Moms Clean Air Force and EcoMadres join the "Clean Air, Healthy Lives" campaign.
This new partnership strengthens the initiative's impact in the United States and Latin America, expanding its reach to millions of people affected by air pollution.
Moms Clean Air Force, based in Washington, DC, is a leading American organization that mobilizes more than 1,6 million mothers, fathers, and caregivers in the fight against air pollution and climate change, in defense of children's health. Its program EcoMothers, focused on Latino communities in the U.S., promotes environmental justice through citizen empowerment and community action.
Your support for the global campaign Global Campaign"This represents a key milestone, bringing the message of preventative respiratory health to diverse communities, especially those most vulnerable to pollution, such as those living near highways, industrial areas, or those experiencing forest fires.
Thanks to this collaboration, the campaign will be able to have a stronger impact on local communities, both in major cities in the United States and in Latin American countries where air conditions remain a constant threat to public health.
“Latino communities in the U.S. are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis and air pollution. From toxic pollution from highways and industries to the growing threat of wildfires exacerbated by global warming, our families—and especially our children—are suffering the consequences.” expressed Liz Hurtado, National Manager of EcoMadres. “That's why we're proud to join this campaign: to inform, mobilize, and empower our communities.”
A call to global action
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), exposure to polluted air is one of the most serious environmental threats to human health today. This threat results in more than 7 million premature deaths each year and 99% of the world's population breathing unsafe air.
In parallel, The situation is contributing to the increase in chronic respiratory diseases, heart disease, infections, and cancer, a situation that disproportionately affects low-income communities and communities of color, which are often located near highways, industrial areas, and petrochemical facilities.
These findings call for immediate global action to reduce pollution, but they also highlight the need to provide tools to detect respiratory illnesses early, especially in communities most affected by toxic air.
That is why the Lovexair Foundation launched, in May 2025, the global campaign “Global Campaign” and its online tool Check@ir to raise awareness about the impact of pollution, along with other risk factors, on citizens' respiratory health.
The campaign encourages people of all ages - whether or not they have a previous diagnosis - to complete the questionnaire. Check@ir, available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. In just three minutes, anyone can get a basic report on their lung health to share with their doctor and a health guide to protect their lungs from pollution. With their anonymous data, they also contribute to the development of the Global Lung Health Map., which will map the respiratory health status of the entire participating population, allowing for the guidance of public policies, community actions, and clinical decisions based on real data.
