these associations are great - but noone thinks itll be them.
just like (almost) everyone i talk to tells me that their air is not dirty!
i think we need to think of new ways of talking about this.
all the (ongoing) covid misinformation has meant so many more ppl think 'official' numbers are lies/ conspiracy etc - and/or that we're powerless to do anything about. i think: 1. start with indoor air pollution 2. make much more fuss abut commercial properties (in camden its 40%ish of nox and pm) 3. go for woodburning : small number of elite cause more than vehicles!
I think that's one of the great challenges: with things like air pollution where the effects are pernicious and especially when the biggest cause (road transport) is a big part of most people's lives, how to drive change? Not sure what the right answer is quite yet!

Most people affected by this will be totally ignorant of NO2 and PMs and the effects on them. How can you plan to get this more widely publicised?
