This is a sad indictment of the problem of #AirPollution affecting #children in #schools and where they live in the UK.

We know this affects their physical #health. What about the mental toll?

Launching nationwide soon.
Using the most granular pollution data available from @imperialcollege accurate to 20m/sq across the whole UK, very soon everyone will be able to check the air quality at any UK address.
Check your #airpollution rating and lets #addresspollution
