If you are receiving pregnancy care at @MFTnhs or @SwanseabayNHS ask to speak to a research midwife about taking part in @RESPIREresearch!

Congratulations to our coordinating research midwife @SeasiderEm of @MFH_research at @MFT_SaintMarys who recruited the very first participant to the RESPIRE-I study! RESPIRE-I will be the first study to directly measure home air pollution and its link to pregnancy health.

Here's Dr Sophie Reed presenting her work within the RESPIRE project at the UK Clean Air Conference 2024! Sophie's work focuses on the effects of air pollution in pregnancy using ex vivo models. #AirPollution #CleanAir

[UKCleanAir @UK_CleanAir]

A chance to present your #airpollution research at this December's @RoySocChem conference.

Come along and hear from members of AQEG and COMEAP on their work.

Call for abstracts and registration is open now.

See you there.

These are 7 actions governments can take to reduce #AirPollution and save lives. WHO calls on governments, cities and partners to join our aspiration to reduce 2/3 of air pollution deaths by 2030.

Let's #BreatheLife.
