New Pollution Alert Service - AirTEXT
A new free service has just launched across London that sends text messages or e-mails with air pollution alerts and health advice.
AirTEXT sends a message when high air pollution levels are expected. Sent straight to a mobile phone, landline or computer, the message includes details of the alert and information about symptoms and health advice. The scheme is particularly valuable for people suffering from asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, heart disease or angina or people who care for someone who could be at risk from high levels of pollution. Register for free alerts to your home phone, mobile or email for warnings of local air pollution levels.
You can choose whether to receive your airTEXT alert on the evening before, or on the morning of a predicted high pollution day. You can also choose which part of London you wish to receive alerts.
AirTEXT via mobile phone
If you receive airTEXT alerts via your mobile phone you will get a text message with details of the alert and brief information about symptoms and health advice.
AirTEXT to your home phone
If you receive airTEXT alerts via your home phone it will ring as normal and you will hear a recorded message giving you the air pollution alert and further information about symptoms and health advice.
AirTEXT via email
You will receive the same air pollution alert, information about symptoms and health advice and you can choose whether to receive it on your work or home computer.
Whichever method you choose, AirTEXT is completely free of charge. Fur further details email airquality@lbhf.gov.uk or call 0208 753 3431 or visit the AirTEXT website on www.airtext.info to register.
