New research has looked at whether the air we breathe during pregnancy can affect a child’s development.
Higher indoor PM₂.₅ exposure during pregnancy was associated with lower cognitive scores at age 4, strongest in the first trimester.

Getting sick does not make your immune system stronger.
Your immune system isn’t a muscle and you don’t need to keep “exercising” it with viral infections.
Yes, infection can create immune memory. That is not the same as making your whole immune system stronger.

Last week we posted about the common misconception that cold air makes you sick.
As the weather cools, we all head indoors more, just as virus season gets going.
That means more shared air, more infections and more disruption.

Cold weather doesn’t give you a “chill” that makes you sick.
What actually happens is that colder weather pushes us indoors, where we spend more time sharing air in spaces that are often poorly ventilated.

New research involving Imperial College London and UKHSA measured indoor air in 112 London homes and found routine fragrance-product use could substantially increase indoor PM₂.₅.

Did you know there’s a predictable spike in childhood asthma attacks after children return to school?
Research has found hospital admissions can peak around 2–3 weeks after the start of term - sometimes called the “September asthma epidemic”.

Well, we’re off to a strong start to the school year.
Kiddo injured his finger in PE and, after making it through the rest of the day with a very swollen finger, we decided we should probably get it X-rayed.

Back-to-school prep is more than uniforms and stationery.
This year, we’ve helped Lessness Heath with their indoor air quality back-to-school prep. 📚💨

Today, Clean Air Where delivered indoor air quality training at Lessness Heath Primary 💚
Staff learned how to use monitoring, ventilation and filtration to support healthier classrooms, wellbeing and learning.
One teacher immediately brought a CO₂ monitor back into use.

The government has launched a free air-quality alert service.
Choose an area that matters to you and get an SMS or email when pollution is forecast to be high.
Useful for planning exercise, routes, ventilation and reducing exposure.

Air pollution isn’t fixed. It can change by the hour, between neighbourhoods and even from one street to the next.
Knowing where to look makes it much easier to factor air quality into everyday decisions 👇

Pregnant women are told to avoid soft cheese, alcohol, raw fish and too much caffeine.
We strongly promote vaccination, but we rarely talk about preventing exposure in the first place.

Buying a HEPA filtration unit is only the first step.
Whether it’s for a school, nursery, workplace or care home, education is just as important as the equipment itself.

We often talk about CO₂, but NO₂ can also affect the air we breathe.
Here’s a quick guide to where it comes from, why it matters and how to reduce exposure. 👇

This is exactly why we now offer training to help schools, nurseries and all childcare settings understand the science and the why behind indoor air quality policies.
Get in touch if you want:
✅ Better attendance
✅ Less illness disruption
✅ Healthier learning environments
It’s a health issue.
It’s an environmental issue.
It’s a moral justice issue.
The consequences of decades of inaction on toxic air have been dire, but particularly for poorer communities.
As we and the rest of our natural world struggles with man-made climate hazards and breakdown, the work our city has done to clean the air has never been more important.
Thank you to everyone who supports and advocates for continued action on air quality: there is more to be done, and City Hall is leading the charge to protect Londoners’ health.

A US study of 97 households found replacing gas stoves with induction was associated with:
• 70% lower indoor NO₂
• 70% fewer asthma-related hospital visits
• 80% fewer days missed from work or school
The study ended early, so larger studies are still needed.

📚 Case Study 3
Improving Indoor Air Quality in a Primary School
@Lessnessprimary wanted to explore how improving indoor air quality could support healthier learning environments and contribute to its wider wellbeing and attendance strategy.

Look at these beauties! Well done Lessness Heath and @SmartAir for prioritising children and staff health.
Hopefully more schools follow the DfE guidance and consider their own indoor air quality.
Drop us a message if you’d like to work on transforming your setting 💨🩵
Thank you so much to @SmartairUk for helping us to install these fabulous Blast units! We can now protect every child from pollution,pollen and airborne bugs!#CleanAirSchool
