Unique curved barrier can protect people from air pollution
A unique curved barrier has been designed by researchers at Imperial College London, who publish new findings in the peer-reviewed journal
Cities & Health on how the structure can protect people from the damaging effects of air pollution.
With air pollution becoming an increasingly dangerous global health challenge, researchers are constantly working on innovating novel solutions to tackle these 21st century problems. At Imperial College London, researchers are using airflow modelling techniques to study the effects of unique roadside structures to deflect particulates away from pedestrians.
The health concerns arising from lower air quality are more significant amongst lower income communities which are more likely to be situated near heavily traffic-laden thoroughfares. Similarly, children are both more vulnerable to and more readily exposed to air pollution simply due to their proximity to the ground, where heavier p
