Report Lays Bare Need for Significant Improvements to Air Quality
It makes recommendations for policy change, including improving IAQ
A major report from the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has laid bare the risks to public health from air pollution, both outdoors and in domestic and work environments.
The report “Every Breath We Take” sets out the way pollution from a wide variety of sources — including diesel fumes, wood burning stoves, pollen, and even candles and air fresheners — creates a cumulative impact on the UK population’s health and gives rise to huge costs, yet is poorly regulated, monitored, and understood, particularly when it comes to IAQ.
