Clean Air Hub
What is Clean Air Day?
Clean Air Day is the UK's largest air pollution campaign since 2017, engaging thousands of people at hundreds of events, and reaching millions more through the media. Coordinated by Global Action Plan, Clean Air Day brings together communities, businesses, education, and the health sector, improving public understanding of air pollution, building awareness of how air pollution affects our health and explaining some of the easy things we can all do to tackle air pollution, helping to protect our health and the environment too. In 2021 Southend-on-Sea City council signed up as an official supporter.
The aim of the campaign is to inform as many Southend on Sea residents and visitors as possible about the sources and health impacts of air pollution, what they can do to protect their health, and to encourage people to do something to reduce air pollution on Clean Air Day and in the future.

Air pollution gets in your blood through your lungs and can affect every organ of the body. But we can all do something to cut pollution to benefit our health and planet. This Clean Air Day take steps towards cleaner air:
Talk to someone about the harms of air pollution. share knowledge to help others understand how to protect their health.
Walk those short distance trips and leave the car at home, where you can. Leaving the car at home and walking instead is better for clean air and health.
Ask local and national decision makers for what would make it easier for you to walk more and have clean air in your community. Support local air quality actions and ask for more

Recognition that indoor air pollution is just as harmful as that from traffic.
Second hand smoke drift, constant heavy use of solvents and aerosols can permeate bedsits, shared accommodation and conversions. This isn't just unpleasant. For those susceptible to stroke, asthma and heart problems this is really unhealthy. We need the local authority to provide out of hours environmental health support and to step in and prosecute.

Rhe Airport is responsible for a large percentage of localised pollution. It is not necessary and could provide a site for many homes and a new hospital. Thereby providing many more local jobs and reducing hospital waiting times. Local air pollution is responsible for an increase in lung cancers. We need urgent action to save lives.

Please consider using public transport. Clean air: avoid private transport & barbecue fires.
Private cars are convenient; but making them our primary mode of transport is harming our health, especially the most vulnerable, and destroying our beautiful world. Time for change
