What is air pollution?

An air pollutant is anything in the air that could harm people’s health. There are many types, but our two main focuses are Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) as they are at very high levels in the UK and are extremely harmful for health. Learn more about air pollution.

And remember, you can be part of the solution.
