Emissions from building materials, furnishings, plants, pets and from occupant activities such as cooking and cleaning, all contribute to poor air quality indoors. Read more
The aim of this project is to determine what impact higher average temperatures and extreme temperature events will have on concentrations of volatile organic compounds in cities and how these might lead to future changes in UK urban air quality through increased ozone and particulate matter formation.

Reduced nitrogen is used extensively as a fertilizer. It is applied either as ammonium or urea, which is rapidly hydrolysed biologically by naturally… Read more
Aviation fuel conventionally derives from crude oil-based kerosene (Jet), however there is critical global need to enhance the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges. Read more
Large scale biomass burning events, including wildfires, agricultural burn-off and residential fuel combustion release large quantities of organic carbon to the atmosphere. Read more
Background. Ammonia (NH3) has an ever-growing influence on air pollution in the UK and worldwide with numerous considerable impacts such as the formation of secondary particles and nitrogen deposition. Read more
We are looking for a motivated PhD candidate to investigate the drivers of sea-to-air fluxes of the twin climate-cooling gases methanethiol (MeSH) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS). Read more
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship starting in Autumn 2025 as part of the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science. Project description. Read more
Free radical reactions and redox processes are ubiquitous in nature and indeed fundamental to life. These radicals are present in the air we breath, the food and drinks we consume, and in the many substances we use on a daily basis. Read more
Atmospheric aerosols are one of the greatest threats to human health, and present one of the largest uncertainty in understanding and predicting our climate. Read more
Primary supervisor - Professor Thomas Bell. The oceans release huge quantities of the gas dimethylsulfide (DMS) and this contributes to the formation and growth of atmospheric particles and clouds, reflecting solar radiation. Read more
