Everything you need to know about air pollution together in one place
Lots of people are new to the idea that air pollution is damaging to people's health, they don't understand the science, and they don't know what they can do to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
We created the Clean Air Hub to provide a robust "one stop shop" for the general public, sharing information on the health harms of air pollution, where air pollution comes from and what actions people can take, in plain English.

What's on the Clean Air Hub
The Clean Air Hub contains information on health information for people on topics such as:
- What air pollution is and where it comes from
- How air pollution can affect our health throughout our lives
- How air pollution impacts on the climate crisis and nature
- What we can do as individuals to make ourselves and others safer
Our health messaging has been reviewed by representatives from Public Health England, the Royal College of Physicians and Kings College London.
The Clean Air Hub also holds tools to help people take action and understand their own air quality.
Clean Air calculator - This air pollution calculator is designed to be an indicator of an individual’s personal contribution to UK air pollution, and to show the most important activities and simple steps we can all take to reduce it. The calculator is a partnership between Global Action Plan and Imperial College London. The calculator estimates a person’s air pollution footprint resulting from their travel activities, heating & electricity consumption and deliveries activities. Using information on these it estimates a persons' emissions of NOₓ and PM2.5, which are two air pollutants that account for the majority of health impacts associated with air pollution in the UK
Clean Air planner - The Clean Air Planner was developed with the Met Office and the Clean Air Programme to provide a personalised action plan to help individuals understand the action that they can take.
