Is @SarahWoodberryD really claiming that traffic is down on adversely affected residential roads or playing semantics? @hackneycouncil ’s own data shows it’s up even when it’s a 24hr average. Try telling the truth, Sarah! LTNs = environmental injustice! https://t.co/5g5xsBQG3J

@indieHackney @jksmith34 @visitcamberwell @SocEnvJustice @mrmikecowan @JohnJohnStewart @EvanDriscoll10 @ShimanoSteve @TheFox89688362 @MichaelRacers @Meg_HillierMP Now that TfL's own research confirms LTNs do NOT reduce car use and are NOT a 'green scheme', will politicians please act to protect those suffering the increase traffic congestion and toxic emissions on LTN sacrificial roads? @MayorofLondon @Keir_Starmer @ediz1975 @cristo_radio

Did you know that the air you breathe can harm your brain, and increase your risk for dementia, anxiety and depression? Nine out of 10 people around the world breathe air that does not meet WHO’s recommended air quality standards. Dr Maria Neira explains in Science in 5 .

Delhi again! Water being sprinkled around AQI monitor in Jahangirpuri — one of the 13 pollution hotspots in the city. You can see that the water is just being sprayed around the monitor! https://t.co/cpOZbDizj5

Worsening traffic congestion & emissions on busy community roads in the hope that traffic would evaporate/disappear? Five years of increased air pollution exposure for those already most at risk and now research confirms LTNs do NOT reduce car use. Worth it?

Nachdem mein Ursprünglicher 🧵 von X gekappt worden war, bin ich nun über andere Sicherungen erneut an den Anfang gegangen. So hat sich seit 2022 das Wissen zu neurologischen Schäden durch COVID-19 entwickelt hat. Hier im Anhang nun der Anfang. Und direkt danach September 2025.

This man held the NITI Aayog for so many years but he's lecturing like a saint who had nothing to do when it comes to cooperative federalism in the governance domain. His intellectual bankruptcy was overshadowed by the PR, rhetorical narratives..
Delhi’s air quality lies in shambles: 36/38 monitoring stations have hit the 'red zone,' AQI is above 400 in key areas. The Hon. Supreme Court in its wisdom has prioritised the right to burn crackers over the right to live and breathe. Delhi remains among the world’s most

In London over 250,000 young people aged 5-19 have an asthma diagnosis. In London every year we loose between 8-12 young people. The direct action by having filtration in classrooms will reduce the spread of viruses.

Last Diwali, Delhi’s AQI hit 806- 59x WHO safe limits. Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, UP, Rajasthan: toxic air, thousands affected. Winter air traps pollutants, harming lungs & hearts, especially of children & elderly. This Diwali: celebrate with light, not smoke. #CleanAir
