Air

Air pollution affects the entire population. The levels of pollutants found in the atmosphere are linked to health risks, and any reduction in exposure to these pollutants would be beneficial.

Our missions

  • Inform public authorities, healthcare professionals, and the general public about the health impacts of air pollution
