BreatheCleanAir is part of the Healthy Lungs for Life campaign, focusing on the importance of clean air for lung health.
It highlights the impact of air pollution on the lungs and encourages action at individual, community and policy level to reduce exposure and improve air quality. The theme is used across public engagement activities, educational resources and advocacy campaigns to support awareness and change.
Air quality has a direct impact on lung health for everyone. Both outdoor and indoor air pollution can affect how the lungs develop and function and contribute to the onset and worsening of lung disease.
Understanding where air pollution comes from, and how it affects the body, is an important step towards protecting lung health and reducing exposure in daily life.
Find trusted information on air quality and lung health from the European Lung Foundation (ELF), including translated materials. These resources explain how air pollution affects the lungs, who is most at risk and what practical steps can help reduce exposure and protect health.
