So many ideas today at the British Academy conference on communicating #airpollution.

Some great highlights in @peteknapp.bsky.social 's thread from the day....
At this conference about communicating air quality, @andygrieveair.bsky.social said “we aren’t expecting any fire alarms, but there is a gentlemen’s club next door with fireplaces and cigars (audible gasp) so if you smell smoke it’s probably them”

I love these guys.

Yes, totally. That's why projects like Forth-ERA where we're monitoring #AirQuality in smaller cities, towns and villages is important, too #Stirlingshire #Clackmannanshire www.stir.ac.uk/about/scotla...

Great to see Starmer acknowledge children shouldn't breathe air pollution.

"I don't want my children breathing dirty air."

But the Govt is failing. 99.8% of schools in England are in areas where fine particulate pollution is above safe levels 🧵
