<p>Public Health England (PHE) raises public awareness of the impacts of carbon monoxide
(CO) pollution by supporting activities that aim to change behaviour, such as the
annual Clean Air Day. PHE is also working with health partners for example, the National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence to improve the evidence on the health impacts
of poor indoor air quality which will enhance advice to the public.</p><p> </p><p>PHE
promotes awareness about CO through the use of blog posts, press releases and social
media updates. PHE produces a number of materials, which are issued over the winter
period, and provide information on, and warnings of the dangers of CO poisoning to
help prevent potential injury or death. This includes the Cold Weather Plan, updated
in October 2018. This is shared and promoted through all channels including all local
authorities and National Health Service organisations and can be viewed at the following
