BREAKING: We won! 💪 🙌 We are absolutely delighted at the decision the High Court has made, making documents in October’s #Dieselgate class action publicly available due to the high level of public interest in this case.

As part of our ongoing #Dieselgate campaign, we attended the Pan-NOx Emissions Group Litigation hearing at the High Court this week. This is the next stage in our campaign to push for public transparency and #OpenJustice in the upcoming £6 billion Dieselgate trial, scheduled for October.

Ah, nothing like an interiors magazine promoting air purifiers while continuing to publish articles on #WoodBurning, which pollutes the air in your home as well as that of your neighbours and community. #AirPollution @homesandgardens.com.web.brid.gy

So grateful to all the health professionals who gave up time from their busy days to shine a light on this urgent health crisis. Thank you!

Interesting to read about the amazing work being done in #Manchester to make it smoke-free. Can we see the same level of ambition for #AirPollution reduction? Thanks for covering this @theleaduk.bsky.social‬.

Alice, thank you for everything you do to improve air quality and children's #Health. And for the beautiful Clean Air Now bunting you made for us, which will adorn our campaigns for years to come! #VolunteersWeek #CleanAir

Frances, where would we be without you? You've been involved since the early days, contributing to our campaigns, writing and sending out our newsletters and helping us shape our direction of travel. Thank you 😘. #VolunteersWeek #AirPollution @francesbuckingham.bsky.social

Today marks the start of #VolunteersWeek. We want to say a massive thank you to all our amazing volunteers for your time, care & support for #AirPollution action. Whether it’s brainstorming campaigns, meeting your MP, attending an event or sending out flyers, we are nothing without you! 💚 😘

There are still millions of #Diesel cars on the UK’s roads emitting suspiciously high levels of #AirPollution. The US government took action for the damage caused by the original Dieselgate scandal. Now we need our government to deal with the UK legacy: car manufacturers must be held to account.

Between 2009 & 2024 these Euro 5 & pre-RDE Euro 6 cars, likely linked to defeat devices, cost the EU & UK an eye-watering €760 billion, and caused widespread damage to #AirQuality & public #Health. It’s an absolute scandal, even more so because #Dieselgate is alive and well in the UK right now.

Shocking new research by @clientearth.bsky.social & @creacleanair.bsky.social reveals the #Health effects of excess NOx #AirPollution emissions in the UK. Reminder: these emissions come from Euro 5&6 #Diesel cars emitting suspiciously high levels of pollution. Millions are still on our roads.

Want to know why we keep talking about #DirtyDiesel? 1. Manufacturers likely fitted cars with emissions defeat devices. 2. We bought the cars in good faith. 3. There are now millions of cars emitting suspiciously high levels of #AirPollution on our roads. 4. Nothing is being done about it. 5. 👀 👇

Hello and welcome to our newest followers! If you haven't already, please sign up for our newsletter. We'll send you news about #AirPollution in general and information about our campaigns.

Our panel led by Prof Sheena Cruickshank brings together Manchester City Council, @mumsforlungs.bsky.social, Greater Manchester Arts Sustainability Team and @ardwickclimate.bsky.social to discuss the work around air quality in Manchester. @sustainableuom.bsky.social

The differences between #AirQuality Indexes (AQI) across the world are fascinating & frustrating. AQI bandings can be very misleading. We need DEFRA to adjust their AQI so that people get the true picture of what they're breathing. airqualitynews.com/health/makin...

Manchester has the highest NO2 #AirPollution in the country. Hospital admissions for under 3s have risen by a third. As @lizgdfy.bsky.social says: “We have to be changing the narrative across #GreaterManchester to focus on #Health, and we’ve got to be prioritising protecting our children’s lungs.”

We love our #SchoolStreet! Can't wait to see these rolled out at many more schools across #GreaterManchester. #SchoolStreetsNorth @andyburnham.bsky.social @bevcraig.bsky.social

"This isn’t just about buses & taxis, it’s about children gasping for breath in A&E. It’s about the 1,200 early deaths a year in #GreaterManchester linked to dirty air. Tackling #AirPollution must move away from the pro/anti-car debate to one that speaks to the public #Health emergency it presents."

Register for our free School Street Conference on Friday 16th May! Whether you're a teacher, governor or involved parent, come along and find out more about how to get started with your school. ⬇️⬇️ @mumsforlungs.bsky.social

Air pollution makes kids sick. We need to keep pushing that message.

