🌬️ 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 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

Great to see Guardian cover our research today - it's flats and smaller houses that are most at risk of overheating, so should be no surprise that vulnerable families will be more at risk. Important to think about cooling homes as well as warming them!
