New educational air pollution website launched today by AEA in partnership with the Scottish Government
In partnership with the Scottish Government and GLOW, Scotland's online education community, AEA has created a new educational website to help children aged between 8 and 11 years old to understand the causes and effects of air pollution.
The website features two characters - Maggie and Rabbie, the Air Pollution detectives - who take the children on an interactive and engaging journey to investigate what makes their air polluted. The attractively designed site features downloadable worksheets to continue learning offline, links to related websites, sound effects, audio ‘read-a- along' webpages and quizzes.
Scottish school children were integral to the development of the site; helping choose character names and also providing the voices for the audio throughout.

The children's website enhances the wider Air Quality Scotland website (www.scottishairquality.co.uk) developed and maintained by AEA, on behalf of the Scottish Government.
