10 March: Help improve air quality in Cornwall

Air quality is generally pretty good in Cornwall. But there are certain 'hotspots' which fail to meet national air quality objectives.

We can all take steps to improve air quality, even small changes contribute to making a difference if enough of us make a change.

One way is to turn off your car engine if parked or stuck in traffic.

It is better for the environment, fuel economy and health to switch off your engine and re-start it after a minute or longer, than it is to leave it running.
