<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>In one of the schools in Warsaw, there is a big red dot on a board next
to the entrance. It tells the kids whether they can play outdoors. On many days
they don’t: the air is so polluted that playing outside is too much of a health
risk. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Air pollution causes asthma, childhood cancers, and chronic diseases in
children. [1] And it leads to <STRONG>hundreds of thousands of deaths in Europe
every year.</STRONG> [2] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>The EU has standards for air quality that are meant to protect us. But
because they aren’t 100% based on science, the alarm levels are set far too
high. [2] <STRONG>This makes us think our air is clean when it is not.
</STRONG></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>Next week, the EU Parliament will discuss how to review air
quality standards. </STRONG>And whatever they decide could be a serious
game-changer for the air we breathe. [3] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Before the vote, <STRONG>MEPs who don’t know about the issue will have
to learn about it, and those on the fence will need convincing.</STRONG> To do
it, we have to put our names together to show how many Europeans care about the
air they breathe. <STRONG>Add yours now! </STRONG></BIG></P>

<P><BIG><STRONG>It is really simple: if the air is polluted, it is not safe.
</STRONG>[4] But over a decade ago, the alarm levels of pollution were set much
higher than suggested by science. So ‘officially’ most people in Europe are
breathing acceptable air, and politicians don’t have to do anything to protect
our health. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>However, if we use the World Health Organisation’s definition of clean
air, the picture changes abruptly: <STRONG>75% of people living in cities across
the EU breathe health-threatening air. </STRONG>[5] We have to show the EU
Parliament and the politicians in all EU institutions that we know about the air
we breathe and that we won't turn a blind eye to it. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Right now, we have a chance to let all children breathe safely.
<STRONG>We can make our cities green and our air fresh.</STRONG> Sign and ask
the EU for better air quality in Europe.</BIG></P>

About 4% of the EU-28 urban population was exposed to health-harming levels of
PM 2.5 (particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less) above the EU limit
value in 2018. However, checked against WHO air quality guidelines for PM2.5,
the share increases to
