An #idling vehicle produces 2x emissions as a moving vehicle and then 10x emissions when it accelerates. Brake, tyre & road surface wear creates particulate matter. Vehicles on West Hill start-stop 30-40 times and idle for 10-12 minutes to drive one mile.🥴 #NO2idling #ToxicAir

Our local nursery is on a main road where #airpollution is above legal limits. It's outside the #ULEZ 2021 expansion area and you can't close the A3 for a #schoolstreet or a #lowtrafficneighbourhood. Children here are sufffering. 😰 Is there really nothing we can do? #NO2idling

AirQualityNews met @DrGaryFuller of @KingsCollegeLon to discuss his new book The Invisible Killer, the last time his research surprised him and why we're all responsible for air pollution. https://t.co/WlN6UYPmUl

Really worrying that particulate pollution is getting worse. This is terrible for our health and shows why it is so important that every level of govt works its hardest to deter car use, improve public transport and make it safe to walk and cycle.

The risk of dying from long-term exposure to London’s toxic air has risen for a second year running in an “utterly horrifying” reversal of the previous improving trend.

Countdown, 7 days to go #CleanAirDay
#Woodburning in 2019 is unnecessary, uncontrolled & largely ignored. It is the single largest source of harmful PM2.5 & has huge impacts on #AirPollution & #Health. Urgent public awareness is needed 👇 #Woodsmoke #Woodstoves
#CleanAirForAll?
A good way to raise awareness of impacts of #Wood/#Solidfuel burning, a real & growing #AirPollution problem in Hertfordshire #CleanAirDay
