Clean Air Day
Every year, air pollution causes up to 36,000 deaths in the UK. The
World Health Organisation and the UK Government recognise that
air pollution is the largest environmental health risk we face today.
Poor air quality causes heart and lung diseases, is linked to low birth
weight and children’s lung development and may even contribute
to mental health issues.
Clean Air Day is the UK’s largest air pollution campaign, engaging
thousands of people at hundreds of events, and reaching millions
more through the media.
