the ASA saw through the smoke and debunked some seriously misleading myths around wood-burning stoves: if you care about your health, don’t burn in your home,” said Jemima Hartshorn, the founder of @mumsforlungs.bsky.social

Interesting idea here - not quite the same as a #CleanAirZone but always good to look at what other cities have done. #Transport #GreaterManchester

Proud to be a UK Landfills & #CleanAir campaigner in #Havering, & delighted with this news for children in Rainham & beyond: now & in the future. Huge thanks to The Havering Daily #ZanesLaw @mumsforlungs.bsky.social #LaundersLane @truthaboutzane.bsky.social thehaveringdaily.co.uk/2025/11/06/w...

Simon Birkett of @cleanairlondon.bsky.social urges the Mayor of London to commit to the WHO's interim target for nitrogen dioxide #AirPollution in London. @london.gov.uk's third Mayoral term must not be "a ‘victory lap’ for your remarkable #CleanAir achievements in the first two terms".

Based on current fatality rates, 106 people will be killed in crashes on Birmingham’s roads during the 2026 to 2030 council term. We are partnering as an unprecedented coalition of 16 national and local organisations to ask the politicians of tomorrow: Will you make Birmingham’s roads safer?

Nice one Birmingham City Council! It’s good to see Brum leading the way on raising awareness about fireworks and air quality. Let’s celebrate without polluting our city 🎆💨 #ClearTheAir #FunWithoutFireworks #BrumBreathes

The @adstandards.bsky.social has found claims made by the Stove Industry Association about wood burning stove emissions to be "misleading and unsubstantiated". There is so much misinformation out there about #WoodBurning and #AirPollution. We're very pleased to see the truth come to light.

Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill #EllasLaw | The first Clean Air Bill had its Second Reading 70 years ago this week (3 Nov). @sianberry.bsky.social’s modern version won’t get the same on 21 Nov unless Keir Starmer allows more Sitting Fridays << Shame on him! hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/1955...

Are you looking around primary schools at the moment? Can you ask a question about school travel and #AirPollution? Here are some cool facts about why an active school run is the way to go: www.mumsforlungs.org/news/make-th...

Happy Halloween! #AirPollution permanently damages children's health, but it doesn't have to be a horror story. Fewer vehicles on the school run reduces emissions around schools & makes it safer for those walking, cycling or wheeling to get to school. www.mumsforlungs.org/news/make-th...

A huge thank you to @sianberry.bsky.social for championing clean air throughout the House of Commons Committee Stage of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. 👏 This Bill is a real opportunity to ensure that Metro Mayors prioritise reducing #AirPollution and its harm to our health.

Burning creates #AirPollution whether you're using dry wood, smokeless fuel or an Ecodesign stove. This University of Surrey study discovered multifuel Ecodesign stoves emit more ultrafine particles than standard Ecodesign stoves. #WoodBurning #Health

The Government's rejection of the Office for Environmental Protection's recommendation to bring #AirQuality standards more in line with the WHO is so disappointing. The UK has already met the Environment Act's #AirPollution targets; these surely need updating. There's no growth without safe air.

Excellent to hear that @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social is reinforcing its commitment to clean air by adopting the interim @who.int target for nitrogen dioxide of 20 µg/m³ by 2030. We're looking forward to a very clear commitment to the same from @london.gov.uk. #AirPollution #Health

Do you trust car manufacturers to tell the truth about the #Health & environmental impacts of their cars? 63% of British adults don't. Where illegal activity is shown by the #Dieselgate trial, the Government needs to enforce recalls, paid for by manufacturers. @clientearth.bsky.social

The @london.gov.uk needs to ensure that small businesses and charities will continue to have clear incentives to switch their fleet from diesel to electric. The ULEZ has been a success story, but #AirPollution in London remains toxically high.

We all want to live in a healthy, clean, thriving community. This new tool from @friends-earth.bsky.social gives people the power to hold their MPs accountable for the environmental challenges in their constituency. Get started here: groups.friendsoftheearth.uk/near-you #AirPollution #Climate

Greater Manchester’s children are still breathing some of the most polluted air in the UK. Meanwhile, car ownership continues to rise in #Manchester. This is a public #Health emergency, and we need a clear plan to bring #AirPollution down in line with @who.int recommendations.

Have you been looking around primary schools recently? When looking, have you thought about #AirPollution and the impact of how you travel to a particular school? Can you choose a school you can walk, scoot, cycle or wheel to? You'll be making that journey around 2,730 times over the next 7 years!

Waste burning is a huge source of #AirPollution and greenhouse gases. This #InternationalDayofClimateAction, we spotlight how community-led initiatives on waste management are fighting air pollution and climate change at the same time: bit.ly/4oAPb6h #ClimateAction #ClimateActionDay #COP30

Wow 😍💙 Safe cycle parking, reduces car journeys, sustainable solar panels, increasing biodiversity with green walls. Investing in travel for the future. Only one question - is it big enough? www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/lar...

