🚦 Road transport is a major driver of urban air pollution. With 41.7M vehicles, the UK is struggling with poor air quality.
Low Emission Zones (LEZs) are one solution—hundreds exist worldwide. But none yet in NI or RoI. Should that change?
Read Neil's blog on the LEZ workshop here: lnkd.in/gpHxTj3k

A few places remain for our Clean Air Media and Communications Training

ECRs can improve science communication skills, get feedback, and learn from Damian Carrington from The Guardian

[Illustrated graphic showing a pregnant woman, a man, a child and an elderly person surrounded in clouds representing air pollution with vital organs like heart brain and lungs highlighted. The caption reads: "The impacts of air pollution are felt by everyone, but not equally."]

Where you live affects how much air pollution you are exposed to, and children, older people and people with health conditions are disproportionately impacted 🏠
