During September the Healthy Lungs for Life campaign will be running free events at various locations in London.  Visitors to the Healthy Lungs for Life "bubble" will be offered free tests of lung function (spirometry), advice on lung health and how to protect against air pollution, and a chance to take part in an interactive game.

The main organisations behind the campaign, which is Europe-wide, are the European Respiratory Society and the European Lung Foundation.

On Monday 5 September the campaign is running a Meet the Experts evening for the general public and for people with lung conditions.
