Many Asian cities are beset by smogs. Although our air is much cleaner, the recent VW diesel engines scandal has highlighted the pollution that we are exposed to in the UK.
Dr James Lee conducts research on atmospheric pollution at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science in the University of York. He will speak about past and present air pollution in the UK, covering the key air pollutants and their effects on human health. He will also discuss how his research is improving our knowledge of current air pollution issues and how this will lead to future strategies for providing cleaner air.
Dr Lee's research was recently quoted by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-33970233
