🎉 London meets legal NO₂ limits
A major win for #publichealth! London has achieved legal NO₂ levels—nearly 200 years ahead of predictions.
This milestone paves the way toward meeting @who.int guidelines and protecting Londoners from the health harms of air pollution.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 7d
184 years earlier than predicted, London has met the legal limits for toxic NO2 for the first time.

This historic milestone proves that bold action like expanding ULEZ works, protecting children’s health and giving millions cleaner air to breathe.
London Ulez reduced nitrogen dioxide to legal limit, mayor says
The mayor of London says the fall in airborne toxins is due to the Ultra low emission zone expansion.

It’s been a year of progress on tobacco control – thanks to an extraordinary coalition of charities, health professionals, researchers & campaigners.
But with 6m people still smoking, we’ve only just begun. ASH CE @hazelcheeseman.bsky.social reflects on 1️⃣ year in the role.

Shame on the BBC for providing a free platform to tobacco giant BAT to push their lobbying messages against the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.
👀We’re asking the BBC how this is in line with their guidelines on impartiality.

Most Londoners don’t know enough about HIV, and what they can do to help stop new transmissions.

But there’s a lot you DO know about being a Londoner.

We're incredibly excited to TODAY launch our new campaign inviting all Londoners to help prevent HIV together.
Against a purple and blue background reads "Walk on the left. Stand on the right. Here's another thing every Londoner should know: with effective medication, HIV can't be passed on." Underneath that is the Do It London logo and strapline reading "Let's prevent HIV together"

Dentistry and medicine evolved as separate professions, creating educational and institutional silos that left oral health seen as specialised but not integral to overall health or health systems.

This Editorial looks at why this is a problem
