In October 2021, we brought Climate Canopy - an immersive representation of climate change - to COP26 in Glasgow.

By bringing art and science together, Climate Canopy acknowledged that climate change is not only a scientific problem but a human problem 💙

Really proud of this paper. Over the course of a year, we sampled PM2.5 in >300 houses in Bradford. This work package was led by myself and @profrosiemc.bsky.social and involved a dedicated team of atmospheric and health researchers

The science is clear: to tackle climate change, we need to minimise our environmental impacts as soon as we can.

British household indoor PM2.5 concentrations were nearly twice as high in the highest depravity houses compared to the least. Ethnicity, renting/owning, smoking, detached/attached, electric/gas cooking all impacted measured PM2.5 concentrations.

Poor indoor air quality is linked to serious health problems, and the burden of these impacts is not evenly shared.

NCAS researcher, Dr Amber Yeoman, shares how Awaab’s Law could transform indoor air quality in UK homes:

Who controls the air we breathe at home? Awaab’s law and the limits of individual actions
The ability to improve air quality in your home depends less on personal behaviour and more on who owns the building.