We're disappointed to read the government response to the OEP this week. How can it be possible for EU to work towards the lower pollution levels recommended by @who.int, but not the UK? ⏰ Time for the government to stop prevaricating over an #AirPollution health crisis. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Really good to see this research published by @globalactionplan.bsky.social, Ricardo and @hertscc.bsky.social today. Domestic combustion is a major source of fine particle pollution in the UK, and this new research shows we could save the NHS more than £54m a year if unnecessary burning was stopped.

These stoves have devastated the lives of many residents in SCAs. Chimneys had been out of use for decades in these areas but the "Ecodesign" lie has fooled many people into believing these deadly appliances are "environmentally friendly." Many emissions are worse than in open fires!

New study from Uni of Birmingham shows the ULEZ reduced #AirPollution across London, but more needs to be done to reduce pollution further - especially from PM2.5. "As a result, we need to see a modal shift to more active travel and public transport to reduce the number of vehicles on the road".

BREAKING: Our latest research shows a 65% increase in complaints in Smoke Control Areas across England since last year. Families across the country are suffering from neighbours’ burning, yet even after thousands of complaints, barely a handful of fines have been issued. #AirPollution #WoodBurning

This is fantastic news. Huge congratulations to @ruthyphro.bsky.social and her fellow campaigners for working tirelessly to hold Havering Council to account, and ultimately to improve the health of everyone in Rainham. 💚 💪

We've been planning some #CleanAir routes using @citywestminster.bsky.social's new tool. You can map your #Walking or #Cycling journey across London to see which route is forecast to have the cleanest air. Today, it's Regent's Park to Hyde Park. 👉 cleanairroutes.org.

We had a fantastic #SchoolStreets webinar for councils on Friday. Great to have so many council representatives contributing to the discussion. Thank you to speaker Hannah Stanton; we loved these post-it notes Hannah asks the children to write once they've experienced the joy of a School Street 🥰.

Gas cooking & boilers are a very different issue to wood burning. We have control over our exposure to gas & our choice will not impact others in the neighbourhood. Using “Ready to Burn” wood in “Ecodesign” stoves (817,00 users) >> gas boilers (23m users)! Hourly emissions are not in same ball park!

Interesting read on the #Health impacts of #WoodBurning and cooking with gas. "For London... #AirPollution from the typical wood burner creates a yearly health cost of about £800 in the surrounding community".

👏 Clean air action is happening everywhere — in courts ⚖️ and classrooms 🏫! On Monday, some of us were outside the Royal Courts of Justice for the #Dieselgate hearing with Mums for Lungs, while others led a clean air assembly at a local school.

Well done #Cardiff, for standing up to #Carspreading. "This isn’t about punishing drivers – it’s about protecting children, pedestrians and our communities." www.itv.com/news/wales/2...

Councillors and council officers - have you signed up yet for tomorrow's #SchoolStreets webinar? We'll be sharing insights and practical steps on how to deliver School Streets effectively. You'll leave feeling inspired and supported! Sign up below - see you on tomorrow at 12pm.

One of our volunteers turned her #WoodBurningStove into Lego storage, and this is why: “I grew up on canal boats, so didn’t feel at home without a stove. When I bought my house, I got one. After this, every winter I had chest infections. When I stopped burning, I stopped getting chest infections."

We've received our first batch of abstracts but there's still time to apply to present at this December's air pollution conference at the Royal Society of Chemistry. Closing date is 20th October. Details, along with the abstract template and registration are at: www.rsc.org/events/detai...

It's been four months since the high court ruling. Rainham children deserve better 💔 #ZanesLaw #EllasLaw #LaundersLane thehaveringdaily.co.uk/2025/10/15/l...

Yesterday's #Dieselgate trial opened with this from Thomas de la Mare KC: "Each player in the industry basically took a conscious decision that customer convenience, which helped the industry sell more cars, was more important" than preventing #AirPollution. It is time the car manufacturers paid.

🔥 Domestic wood burning is becoming a serious public health issue Residential wood burning now contributes 11% of the UK’s PM2.5 emissions - tiny particles that can harm lungs, brain & heart See how your area is affected with this interactive map from UCL: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/9231...

Little lungs are paying for #Dieselgate every day. This morning we gathered at the Royal Courts of Justice on day one of the biggest ever group claim trial in English legal history. It’s time the car manufacturers paid. #AirPollution #Health

Action on #Dieselgate is taking an “outrageous” amount of time, leaving more than a million dirty diesels still on the road today. This isn't just a corporate scandal, but a #Health scandal as well. It's time the car manufacturers paid. #AirPollution

Are you heading to a primary school open day soon? Can you ask a Q about travel & #AirPollution? 💚 Do you have a sustainable travel policy? 💚 Do you discourage people from driving to school? 💚 Do you enable #ActiveTravel? Some facts about an active #SchoolRun: www.mumsforlungs.org/news/make-th...

We love this idea - people in #Leeds are to trial a "Car When We Need It" initiative, sharing access to both private and hire cars. "The study seeks to create practical, low-carbon alternatives to car ownership - such as car clubs, responsive bus services, and shared micromobility options."

📢 NEW: Governments continue to funnel billions into fossil fuel-prolonging projects - while clean air gets just 1% of #GlobalDev finance. Explore the findings of our report, The State of Global Air Quality Funding 2025, out today 👉 bit.ly/4gXEAjm
