| | EO News: Something in the Air? Service Warns Asthma Sufferers by Phone - January 5, 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | We all wonder what is in the air for 2006—but for people with asthma and other breathing problems, advance knowledge of air pollution levels is very important. |
 | | The YourAir service resolves air pollution down to the scale of individual streets—highest levels are often found along routes with heavy traffic or other pollution sources, so information on street-by-street changes in pollution help vulnerable people make informed choices about their movements. |
 | | The prototype service covers Central London and Croydon in South London, which is one of the city’s largest boroughs by area and the largest by population, with 330,000 inhabitants. |
