"Facilities that burn fossil fuels are the overwhelmingly dominant source of heat-trapping pollution that is driving the climate crisis – by using the sky as if it were an open sewer" Quote from Al Gore. Piece by Fiona Harvey. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Air pollution can affect how well we sleep, scientists discover #airpollution Story by @drgaryfuller.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To now see a drug like that being vilified by people with no medical expertise is not only infuriating — it’s dangerous. This isn’t about protecting babies. It’s about pushing an extremist agenda that puts women’s lives at risk.

I remember being very ill with the flu during my first pregnancy — running a dangerously high fever and hallucinating. The only safe and effective relief available to me was paracetamol. Without it, both my baby and I could have been in serious danger.

Larissa Lockwood, Director of Policy and Campaigns at Global Action Plan asks: where is the systematic health sector leadership on air pollution?

New tool reveals how facilities expose 1.6 billion people to dangerous air pollution #AirPollution #Health airqualitynews.com/headlines/ne...

If we could get those 1.6bn people to be up in arms over this it could be a game changer! The problem is that because air pollution is often invisible awareness remains low share.google/EjryuJCnVRde...

A new study has found that lower exposure to #AirPollution (nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and PM2.5) was linked to better eyesight in children. They believe that not only can cleaner air play a vital role in protecting children’s eyesight – it may even improve vision.

New school year, new school assemblies. We recently added a Key Stage 3 assembly to our resources. If you're keen to engage more with your school about #AirPollution, please take a look and consider asking to deliver one at your school. #Schools #Education

Thank you to @anguscouncil.bsky.social for recognising the damage wood burning does to our #Health and #Environment. This is good to see - which council will be next? #Angus #WoodBurning

Is air pollution keeping you awake at night? New international review from Johns Hopkins University identifies #airpollution as a contributor to poor sleep. Piece by me. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"The government must act now and make polluters pay." Car companies built cars that emit illegal and toxic levels of gases. Little lungs are paying for it every day in the UK, and the manufacturers have still not been held to account. #Dieselgate @clientearth.bsky.social

Oxford Street has an appalling road casualty and air pollution record. Banning cars from central London is the answer, says Living Streets

This is Oxford Street

Tomorrow marks the ten year anniversary of #Dieselgate. It is unbelievable that, ten years after this scandal broke, we are still breathing in excess emissions from diesel cars, and nothing has been done about it in the UK. #AirPollution

My elderly family members really struggled in the heat this year, and I've seen how it takes them days to feel better as the weather cools. These are impacts of our climate emergency. Note the UK rank in the graphics. Great research by Garyfallos Konstantinoudis @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

To mark the 10 years since #Dieselgate, we asked our volunteers to help us show the passage of time. The children may have grown up, but one thing remains the same: the excess #Diesel emissions in our air, which these children have been breathing their whole lives.

Yes all of those! And restrictions on wood burning. Generally more awareness is needed among the public (national public awareness campaign), so that pressure can be put in turn onto local and national governments to act.

Green hydrogen isn’t needed and isn’t green. It’s expensive and batteries + solar are both cheaper and less damaging. What are we even doing here?

Today, we held our first #Manchester Health Care Summit, focusing on #AirPollution & children. Hosted [email protected], we heard from #Health professionals about their experience with paediatric respiratory health across Manchester, and discussed actions to address our #ToxicAir.

🔥 New report finds high carbon emissions, multiple health concerns and environmental justice issues all associated with burning wood. 📢 Calls for improved regulation, enhanced public awareness and prioritised research.

📢Our Amplifying Voices strand partners with the communities who are most affected by air pollution to advocate for change. 🫶As part of that strand, we're proud to support TSIP's work to listen to the communities most affected by air pollution. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbt_...
