Protecting people from hazards
(14 December 2020)
Our researchers are helping people to prepare for disasters, protect future generations from pollution, and are working to make cross-border trading safer.
And now we’ve received over £5 million funding to tackle some of the world’s toughest issues.
A healthier future
Particulate air pollution (PAP) is made up of tiny dust particles that pollute the air. This type of pollution is a particular issue for children because there is a direct link between pollution and developing respiratory disease in later life.
Durham’s Professor Claire Horwell is leading a project with a team of researchers in Nepal and Indonesia to assess how effective different exposure reduction practices, such as wearing masks, are for children.
