All children have the right to the best possible health. This includes  nutritious food, clean water and a clean environment.
Lots of people are worried about the quality of the air in London. There are lots of cars, lorries and buses which emit waste gas into our air. Some of these gases are very bad for or health.
At Hague we wanted to find out about the quality of the air around our school so we have installed a diffusion tube. This will measure the amount of Nitrogen Dioxide. Nitrogen Dioxide is a gas which can damage children’s lungs and airways.
Look out for the tube which will be in our playground for the next few weeks absorbing the Nitrogen Dioxide. After that we will send it off to a laboratory to find out how bad our air is.
What could you do to improve the quality of our air?
try:
- walking or cycling rather than using a car.
- planting more trees and bushes.
- save energy by turning off lights and appliance when you are not using them.
