The Air We Breathe: Business’s Most Overlooked Health Crisis. Our CEO recently joined The Responsible Edge podcast to discuss why air pollution matters to business and how to reframe sustainability as a public health imperative.

When we step outside on a summer afternoon, we can often feel the dense, stifling quality of the air. In winter, the stillness can feel even thicker, making us feel like we’re choking on air. Most of us assume that air pollution is at its worst on scorching days, but in reality, extreme temperatures, whether high or low, greatly shape the air around us. So, how do hot and cold temperatures influence air pollution levels, and what does it mean for our health?

On World Environment Day, we investigate the links between plastic and air pollution. When we think of plastic pollution, we often imagine oceans and landfills, but plastic is in the air too. As plastics break down, they release microplastics into the environment, which can travel thousands of kilometres through the air - from cities to mountaintops. Recent studies show that the average person could inhale 16.2 bits of plastic per hour, which is equivalent to a credit card in plastic each week.

Every day, we breathe in air pollutants that slip past our body’s defences and enter the bloodstream. While air pollution is commonly linked to respiratory issues, its impact extends far beyond the lungs. Prolonged exposure to pollutants significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and life-threatening cardiovascular diseases. Tiny particles travel deep into the bloodstream, moving from the lungs to the heart, where they contribute to heart and circulatory diseases.
