🌬️ 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

This Children’s Environmental Health Day, we’re proud to be a partner of the Children’s Environmental Health Network (CEHN), an organisation working to create safer, healthier, and more equitable environments for all children 🌍 🧵1/

Our team had a fantastic time at #ADRUK2025 in Cardiff 🐉

We joined researchers, policymakers & practitioners to explore how administrative data can transform health, social care, education & more.

A quick thread on our highlights 🧵

Here's a quick round-up 👇1/5

Lets commit to supporting biodiverse green spaces in every community.

Come along to our Mini-Symposium to learn more about how environments shape our health: eventbrite.co.uk/e/mini-sympo...

Biodiverse spaces:
🌬️ Filter air → Clean air
💧 Filter water → Safe drinking water
🌡️ Regulate climate → Stable temperatures & fewer extreme weather events
🍽️ Support food systems → Nutrient-rich food
🦠 Prevent disease → A healthier population

🌿 Biodiversity is the foundation of human health 🌿

From forests to wetlands to gardens, biodiverse ecosystems do more than support wildlife, they actively protect our health.

A 🧵on how biodiverse spaces play a vital role in shaping our health:

We’re so impressed with their green campus, and are enjoying practicing what we preach to take some time to be in nature 🌿

Looking forward to working together more in future!
