Want to know about #AirPollution in #schools and what to do about it?
We're a group of #parents who have put together information for other parents and for #teachers.
Come and visit us at cleanschoolair.com.
@RishiSunak before you decide whether to delay the 2030 ban on petrol & diesel cars and to remove LTNs please visit #children in #hospital suffering from the effects of #AirPollution and please talk to planners about reversing induced demand for driving.
There is a clinic at the @RoyalLondonHosp in Tower Hamlets and I’m sure that @DrJonathanGrigg would be happy to discuss the effects of #AirPollution on children with you.
And here is evidence re the effects of LTNs on improving #health.

Let’s get #diesel off our roads in #London as quickly as possible.
As the rate of #asthma amongst school children continues to rise and the longer term wide ranging effects of #AirPollution on #health becomes more clearly understood why wait any longer?
#DitchDiesel NOW!
40% of London’s harmful nitrogen oxide emissions are emitted by diesel vehicles. Removing diesel from our roads would be life changing for today’s children - the #DieselGeneration 😞. We are calling for London to phase out diesel vehicles by 2030. #DitchDiesel #AirPollution
Here’s an important initiative to boost the campaign for #cleanair in our #cities around the world.
Coming together to share information and inspiration is so important to tackle this daily threat to urban #health. 💪
Cities continue to lead the charge on combating climate change. That's why we’ve teamed up with @MayorofLondon, @BloombergDotOrg and @c40cities to launch #BreatheCities, ensuring clean air and healthier lives around the world ⬇️

#CodeYellow alert | MODERATE ozone #AirPollution expected on Thursday in London, Central and Eastern England. Mainly caused by still air. Thereafter, southwesterly winds and patches of rain in places should take the worst sting from this episode. Possibly nasty on Sunday
Shame on you Theresa Villiers!
Seriously… 2nd highest #death rate from #AirPollution in #London and you are best placed to know the risks to the #health of #children in the borough. What is going on?!
#Barnet
#ULEZ
Barnet has the second highest death rate from #AirPollution in London. Yet former Environment Secretary Theresa Villiers is campaigning against measures that will clean up the air for her constituents. Today we visited her with a strong message. #CleanAirDay #ULEZ

As #CleanAirDay draws to a close please think about what action you can take for #CleanAir.
Here are some suggestions.👇
#CleanAirDay is here 🎉 Let's clean up our air to look after our minds! 🧠

As NYC recovers from Canadian wildfire smoke, pple’s attention has turned towards #cleanair.
In #London a high #AirPollution episode is focussing attention.
Today, #CleanAirDay, pple have been talking about it but it is an issue we need to think about EVERY DAY for our future.
Here's a new programme for schools to help them tackle air pollution once #CleanAirDay is over. ActNow introduces schools to air quality management and gives them a list of simple measures they can take to reduce their exposure to air pollution.

We so agree with this. With all that knowledge from her time working @DefraGovUK and in #Transport why has Theresa Villiers chosen not to support the best scheme available to tackle #AirPollution? What is more important for #London than the #health of its population?
#ULEZ
1/5. Theresa Villiers used to be #Environment Secretary. Today she attacked measures to tackle a type of #AirPollution which she once said "does the greatest damage to human health."

Loving this personal account of someone ditching their #car and enjoying the benefits.
This will resonate with many. We would add that there’s not a better feeling than #cycling on a summer’s day (albeit away from traffic as far as possible). theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

#Dementia affects so many people in the UK.
It is time that we took #AirPollution into account to help reduce the risk of dementia in our ageing population and other effects on brain health. theguardian.com/environment/…
Is your #school taking part in the Walk to School Week? If not, please encourage them to do so.
Aside from encouraging movement, it will help to reduce #AirPollution on the #schoolrun which in turn has more health benefits!
#WalkToSchoolWeek livingstreets.org.uk/product…
Research has shown that people living in places with excessive amounts of PM2.5 […] have a heightened risk for dementia by 92%.’
#AirPollution also increases depression, absenteeism, crime… so as well as physiological effects it has psychological ones. mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-…
We’ve got to tackle #AirPollution for the future of our #children.
It’s dreadful that every borough in #London breaches @WHO guidelines. 😢
Air in every London borough breaches WHO guidelines on toxic nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
