1/5. We need a favour. The #EnvironmentBill is back in Parliament, and it's not good enough. We need to contact as many MPs as possible to show them there are millions of people who care, & expect better from a Government that professes to be world-leading on this. #AirPollution
2/5. We're focusing on particulate matter (PM), some of the smallest particles of #AirPollution. When you breathe PM in, it causes respiratory issues - exacerbating #Asthma & many more conditions. At the moment in the UK, we're breathing millions of these particles in, every day.
3/5. The Government's #EnvironmentBill is in Parliament right now. The bill states that no limits will be set to bring levels of particulate matter down until 2022. Not only that, but currently we adhere to EU limits - nowhere near as strong as @WHO limits. This must change.
4/5. We can't wait until 2022 for targets to be set for cleaner air. That's openly admitting to failing millions of children and vulnerable people for two more years.

5/5. If you care about #AirPollution & your children or grandchildren's health, please use the @lunguk action here to email your MP, & get your Mum to, your Gran, your Uncle, your cousin in the back of beyond. Let's mobilise. Pass it on. #EnvironmentBill
