Clean Air Programme

---

This group will focus on the levels of pollution and their impact on overall indoor environmental quality (IEQ) – the extent of the problem; how the outdoor pollution impacts IEQ12; the health impacts; the broader impacts on learning; and schools in the context of the wider city, how air pollution problems link into wider sustainability issues in cities. 

A systems approach will be developed using brain-storming, agent-based and economic modelling including quantification of health related effects of tackling air pollution. We will examine the potential for using data and AI in a systems approach and consider ‘whole-city’ thinking – putting solutions for schools in the wider context of city planning. In this way we will develop a framework for prioritising interventions. 

Every six months we will bring our community together with a full Network meeting. We will also hold workshops on topics of interest with expert speakers. Members of TAPAS are welcome to join any of our focus group activities which will run regularly, or to work with us directly on bespoke research.

To change the conversation on air pollution we believe it is essential to engage directly with children, schools and parents. Our team includes education and citizen science specialists who will help us to effectively build schools outreach into our work programme.
