CleanAir Schools is working with scientists from the University of NSW to monitor air quality, creating healthier schools for our children and our communities
A thought for #Earthday. A powerful route to dealing with the #ClimateCrisis is to tackle #airpollution.
Poor #AirQuality is significantly impacting human health RIGHT NOW & very the same pollutants are also warming our planet🌍

It's Clean Air Month! Please watch this video about school buses and children's health: https://t.co/CHyI7HazOk
Then call or write your elected leaders, tell them we need EV school buses to keep kids healthy! https://t.co/wtQl1B0Jmx

This is very worrying, and another very good reason why we need to urgently work together to decrease #AirPollution Let's do it! 💪 https://t.co/XoDxVnFsb9
New thread of noteworthy environmental health & #AirPollution facts & research.
Children travelling by foot/car/bus on main roads were exposed to greater levels of harmful nitrogen dioxide (NO2) than those on lower traffic roads. 1/

A great infographic that clearly shows the impact of various modes of transport. Whenever you can, #walk or #cycle, especially for short journeys, or just a few times a week. It really makes a difference! #ActiveTravel#AirPollution#AirQuality
The less #AirPollution and more green space a child is exposed to, the less likely they are to develop attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a sweeping cohort study of nearly 30,000 children born in 2000 and 2001 https://t.co/TFyMWYZYH2
Loved this important conversation between @richaanirudh and @SesameWrkshpIND about air pollution's impact on children, and the power of young people in being part of the solution. Clean air is vital for healthy, happy children 🫁 #MeraPlanetMeraGhar
CleanAir Schools has partnered with @UNSWScience and @JoinClarity to monitor air quality both inside and outside the classroom. Understand more about your schools’ environment and find out how we aim to empower students and staff to make a change here: https://t.co/A4vXocLAbM
#AirPollution is a #PublicHealth issue that impacts residents in cities around the world.
So what can #LocalGov leaders do address it?

Become a clean air school to find out more about the air our children breathe as they work, play and learn! We’re hoping to monitor both inside and outside the classroom to understand more about air quality and empower schools to make a difference! https://t.co/Fx8kK4oaBm
The air we breathe affects every part of the body, from the lungs to the heart and brain ❤🧠
Unfortunately, being indoors doesn’t protect you from polluted air.
We spend approximately 90% of our time indoors. so the indoor environment has a significant impact on our wellbeing.
Excellent explainer from @DrMariaNeira@WHO re: health dangers of air pollution 🫁 , highlighting action that need to be taken to reduce private car🚗 use & encourage more sustainable transport 🚌🚄🚲🚶♀️, among other measures. Worth 5 mins of your time 👇 https://t.co/BzRmd1aZvO
We’re so excited to have air quality monitors up and running at Claremont College! This enables real-time access to air quality data for staff, students and their parents to learn more about challenges in their immediate environment and enact real solutions to combat them.
