Air quality in the media

Jo Barnes has been invited to participate in interviews on BBC Radio Bristol's Breakfast programme and with ITV and BBC News tomorrow morning. The interviews are linked to the 'Smogmobile' which will be making a trip to Bristol tomorrow. In previous journeys the Smogmobile has demonstrated that air pollution levels within vehicles can be as high or even higher than those measured outside. This, together with the findings from the report from the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health released last week, encouraging walking and cycling to reduce air pollution, help to highlight the need to reduce our reliance on cars, not only to reduce emissions but also to reduce our personal exposure to pollution.

Jo interviewed on BBC Radio Bristol

Jo was interviewed alongside Julie Girling MEP on BBC Radio Bristol on 18th June. Topics included the visit of Karmenu Vella, the EU Commissioner for the Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries to the Bristol-Bath region, sources of air pollution in the area and some strategies for reducing air pollution.
