Our motivation
The World Health Organisation (WHO) identified that around 99% of the world’s population lives in air quality below their accepted limits (WHO, 2019).
There is no safe level of air pollution.
Air pollution is one of the most severe global health risks, and the majority of the burden is borne by low- and middle-income populations.
Transport related air pollution is particularly severe in urban areas due to a higher concentration of vehicles producing tailpipe emissions at ground level.
This has a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of communities. Children are the most vulnerable to combustion fumes, breathing 2-3 times more air pollution than adults, at a height where tailpipe pollutants are most concentrated.*
Immunocompromised and elderly populations are also significantly impacted by air pollutants derived from the combustion of fossil fuels which inflame airways and exacerbate conditions such as asthma, respiratory diseases and heart conditions.
We’re on a mission to change this for the benefit of people and planet all over the world.
