State of Global Air:

Air pollution has overtaken poor sanitation & lack of clean water to become the second biggest health risk factor for young children around the world.

By @fionaharvey.

Pludits to @HEIresearch.

Needs action by every government.

Day 5 and almost at Geneva #WHA77. #RideForTheirLives doctors have experienced their highest nitrogen dioxide today (38). The top exposure looks to be in a valley as they crossed the Jura. Their lungs would have been working hard to get back up the climbs. https://t.co/RJnRpvdrqX

@louiseair @ChinthikaP @DrHLambert @PeteK_AQ @DrMariaNeira @BenBrabyn @zeshanrawn @jksmith34 @KirstendeVos @CamillaKingdon @cleanair_doc Ozone increases as they start climbing the mountains!

[Dr William Hicks @WillHicks001]

We've been modelling the air pollution exposure that @DrHLambert @ChinthikaP @zeshanrawn are experiencing as they cycle to Geneva. Today's focus is O3 - very toxic and caused by VOCs, NOx and Sunlight #AirAwareLabs @stop_pnuemonia @mikeghedges

[louise thomas @louiseair]

Day 3 through France for #RideForTheirLives doctors - another 83 miles closer to #WHA77. We are looking at ozone today: dangerous to health at ground level. Our cyclists have experienced some moderate (68) exposure here, which can aggravate lungs. https://t.co/HGXMevM0Th #GAHP

[louise thomas @louiseair]

#RideForTheirLives doctors covered another 97 miles on their way to #WHA77. On today's ride, the nitrogen dioxide ranged from 1 micrograms per cubic metre to 28. Higher NO2 can irritate airways, reduce lung function and increase risk of infection. https://t.co/HGXMevM0Th #GAHP

[louise thomas @louiseair]

Follow British doctors as they #RideForTheirLives to Geneva World Health Assembly #WHA77. On today's ride, the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) ranged from 1 micrograms per cubic metre to 16. The World Health Organisation recommends a daily average of under 25. See https://t.co/HGXMevM0Th
