Pollution is a new Colchester-wide campaign encouraging drivers to switch off
their engines while they wait at traffic lights, level crossings or outside
schools to reduce air pollution. Scientific research shows that air pollution
inside a car with the engine running is up to seven times higher than the air
pollution outside the car. There is strong evidence that links air pollution to
heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease and lung cancer. Switching off your
car engine is a simple action that brings health benefits to everyone inside
the car. For fascinating Fact vs Fiction and FAQs see the documents we have
attached to this week’s newsletter. For more information and to get involved: www.colchester.gov.uk/cleanair. |
