I love working with this team! ❤️In all the hard work, planning, passion for the cause there’s always laughter 😄
Behind the scenes moments are hilarious.Traffic, curious pedestrians, & road works forced #ScienceIn5 team to stop the recording & start all over again and again.. Thank you Nick & Riaan @RooftopVideo for teaching us how better to shoot the video using our smart phones.
🚨If you live in New Delhi, Lahore, Dhaka and other cities where #AirPollution has reached alarming levels here’s what you need to know about symptoms, treatment & prevention of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) 🩻 #ScienceIn5 ⬇️
If you are experiencing breathlessness, fatigue and are exposed to polluted air you could have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Dr Sarah Rylance explains the symptoms, treatment and prevention of COPD. Find out if you are more susceptible to COPD in Science in 5
Delhi metro @dmrc and bus fares need to be slashed as PM2.5 increases. Graph👇🏾to give an idea. @ravishndtv also mentioned recently. #AirPollution fares @DPCC_pollution @AtishiAAP x.com/cbhattacharji/… youtu.be/tDAavaJN47E?si…
People urged @OfficialDMRC to give #CleanAirConcessions to metro riders during periods of 'severe' air pollution as Delhi-NCR. Given the higher #PublicTransportation cost, Rs 47/km than private cars Rs35/km commuting cost, a concession in the metro reduces dependency on cars.

"There's nothing complicated about the fact that children in Lebanon deserve protection, and they're getting none," reminds UNICEF Spokesperson @1james_elder Ceasefire for the children of Lebanon NOW.
Do you still have difficulties to understand how climate change and pollution are affecting our health? Have a look. Delhi Pollution live updates: Supreme Court begins to hear plea on toxic air. @WHO #COP29Baku #Breathelife hindustantimes.com/india-news/del…
India: 🇮🇳 Delhi closes schools, bans construction as air pollution worsens. Residents of New Delhi woke up to thick, toxic smog enveloping the city of some 33 million as the air quality became increasingly hazardous. #COP29 #Breathelife @WHO apnews.com/article/new-de…
Last week we learned that smoking costs the NHS £2,000,000,000. How much more does air pollution cost the NHS as it’s linked to all non communicable diseases? @wesstreeting
Gentle Reminder: Thermal power plants cause 240x more air pollution than stubble burning, as per @CREACleanAir As the world’s largest SO₂ emitter, India’s coal dependence severely impacts air quality & public health. Hope the transition to #CleanEnergy solutions is urgent and…
Forget AQI. Monitoring PM2.5 is vital to protect your health. Here’s what 500-600-700 micrograms of PM2.5 #AirPollution just now looks like Day’s avg is 15 as per WHO’s guidelines. So Delhi’s pollution ~40 times above safe limits.
The price of air pollution is paid by our lungs 🫁 #ClimateChange
🚨‼️⬇️
⛔️ Delhi #airpollution: is likely to be far worse than avg usually reported. See charts 👇🏾 Avg PM 2.5 is < 300 micrograms, but some neighbourhoods (like mine) are > 500! On this @CPCB_OFFICIAL says averaging is not scientifically sound
Geneva Today, the Health Security Preparedness Department #HSP teams sharpened their skills with a powerful @WHO communications training! 🎤 Knowing how we communicate is just as important as what we say. Thanks to @gabbystern, @VismitaG, @Christian @chrislindmeier @Nyka_eh and…
Well said, @UN! A healthy environment directly influences our well-being, and we must prioritize sustainable practices that benefit both people and nature. Let's unite for a healthier, more resilient future for all! #COP29 x.com/UN/status/1845…
🌳 The air we breathe. 🍎 The food we eat. 💧 The water we drink. 🌇 The environment we live in. All of these factors impact human health. To ensure #HealthForAll, we must first protect nature and safeguard our one and only planet. 🌎via @WHO
This is what hate does to you. You lose your ability to think critically and harm yourself. Air pollution affects almost every part of your body and is slowly killing you and your loved ones ⬇️
Morning walk. Stopped a young father bursting crackers with his kids asked if he knew crackers contributed to worsening air quality in Mumbai. His reply: can you stop Muslims from doing Namaaz five times a day? I am allowed to burst crackers once a year. I asked again, are you…
We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow…
#Polio vaccination in northern #Gaza is ready to resume tomorrow. We are assured of the necessary humanitarian pause in Gaza City to conduct the campaign. Unfortunately, the area covered is substantially reduced compared to the first round of vaccination, which will leave some…
Yet, 99% infrastructure is built only for 8% people that own cars!
Transport (mostly pvt vehicles) cause about half of the particulate matter air pollution in Delhi - IE indianexpress.com/article/cities…
