The support of the medical and scientific community

For decades now scientific studies have been demonstrating that breathing polluted air harms
our present and future health. Expert opinions have been warning us not to underestimate the
dangers of pollution.

Our health is at stake, and all the more so for the most vulnerable. We cannot keep our
pollution levels above the recommended limits. Let’s raise our voices for everyone’s health.
