Poor indoor air quality is linked to serious health problems, and the burden of these impacts is not evenly shared.

NCAS researcher, Dr Amber Yeoman, shares how Awaab’s Law could transform indoor air quality in UK homes:

Who controls the air we breathe at home? Awaab’s law and the limits of individual actions
The ability to improve air quality in your home depends less on personal behaviour and more on who owns the building.

Horrible news from York but glad to see the Universities taking a zero tolerance approach. This, alongside the flag explosion in parts of York is disturbing.
