Air pollution affects your health from before your first breath until you last. It’s linked to a range of health issues throughout life – from premature birth and effects on organ development in childhood, through to heart and lung disease, diabetes and strokes in adulthood.

What can you do?

Try active travel - walk, wheel or cycle whenever you can rather than driving, being in a car stuck in traffic can expose you and those around you to more pollution. 

Benefits of active travel include:

• Producing little or no air pollution
• Getting more exercise - which are good for your physical and mental health
• Avoiding traffic jams
• Reducing your carbon footprint to help to tackle climate change
• Saving you money and discovering more of your local area

Need to drive?

Try to PARK AWAY from the school and enjoy a short walk. This small change can significantly reduce air pollution around school gates.
