We are delighted to be part of Breathe London's initiative. We are passionate about improving air quality for children and excited that we can do this together with our local nursery, situated in the heart of Brixton. We hope this will also contribute to the Lambeth Air Quality Action Plan, supporting their push for cleaner air for residents.

The accurate and up-to-date data from the new monitor will enable students, parents and communities to work with Lewisham council on measures to reduce air pollution, and build support for the Mayor's programme to reduce air pollution across London.

We want our school children to breathe clean healthy air. We plan to plant hedges in front of our local primary schools and want to monitor the difference they make to air quality. That’s why we are so keen to have a Breathe London sensor.

“The pollution of the water is now being closely monitored and the addition of an air pollution monitor will give us a clear indication of the impact of air pollution on the health of local residents, pupils and students, as well as the trees, bushes, plants and biodiversity in the area..”

FRRG are delighted to have been successful in our application for a Breathe London node. The data from the node will help us to determine pollution levels and when they are at their highest. This will provide important evidence to help the FRRG to campaign and fundraise for mitigation measures to help to protect both residents and passers-by from exposure to the dangerously high pollution levels. The project will also further strengthen community relationships, increase understanding of how the area is affected by air pollution and climate change, and help to promote health improvements.

“Croydon has the youngest population of any London Borough and the highest number of child deaths from asthma in London (Asthma UK)”

“The data from the Breathe London node will improve our members ability to avoid air pollution.”

“Earls Court is home to the intersection of three London red routes, inevitably leading to significant pollution.”

“We want to understand the air pollution levels along the Ratcliffe Highway (A1203) to inform the communtity on better ways of improving the urban design of the local area.”

“Our community in South Woodford in the London Borough of Redbridge are deeply concerned about the levels of air pollution in the neighbourhood, particularly in the playground of our lovely local park Elmhurst Gardens which sits next to the North Circular.”

“A local air pollution monitor will provide us with a tangible tool to help us educate school children from St Stephen’s CE Primary School and adjacent schools about air pollution and what can be done to reduce it.”

“We believe that joining the Breathe London programme can really make a difference and support our campaign for a cleaner, healthier, greener road.”

“Gridlocks are regularly occurrences as the roads just aren’t big enough to accommodate the volume of traffic they receive. Rat running happens all the time as motorists try to skip queues on the A roads.”

“Being involved in this programme would give young people and the wider community a better understanding of the levels of air pollution in their community and empower local people to mitigate this.”

“Harlesden is also a very deprived ward - one of the most deprived in London. In our community, a lot of children grow up in poverty and they also breathe a very toxic air. They suffer a double jeopardy.”
