Local policies and interventions to reduce a city’s carbon footprint using plant-based diets: Bristol as a case study (2025)
Journal Article

Net zero strategies are needed to mitigate the effects of the climate emergency. Food systems are responsible for one third of global GhG emissions. This study explores policies and interventions that can be applied at a local level to decarbonise th...

Determining the effectiveness of interventions for the reduction of child exposure to traffic-related air pollution at schools in England (2024)
Journal Article

Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is a significant risk to human health and is particularly damaging to children as a vulnerable group. TRAP exposure near schools and on the school commute is linked to a growing number of adverse health effects, i...

Mitigating child exposure to traffic-related air pollution on the school commute: Views of parents and teachers in England (2024)
Journal Article

Children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse health effects of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) due to their developing physiologies. A survey was distributed to schools in England for completion by parents and teachers. The survey examine...

From raising awareness to a behavioural change: A case study of indoor air quality improvement using IoT and COM-B model (2023)
Journal Article

The topic of indoor air pollution has yet to receive the same level of attention as ambient pollution. We spend considerable time indoors, and poorer indoor air quality affects most of us, particularly people with respiratory and other health conditi...

Modeling setup for assessing the impact of stakeholders and policy scenarios on air quality at urban scale (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

ClairCity, a project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, developed an innovative quantification framework aiming to assess environmental, health and economic impacts. The quantification framework consists of (i) an integr... Read More about Modeling setup for assessing the impact of stakeholders and policy scenarios on air quality at urban scale.

Unprecedented reduction in air pollution and corresponding short-term premature mortality associated with COVID-19 lockdown in Delhi, India (2021)
Journal Article

Countries around the world introduced strict restrictions on movement and activities known as ‘lockdowns’ to restrict the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from the end of 2019. A sudden improvement in air quality was observed global...

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...
