The Westminster town hall has launched a three-month pilot program to track and reduce cooking-related emissions, which are significant contributors to PM2.5 pollution. This initiative is being offered at no cost to participating restaurants. Apricity in Mayfair is one of the establishments involved, where the Head Chef hopes that the data collected will reveal peak emission times and underlying causes. Local officials emphasize the importance of this pilot in addressing air quality concerns in the hospitality industry, aiming for awareness and collaboration towards a greener future.
Long-term exposure has been linked to serious health conditions such as heart disease, respiratory illnesses, and even cognitive decline.
We want this pilot to raise awareness of air quality issues within the industry, and I hope it encourages other businesses to sign up to participate in the trial.
This data will allow us to see when there's a peak, what caused that peak and what we can do to try and remedy it.
The hospitality sector is working diligently to meet its 2040 net zero goal, with businesses committed to tackling emissions and reducing their carbon footprints.
