“Some 92% of the population live in places where air pollution exceeds WHO limits…”
“The air above a big part of The Netherlands is the most polluted of Europe, especially above the Randstad (Rotterdam).”
“Factories and vehicles like cars or airplanes, contribute to air pollution. That’s because the energy, comes from burning fuel, which results into lots of “fine dust” in the air. Fine dust consists of nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide, which get stuck in your lungs and results in a bad condition.”

Today there are more anti-pollution products on offer than ever. This is easily evident from a quick search on Sephora.com that generates 185 results from the word "pollution" -- brands range from REN, Laneige and Clarins. While most brands may be using the term "anti-pollution" to promote skin health, the same products would also inadvertently aid in warding off signs of ageing too
Pigeons who fight air pollution.
Wearing tiny backpacks with pollution sensors
The nice HR team at Plume Labs takes very good care of us. Our backpacks are as light as a feather, and a vet’s on hand to double check we’re safe and sound. So don’t worry, we love flying, we’re pigeons after all
Adem in Rotterdam
Schone lucht voor alle Rotterdammers
Rotterdam is de vuilste stad van Nederland. De luchtkwaliteit is zo slecht dat onderzoek aantoont dat inwoners maar liefst 3 jaar korter leven! Uitlaatgassen zijn voor 80% hiervan de oorzaak.
Adem in Rotterdam is het initiatief van een groeiend aantal bezorgde bewoners. Wij zijn het zat dat er in deze stad al decennia gepraat wordt over schone lucht, terwijl het verkeer en de vervuiling overal in de stad alleen maar toeneemt.
Wij zijn trots op onze stad. Rotterdam is volop in ontwikkeling en wij gaan hier graag in mee. Een groot deel van onze renners woont ook in Rotterdam. Logisch dus dat onze vereniging Rotterdam ”ademt”. Daarom willen wij Rotterdam helpen ontwikkelen. Denk aan het organiseren van evenementen in en rondom Rotterdam, het meedenken over hoe we Rotterdam fitter, gezonder en fietsvriendelijker kunnen maken en de
breedte-(top)sport in Rotterdam en omgeving helpen ontwikkelen.
