air Alert Service
The Sussex Air Quality Partnership established and manages the service with specialist support from partners in health information, research and technical support for the airAlert message service.

Limitations of the forecasting system and liability for your health

The air pollution forecasts and health advice provided on the airAlert.info website is purely indicative.

Service provision
Imperial College London will endeavor to provide air pollution forecasts and alerts on the days and at the times chosen by users, but accepts no legal liability for failure to provide these forecasts and alerts nor the consequences of any actions you may take arising from such failure.
