Curious about how our project volunteers monitor air pollution at home? Using a nitrogen dioxide diffusion tube may sound complex, but it is actually very simple!

Check out our short video, specially made for We Care for Our Air Redbridge volunteers, to learn the process.

Plenty of tubes are still up for grabs for residents in Redbridge. Just drop us an email at [email protected] if you are interested in monitoring pollution levels near your home, workplace or community group.

A lovely summer’s day yesterday at Mayespark Primary School Fayre where we collected some more monitoring points for our We Care for Our Air Redbridge air quality map.

Did you know that air pollution isn't just caused by cars? Burning BBQs also release harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and tiny solid particles. That's why it's important we consider a wide range of factors to get a complete picture of air quality in the borough.

If you're curious about the air quality of specific places in Redbridge, don't miss out on our last workshop of this series! Join us this afternoon from 3:45 to 4:45 at Newbury Park Primary School.
