Monitor kerbside air-quality on roads close to schools
Make it a legal requirement that a device to continuously monitor air-borne fine particle pollutants is installed at the kerbside of roads close to our schools.
Why is this important?
Recent research has established direct links between traffic derived air-pollution and impact on human health. Nobody benefits when the only air for breathing contains sooty particles -but young children are especially vulnerable. Its a fact that impaired lung-development, respiratory disease and reduced life expectancy are all a consequence of regular exposure to traffic fumes. Now its time to acurately measure just what is in the air around Welsh schools.
