Description

Around 40,000 deaths each year, in the UK, are attributable to outdoor
air pollution, including over 100 in Ipswich. The economic cost of outdoor
air pollution is around £20 billion a year. Despite emissions from motor
vehicles falling by 12% from 2012 to 2016 Britain remains in breach of
European limits for nitrogen oxides in 16 cities. This talk by Professor Ian
Colbeck from the School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, will
talk about the history of Air Quality, consider ways cities around the world
are tackling air pollution. It will also address such questions as: Can air
pollution negate the health benefits of cycling and walking? Are shampoos and
deodorant a bigger source of air pollution than vehicle exhausts? Do trees
really help clean the air in our cities? |
