Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research (2023)
Journal Article

Microplastics are ubiquitous in our environment but their presence in air is less well understood. Homes are likely a key source of airborne microplastics and microfibres to the environment owing to the frequent use and storage of plastics and textil...

Deep learning-based multi-target regression for traffic-related air pollution forecasting (2023)
Journal Article

Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) remains one of the main contributors to urban pollution and its impact on climate change cannot be overemphasised. Experts in developed countries strive to make optimal use of traffic and air qua... Read More about Deep learning-based multi-target regression for traffic-related air pollution forecasting.

Assessing the impacts of citizen-led policies on emissions, air quality and health (2021)
Journal Article

Air pollution is a global challenge, and especially urban areas are particularly affected by acute episodes. Traditional approaches used to mitigate air pollution primarily consider the technical aspects of the problem but not the role of citizen beh...

Applying social learning to climate communications- visualising 'people like me' in air pollution and climate change data (2021)
Journal Article

Technological approaches to carbon emission and air pollution data modelling consider where the issues are located and what is creating emissions. This paper argues that more focus should be paid to people-the drivers of vehicles or households burnin...
