TAPAS Collab Funds Three Projects

 Our TAPAS Collaboration Building Workshop (#TAPASCollab) has resulted in the funding of three exciting new school-facing research projects focused on improving air quality at school. The workshop ran from September 9-24 2021, and saw 24 participants and 9 mentors across sectors and disciplines, come together to develop innovative projects which will engage pupils and teachers in improving air quality. Watch this space for more information on the selected projects and the teams behind them...

A quarter of pupils in the UK attend schools where air pollution is over the WHO limit

Our TAPAS colleagues at Global Action Plan estimate that 3.4 million children learn in an unhealthy environment.  


 “Schools should be safe places of learning, not places where students are at risk of health hazards,” said Dr Maria Neira, director at the World Health Organization. “These figures are unequivocally too high and harming children’s health. There is no safe level of air pollution, and if we care about our children and their future, air pollution limits should reflect WHO guidelines.”

TAPAS Noticeboard

How can models help us better identify impactful interventions in schools?

 Impact on Urban Health's new Health Effects of Air Pollution programme is interested in exploring how models may help us better identify impactful interventions to reduce air pollution in and around schools, while minimising the burden on school staff. Impact on Urban Health works in the London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark is open to opportunities to validate or test models in real-world school environments. Please contact TAPAS and we'll put you in touch with the programme lead to discuss possible opportunities or to learn more about Impact on Urban Health's 10 year programme to address the health effects of air pollution.
