Eight NI primary schools are asking parents to make a pledge they will stop idling their cars and stop poisoning their children in the morning and at home time.
A study by Unicef UK and Queen Mary University of London proved a child’s exposure to pollution is significantly higher during school time, more than at any other time during the course of their daily lives. Pupils roughly live 40 percent of the school week at school but receive 60 percent of their exposure to black particles of carbon between leaving for school and returning home.
Car idling causes worse emissions than driving. When a car is driving the engine heats up faster and the catalytic converter becomes more efficient at reducing emissions.
Hang on. The schools can’t afford pens and pencils after being closed for 2 years while parents educated their kids at home while working - but they’re going with this? Unbelievable NONSENSE 😡LisburnStar allianceparty
