Three new projects funded by UKRI’s Clean Air Strategic Priorities Fund

The UKRI have announced three new research projects that will investigate how air pollutants in indoor spaces can adversely affect the health of the people inhabiting them. The indoor spaces being investigated include homes, schools and workplaces.

The projects aim to better understand how the composition, concentration and exposures of air pollutants affect children with asthma and people living in urban homes. A third project will build a platform to identify the worst pollutants and establish their link with neurological disease.

The three projects are:

Air pollution hazard identification platform. PI Professor Gordon McFiggans, The University of Manchester.

West London healthy home and environment study (WellHome). PI Professor Frank Kelly, Imperial College London.

Ingenious: Understanding the sources, transformations and fates of indoor air pollutants. PI Professor Nicola Carslaw, University of York.
