What is Clean Air Day?
It’s Clean Air Day on Thursday 16th June. To celebrate this important day, we’ve launched a #PMTennis campaign to spread awareness of the causes of air pollution, the impact on public health, and the steps we can take to improve it.
Majority of the World is Breathing Poor-quality Air (WHO)
Recent data from the World Health Organisation (WHO) shows that 99% of the global population is breathing poor-quality air. This is air that exceeds WHO’s PM2.5 air-quality limits and is full of particles that penetrate into the lungs, enter the veins and arteries, and cause health problems.
Measures to Help Local Authorities Tackle Air Pollution
The Government has recently launched two consultations on proposals to help local authorities to tackle poor air quality and ensure that air quality standards are met in our communities.
New Environmental Services Announced
We’re pleased to announce the launch of four brand new services, helping clients to gather accurate and reliable data and save time and money across all construction stages. Take a look now and get in touch for more information.
