What are the gaps, challenges, and opportunities for future health research studies in the UK? This interactive workshop run by the Air Hub network will bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to explore the health impacts of indoor particulate matter and identify future research directions in this rapidly evolving field.

This two hour workshop will feature a combination of talks and interactive group discussions exploring the burden of disease linked to indoor particulate matter, the challenges of quantifying these impacts, current data and health evidence gaps, and the implications for patients and clinicians. Participants will also hear several “quick-fire” presentations showcasing ongoing research from teams across the UK.
Following talks, attendees will join breakout discussions to reflect on key insights, share expertise, and identify opportunities for collaboration and future research priorities. These discussions will also serve as an early forum for generating ideas that could be developed into funding proposals for Air Hub’s upcoming summer sandpit event.
Air Hub is a new EPSRC-funded interdisciplinary network of engineers, health scientists and others set up to create healthier indoor air for everyone.
Project / An interdisciplinary network set up to understand particulate matter in indoor air, its health impacts and effective and equitable ways to address it.
Past event / Watch the first in the CHILI seminar series, which brought together experts to explore children’s learning environments and health.
Tool / CHEPA is an easy-to-use calculator that helps schools assess how a HEPA filter impacts classroom air quality and energy use.
