Air pollution must be recognised as a public health issue. Our report 'A breath of fresh air' highlights evidence on the increased range of health impacts linked to air pollution. The government needs to treat #airpollution as a serious & preventable health risk. 🔗 ow.ly/F3yq50Wc7wr #CleanAirDay

The Labour gov have allowed wood burning stoves to be permitted in new homes as a secondary heating source in the Future Homes and Buildings Standards. As an air quality scientist, this is appalling news. Smoke from stoves is a growing health hazard. But why did the UK gov make this decision? 🧵
