UKRI Stories | How does air pollution affect our health? @UKResearchandInnovation | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
How does air pollution affect the health of people living in cities? The INHALE team at @imperialcollegevideo is conducting sophisticated research to assess the impact of air pollution on personal health in urban environments.
They're collecting data that shows how pollution travels around cities, and the impact of plants and trees on air pollution. Their work could feed into improvements to ventilation on underground rail systems, and in schools and workplaces.
The project is part of UKRI’s Physics of Life programme, which brings physicists and life scientists together to transform our understanding of living systems and medical science challenges.
Collaborations like these require scientists to understand each others’ language and concepts, which takes time- but it can empower researchers to look at scientific challenges in new way.

Nine new Physics of Life projects have also been announced: ukri.org/news/using-physics-to-transform-our-understanding-of-life/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=pol
The Physics of Life project ‘Health assessment across biological length scales for personal pollution exposure and its mitigation (INHALE)’ is a collaboration between Imperial College London, the @universityofsurrey and the @EdinburghUniversity. This multidisciplinary research project, led by Professor Christopher Pain and Professor Fan Chung, will develop a physics based, multi-scale approach across biological length scales from the cell, lung, and person up to the neighbourhood scale.
