‘An idling engine burns fuel without moving, which wastes petrol and increases wear and tear on the engine. To avoid unnecessary fuel consumption, it's recommended to turn off the engine during prolonged stops’ - no mention of the toxic air pollution 🚗💨🚙💨

Behind all the articles, studies, research and media conversations are real people, struggling to breathe.

Removing diesel from our roads would be life changing. We are calling on London's local authorities to phase out diesel vehicles by 2030. #DitchDiesel #AirPollution

40% of London’s harmful nitrogen oxide emissions are emitted by diesel vehicles. Removing diesel from our roads would be life changing for today’s children - the #DieselGeneration 😞. We are calling for London to phase out diesel vehicles by 2030. #DitchDiesel #AirPollution

Diesel exhaust was classified as carcinogenic to humans in 2012. London’s children are breathing it in every day, from the 535k diesel cars still on our roads. Today we set up London's first diesel #AirPollution ward, because we want all levels of government to #DitchDiesel . 📷

This map shows nitrogen dioxide levels at monitoring sites in London in 2022.

Anything yellow, orange, red or dark red shows levels above the WHO guidelines....yes, that's the whole of London.

Diesel needs to go! #DitchDiesel #EndOfDiesel

The world’s first diesel pollution ward has been unveiled, shining a light on the 2,800 children and young people admitted to hospital with asthma in #London each year 🏥 🫁

It’s time to #DitchDiesel ! Mums For Lungs

#ULEZ breaking: The number of diesel cars first registered in London collapsed again in 2022 to 5,386 (down from 69,000 in 2015 and 2016 and 7,595 in 2021). In a city of 9 million people! #BanDiesel #DitchDiesel #yes2ulez whatdotheyknow.com/request/diesel…

Diesel vehicles are one of the biggest contributors to #AirPollution , which costs the NHS an estimated £20 billion a year.

We need to #DitchDiesel first and fastest to protect the next generation from its devastating impacts 🏥 🫁 @mumsforlungs

❗ Did you know, children in London are at increased risk of developing lifelong health conditions from the air they breathe?

We must #DitchDiesel to protect the next generation.

We're looking again at Professor Chris Whitty's 2022 #AirPollution report and noting how much diesel contributes to the nitrogen oxides we are breathing across England. Diesel needs to go. #DitchDiesel assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6389ee85…

Pleased to lend Clean Cities support to Mums For Lungs today at the launch of a new Diesel Pollution Ward for children. It's unacceptable that children in London are forced to breathe dirty air; we need urgent action from all levels of govt to help #DitchDiesel for good! 🚙💨 😷
