I'm at the #ILAMB meeting (International LAnd Model Benchmarking tool) in #NewOrleans for the next few days! The meeting place has a collection of brass horns salvaged from #HurricaneKatrina in 2005. #trombones #NewOrleansVisits

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

Inequalities and indoor air pollution: a prospective observational study of particulate matter (PM2.5) levels in 309 UK homes from the Born in Bradford cohort study - BMC Public Health
Particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Evidence suggests socioeconomic and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately exposed to higher outdoor air pollu...
