Air pollution is one of the largest environmental risks to human health and is linked to a range of health problems, including heart and lung disease.

By making simple changes to how we get around, we can all share in the immediate and lasting health benefits of cleaner air, help protect the planet and ensure that future generations can live happier, healthier lives!

Here’s three simple ways you can help to clean up the air this #CleanAirDay and beyond:

🚲 Walk, wheel, or cycle when you can, especially using quieter streets away from traffic 

🚌 Consider switching to public transport for shorter journeys around your community 

🚦 If you do have to drive, remember to switch off your engine when you stop

Did you know that idling for just 30 seconds produces twice as much air pollution as switching off and restarting your engine? 🚗

Turning off your engine when you stop can also help to cut your fuel consumption.

Even small changes to how we get around can make a difference to the quality of the air we breathe.  

By coming together to take action on air pollution in our communities, we can help both children and adults live healthier and longer lives, boost our local economies and make our communities cleaner and greener.

Everyone’s health is impacted by air pollution, but some people are affected more than others:

🧑‍🧒 Children are particularly at risk from the health harms of air pollution because their airways are smaller and still developing, and engine fumes concentrate at child height 

🤰 Older people, pregnant people and people with existing health conditions are also disproportionately affected by the health harms of air pollution 

🏠 People from racialised communities and those that live in more deprived areas are more likely to be exposed to higher levels of air pollution

You can reduce your contribution to air pollution by walking, wheeling, cycling or switching to public transport when you can. If you have to drive, remember to switch your engine off when you stop!   

By tackling dirty air, we can also boost our local economy as breathing in cleaner air improves our productivity, reduces sick days and helps alleviate the burden on our NHS.

Air pollution affects everyone’s health. It’s linked to a range of health problems throughout our lives – from premature birth and childhood asthma to heart and lung disease, diabetes and strokes in later life.

We may be exposed to higher levels of air pollution because of where we live, and children, older people and people with existing health conditions experience the health harms of dirty air more than others.

You can help clean up the air by walking, wheeling, cycling or switching to public transport when you can. If you have to drive, remember to switch your engine off when you stop!

Air pollution is the biggest environmental risk to our health. Reducing levels of harmful air pollution in our communities will have health benefits for us all, helping both children and adults live longer and healthier lives.

By tackling dirty air, we can also boost our local economy as breathing in cleaner air improves our productivity, reduces sick days and helps alleviate the burden on our NHS.

Many of the solutions that will deliver cleaner air, like increasing use of public transport [ES1] and decarbonising our homes, will also help us cut carbon emissions and protect our natural environment.
