Air quality project for children with asthma

We’re working on providing free air quality sensors and resources for classrooms and homes of pupils with asthma. 

These will:

• show the quality of air they breathe daily in real time
• increase awareness of the sources of emissions at home and school
• improve understanding of what changes can reduce harmful emissions

There is no cost to the school or pupil for taking part in this project.

Project Details 

Objective

The project entails a 3-month air quality monitoring period in classrooms and at home. This will provide a comprehensive understanding of the environments that affect children's health.

Who can take part

The project is aimed at children in Year 6 or older, diagnosed with asthma or showing symptoms of asthma. Participants must attend a school within the London Borough of Southwark.

We have a priority list of schools that we are focusing on for this project.

Register your interest

If your child's school is not on the priority list, you can still register your interest, and we will place your name on a waiting list.
