To mark Clean Air Day on 15th June, the UK IAQM have organised a forum on air pollution and childhood exposure to be hosted at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Dr Archer will discuss her work on the School’s Air Quality Monitoring for Health and Education (SAMHE) project. In particular, she will explain how the project utilises citizen science methods to increase relevance and engagement on air quality.

Also speaking at the event will be Professor Paul Linden from the University of Cambridge and Dr Abigail Whitehouse from Queen Mary University of London. Prof. Linden is a co-project investigator on SAMHE and will speak about his wider work on school air quality through the Tackling Air Pollution in Schools network (TAPAS). Dr Whitehouse is a clinical academic respiratory children’s doctor in London. Her current research activities include setting up the new Children’s Environmental Health service at the Royal London and innovative asthma and wheeze trial work. Abigail also works with a variety of community, charity and young persons groups on air pollution health effects.
