Why air pollution matters
The air we breathe is mixed with a variety of chemical and biological contaminants arising from a range of natural and anthropogenic activities. These include transport, power plants and household activities.
This cocktail of air contaminants and pollutants is vast, and the situation becomes even more complex when considering the path travelled as chemicals are released and dispersed into the urban environment.
The problem cannot be addressed by one single discipline. The programme's philosophy will be to provide expertise from a cohort of Sustainability Fellows interested in air pollution research and its application, support the development of ideas, and achieve what an individual cannot achieve independently.
