Indoor Air Quality Working Party

Advancing public understanding, equality of access and experience of healthier indoor air for children and other vulnerable groups in the wider population.

Children in the #UK spend almost all their time indoors. Infancy is spent mostly in the home. The #AirPollution they are exposed to indoors during childhood can have health impacts into adulthood. #YoungPeopleMatter #CleanAirDay Visit: https://t.co/FEzt45kpYU

"For the past two decades, scientists have called for national IAQ standards and laws to be established, but so far, little action has been taken. The approach to indoor air contrasts sharply with outdoor air, for which quality is regulated and monitored and compliance with regulations is enforced."

@GeorgeBouras @DrTELS Worth noting also @DefraGovUK issued 'appliance exemption’ is for fuel-burning appliances that emit smoke below acceptable limits for emission external to the building the appliance is in. They are not regulated for immediate indoor exposure. See: https://t.co/axSDejC6yL.

In @RCPCHtweets @RCPhysicians The Inside Story we recommended providing the public with advice & info about risks & prevention of poor indoor #airquality. Could authorities support direct cease request if monitors show ingress of unsafe levels into home?

[Dr Thomas Smith 🔥🌏 @DrTELS]

& the thread that led to all of this...
It's about a pub (which I do not name) breaking the 'smoke control area' laws that were put in place in the 1950s to stop the 1000s of deaths that resulted from domestic solid fuel burning each year in cities:

@theTCPA campaign calls for @GOVUK to adopt 11 Healthy Homes Principles & to establish a statutory duty on the Secretary of State, making it mandatory for all new homes to meet the Principles, whether converted through Permitted Development or otherwise.
Needed for #retrofit too!

[Town & Country Planning Association @theTCPA]

New homes are making people sick 🤒

Let's protect ourselves - and the #NHS - by cracking down on slum housing 🏡🚫

Email your MP today and ask them to support #HealthyHomes for all 👇
