Well done Angela, @JoGriffin2 @maeveshearlaw/ @CASHcampaigners for putting this project on your shoulders/getting it through to a wide audience.

THREAD: air pollution x injustice x health

1. What is happening in Southall is environmental injustice. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/aug/27/londoners-claim-toxic-air-from-gasworks-damaging-their-health

2. Southall is an acute example of race x class x health converging to create poor health outcomes. Their case sadly is not unique and there are hundreds of communities fighting for clean, being gaslit, and forced to live in toxic environments.

3. Public Health England has denied a connection between the site and their health - @TheCentricLab contested the holes in their data study.

We also put forward that there is no such thing as a "safe" level of air pollution.

4. the failure of public health england is not accepting, listening or validating the experiences of ill health clearly being suffered in this community.
5. even we follow their logic - they cannot say w/100% certainty the community is safe - so why not err on the side of caution

6. we cannot let councils and public health agencies hide behind data to negate the lived experience of people. This is why Centric does the work we do- concentrating on the stress response we can understand things/explain phenomena that mere datasets cannot.

7. we cover all the details of the phenomena linking the toxic air from the construction works to the poor health outcomes of Southall. https://www.thecentriclab.com/air-pollution-health-in-southall-london

8. it's important for everyone in UK to listen to documentary/story, bc this gov has said Build, build, build - this will have air pollution consequences.
9. Health justice is social justice.
10. please retweet this thread public pressure is needed
