Brilliant to meet you @healthequals.bsky.social - thank you for all your work!
Lots of us are becoming more aware of what’s in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the seas we swim in. But what about the air we breathe?

@mumsforlungs.bsky.social You provide an incredibly important voice for policymakers to listen to. Great to meet you!
It was a pleasure to meet you, @veggielungdoc.bsky.social, this time last week on #CleanAirDay.
"It's around 1 in 7 of our patients...about 1 case a week. We're diagnosing somebody who's never smoked, with lung cancer. I'm here today to campaign for cleaner air for us all to breathe".

👏Important new report from @rcphysicians.bsky.social showing just how dangerous air pollution is to our health.
Over 500 people a week dying from dirty air is a public health crisis, and the Government MUST treat it as such. #CleanAirDay

Air pollution must be recognised as a public health issue.
Our report 'A breath of fresh air' highlights evidence on the increased range of health impacts linked to air pollution.
The government needs to treat #airpollution as a serious & preventable health risk.
