We’re excited to attend tonight’s parliamentary reception launching HAC colleagues @asthmaandlung.org.uk’s Our Air, Our Voices report. Everyone deserves clean air - yet the burden of air pollution is unequal. This report shows what fair, inclusive clean air policy can look like. 🔗 bit.ly/44p2ezs

🚨 Very high air pollution alert for Sunday. Saharan dust is expected to raise pollution levels this weekend which is harmful for people with asthma, lung or heart conditions. Limit outdoor activity, avoid busy roads and check daily forecasts. 👉 www.asthmaandlung.org.uk/living-with/... #pollution

Brilliant to join @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social, @sianberry.bsky.social and others today in sunny South London for the publication of the Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill. Clean air is not a nice to have.

We are shocked to read about the stove industry's attempts to stifle local councils who publicise the dangers of wood burning stoves. #AirPollution www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Earlier this month, the @commonseac.parliament.uk launched an inquiry into air pollution in England. We submitted evidence showing children are hit hardest, UK targets lag behind WHO guidance & councils lack powers. Inquiries like this are vital to hold government to account + push for cleaner air.
