Clean Air Day
Clean Air Day is here, learn about air quality — and it’s more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a powerful reminder that the air we breathe matters. Whether you’re walking through Gheluvelt Park, cycling along the River Severn, or simply opening your windows at home, clean air is essential for our health, our environment, and our future.
Why Clean Air Matters
Air pollution is often invisible, but its effects are not. It can come from many sources — cars, construction, industry, fires, farms, flights, and even dust and pollen. On high pollution days, the air can trigger asthma, worsen heart and lung conditions, and affect children’s development.
But here’s the good news: you can take action.

- Keeping windows closed during high-pollution hours
