🌬️ 96% of England's nurseries are exposed to unsafe air pollution (PM₂.₅) — above WHO limits.
Young children especially vulnerable 🧒
21,000+ sites analysed (2018–2022)
🏙️ Higher in urban, deprived & diverse areas
We need:
🚗 Less traffic
🌳 More green space
📊 Better monitoring

Great to see Guardian cover our research today - it's flats and smaller houses that are most at risk of overheating, so should be no surprise that vulnerable families will be more at risk.

Important to think about cooling homes as well as warming them!

🌟Research from Born In Bradford explores how house moves & physical environments affect mental health

Those experiencing mental health problems are more likely to move, often to areas with worse environmental quality, which may hinder recovery and reinforce inequality

Air pollution is a serious and preventable health risk, especially for children.

We echo @rcphysicians.bsky.social – urgent action is needed. Their new report shows the wide-ranging health harms of polluted air.

Cohorts like ours help build the evidence for change.
