Wandsworth Community Roads
About us
We raise awareness of the impact of air pollution in our local community but we have little community main road monitoring data to look at and share. The children most affected by local air pollution are Black, Asian minority ethnic and many come from low income families who live, walk, shop, work, learn and play on/near our busy community roads.
“We’re delighted to get involved and provide real-time hotspot air pollution monitoring data to those most at risk on community main roads, to enable them to make informed decisions that could lower their air pollution exposure, reduce their risk of heart disease, cancer and respiratory illness and their children’s risk of asthma and stunted lung growth. This will improve quality of life and life expectancy.
We hope this program helps to ensure everyone has access to real-time information for their community road pollution hot spot, where on a day to day basis we have our highest air pollution exposure.”