We're gearing up for the @landorlinks.bsky.social #SchoolStreetsNorth conference next Thursday, May 1st. Delighted to be talking with Cazz Ward from @walkridegm.org.uk about School Streets and #ActiveTravel alongside so many other brilliant people. @lizgdfy.bsky.social #GreaterManchester

NEW: We've uncovered a 33% increase in the number of babies & toddlers admitted to #GreaterManchester hospitals with breathing problems between 2023 & 2024. #AirPollution levels in Manchester are illegal and have continued to rise. @andyburnham.bsky.social & @bevcraig.bsky.social must do more.

“One of the most powerful forms of #Climate communication is just telling people that a majority of other people think climate change is happening, human-caused, a serious problem and a priority for action.” This #EarthDay, can you have one conversation with friends, family & neighbours about this?

Why is there no health warning on a wood stove? Wood smoke contains most of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke, including benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Tobacco products have had health warning messages for years - it's time for stoves to have the same. #AirPollution #Health

There has been almost no change in the number of diesels on the streets of #Manchester since 2017 and no incentive for drivers not to buy a diesel. "We’re a sink for used diesels" - our #GreaterManchester Co-ordinator's comments at the recent Air Quality News Northern #AirQuality Conference.

This is an absolute scandal, going under the radar. Millions of diesel cars linked to #Dieselgate defeat devices are still on our roads today, making us sick. The Government needs to make manufacturers recall them and set up a #CleanAir fund like in the US ($2.7bn fund) and Germany (€250m fund).

We've barely seen a change in the numbers of #Diesel cars in #GreaterManchester since #Dieselgate, 10 years ago. 👀 Look what happened in London! Many of those cars still emit suspiciously high levels of #AirPollution, damaging GM's #Health. @andyburnham.bsky.social: more needs to be done.

We love #SchoolStreets! And so do the children of Acacias Community Primary School in #Manchester. Find out why by watching our new film. #AirPollution #ActiveTravel

Two days to go until our second #Diesel webinar. Join us on Friday (28th) at 12:30pm to find out about the ongoing Dieselgate scandal and why it so urgent for diesel vehicles to be phased out. #AirPollution #DirtyDiesel

NEW: School Streets webinar, Monday 28th April at 8pm. Come and find out about #SchoolStreets and how to get one set up at your school. We want to support you wherever you are - please join the discussion!

Sir Keir is forgetting the true cost of owning a vehicle. 

There is a societal cost as well as financial: 👉 Collisions - injuries, fatalities, economic losses, policing 👉 #AirPollution - negative impact on #Health & environment 👉 Environmental impact - emissions contribute to #Climate change

Our #GreaterManchester lead @lizgdfy.bsky.social recently helped co-ordinate a launch event at the new #SchoolStreet at Acacias Community Primary School. Take a look at our film to find out why the children love their School Street! #AirPollution

💪 The #ULEZ is revealed to have reduced #AirPollution significantly across ALL of London. 💚 Congratulations to @london.gov.uk, thank you for protecting children’s #Health and ensuring the next generation of Londoners can grow up breathing cleaner air.

“School streets are a total joy! The air smells and tastes completely different." (Quote from a #Manchester parent). #GreaterManchester people - talk to your headteacher about #SchoolStreets after half term. Transport for GM is looking for schools to register their interest!

I've just signed the @mumsforlungs.bsky.social letter asking for transparency about the impact on the air we breathe from defeat devices fitted to diesel cars. 🖋️ Signatures accepted up to 22nd February.

We're looking again at the Chief Medical Officer's 2022 #AirPollution report and noting how much diesel contributes to the nitrogen oxides we are breathing across England. Diesel needs to go. #DitchDiesel https://buff.ly/4hY9erU

Good to see DEFRA getting closer to publishing a revised Environmental Improvement Plan. Will it include the legislation the Conservative government promised in the 2023 version, to tighten emissions limits in Smoke Control Areas? #AirPollution #WoodBurningStove www.gov.uk/government/p...

500 signatures and counting! Let's get this to 1000. 🚘 💨 Remember #Dieselgate? That was 10 years ago. Diesel cars fitted with defeat devices are still on our roads today. We believe the public needs to know what we're breathing - please sign our letter if you agree. buff.ly/4hxAJZx #AirPollution

Great to see @traffordcouncil.bsky.social's school street scheme feature on @bbcbreakfast.bsky.social this morning Give children the choice, and they will cycle to school. The only thing stopping them are adults who make our cities dangerous to be a kid!

Once you see #carspreading, you see it everywhere. It's taking over our streets, one oversized SUV at a time. Tag us in your #carspreading photos so we can show the world how bad it's getting. cleancitiescampaign.org/cars...
