Communicating the air: identifying better methods to support public engagement with air pollution to help minimise air pollution exposures
Air pollution is a public health emergency (Holgate, 2022), responsible for an estimated 8.1 million global premature deaths every year (Health Effects Institute, 2024). Read more
Investigating the Impact of Vehicle Emissions on Urban Air Quality and Mitigation Strategies (Ref: AACME-24-024)
Vehicular emissions are one of the leading sources of air pollution, particularly in urban areas. With rapid urbanization and increasing vehicular use, cities around the world face deteriorating air quality, contributing to adverse health effects and environmental degradation. Read more
(Bicentenary) Studies on the impacts of traffic-related air pollution on cardiovascular health of motorbike-taxi drivers in Indonesia
Air pollution is a major problem worldwide. Recent report suggested that around ~7 million deaths in 2019 were associated with air pollution, and almost 70% of them were due to cardiovascular diseases (World Heart Report, 2024). Read more
(Bicentenary) Understanding links between inequalities in air pollution exposures and adverse pregnancy outcomes; a data-exploration within the RESPIRE-I cohort.
This exciting project addresses key (inter)national and local governmental and healthcare priorities in understanding why Black and Asian UK mothers and their babies disproportionately experience adverse outcomes in pregnancy including higher mortality rates. Read more
Towards a better understanding of indoor air quality in the home
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently stated that exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution was one of the greatest risks to human health, and that improving air quality was necessary to reduce the global incidence and impact of diseases such as lung cancer, stroke, and asthma. Read more
Emissions and air quality impacts from use of aggressive surface cleaners indoors
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
University of Bath URSA Project: The impact of natural construction materials on indoor air quality and human health
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Controlling Particles, VOC and their Oxidation: Smart Demand Controlled Ventilation for Indoor Environmental Quality and Energy Efficiency
This PhD project is dedicated to advancing smart demand controlled ventilation systems in response to advances in understanding of indoor air chemistry and the transformative potential of smart technologies in building ventilation. Read more
The impact of home retrofitting on indoor air quality (C3.5-MAC-Vouriot)
Air pollution, primarily caused by particulate matter (PM), is now the second largest risk factor for deaths around the globe (State of global air 2024). Read more
Understanding air pollution in a warming world
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. Read more
Factors controlling near-road exposure to traffic-related air pollutants
For decades, road vehicles have had a considerable impact on urban air pollution and the wider environment. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Assessing the role of upland fires in air pollution and public health in the UK
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Reduced nitrogen in the atmosphere – how changes in agriculture and energy supply could future impact air quality and ecosystems
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
Resilience of Urban Socio-ecological System to Air Pollution (RUSSAP) in the UK
The Leverhulme PhD Programme for Interdisciplinary Resilience Studies is administered by the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences. Read more
Investigating molecular determinants of cellular fate driven by air pollutants
Air pollution is a critical global issue with severe consequences for the environment, economy, and human health. 99% of the world’s population lives in areas where air pollution exceeds WHO guidelines, leading to accelerated ageing, increased mortality, and decreased health span [1,2,3]. .
