High pollution alert issued for London. Fog trapping fireworks / wood burning / exhaust emissions BUT: “some rain around midday .. should help to clear the stagnant conditions of the past few days that allowed for the build up of particulates from Guy Fawkes and Diwali” (LAQN)

Main episode occurred over the weekend into Monday - exactly 74 years after the GREAT SMOG. It's tailing off now and rain should clear the air later. Good summary below from @LondonAir

I don’t think this is well-judged
The world’s greatest fireworks show returns to the banks of the Thames this New Year’s Eve.

It’s time to ban fireworks here. Quite apart from the very serious effects it has on our dogs and cats, this sort of pollution is unacceptable. Ban it like it has been banned in the Netherlands.

CODE RED - Timely! Really enjoyed talking to @Tom___Scott about 20 years of clean air campaigning for GREEN HOUSE THINK TANK'S CHANGEMAKERS series (long read) << "Successive governments have DELIBERATELY failed to issue AIR QUALITY WARNINGS" greenhousethinktank.org/changemakers-s…

On the Mayoral pollution alert - the monitors show low levels (1/2) now compared to the weekend when there was a pollution episode (9/10) due to fireworks /wood burning. The salient point is why the alert wasn’t issued at the weekend? AQ campaigners want a national alert system.

Thanks @MayorofLondon. You may be the first in the UK to issue an air quality warning for this episode cc @andyburnham
I’m triggering a high air pollution alert for London on Tuesday 10 November.
I urge everyone in the capital, especially those most vulnerable, to stay safe and follow health advice to minimise their exposure.
Please switch off engines when idling and avoid burning garden waste, which contributes to pollution.

Hi @andyburnham you could save thousands of lives by giving @metoffice the job of issuing air quality warnings. They have the capabilities, are trusted and already lead on many other weather warnings. ✅. Defra has shown itself incapable for 15 years. One phone call or signature - let’s do it!

#Smog - It’s heatbreaking to hear more fireworks exploding on Sunday night into VERY HIGH (10/10) #AirPollution exactly 74 years after the #GreatSmog. Where is @andyburnham now? @metoffice should be given the job of warning people after Defra has failed for 15 years

20 years ago (3 Nov 2006) the Government issued a #smog warning for #BonfireNight. Why are there no #AirQuality warnings now? HT @BarryGardiner cc @andyburnham
