@marianeira.bsky.social from WHO - we need to think more about marketing in relation to air quality - eg influencers to mobilise attention, Mums (and Dads!) are powerful in this space, need to frame it as a health problem

@drgaryfuller.bsky.social highlighting issues with air pollution limit values, considered as a ceiling to pollute up to and the idea that below this is safe and above you should do something. Also moving from doom & gloom towards a positive vision of what a healthy air future could look like.

We've seen in Scottish villages that people believe traffic is the main air pollutant. However, it's when people look at their local #AirPollution data and see evening peaks in particulate matter that their perceptions begin to change.

Yes, totally. That's why projects like Forth-ERA where we're monitoring #AirQuality in smaller cities, towns and villages is important, too #Stirlingshire #Clackmannanshire www.stir.ac.uk/about/scotla...

"I don't want my children breathing dirty air", PM tells pupils - BBC Newsround
The UK's prime minister invited Newsround into 10 Downing Street to answer questions from a group of primary school pupils.
Great to see Starmer acknowledge children shouldn't breathe air pollution.
"I don't want my children breathing dirty air."
But the Govt is failing. 99.8% of schools in England are in areas where fine particulate pollution is above safe levels 🧵
