Exposures to Particles and Volatile Organic Compounds across Multiple Transportation Modes.
In this study, personal exposures within vehicles and during active travel were tested in real-world conditions across nine different transport modes on journeys from London Paddington to Oxford City Centre, in the United Kingdom.
A negative emission internal combustion engine vehicle?
This study examines thte claim that some tailpipe aftertreatment systems are pollutant negative, and are able to clean the ambient air.

Engaging the Public: Indoor & Outdoor Air Quality Research
The project will design and demonstrate the use of a suite of up-to-date, impactful (accessible) science-based materials with and for children and young people to help them better understand and act on air pollution and groups of adults with different needs and circumstances in respect to air pollution knowledge.

Consortia: RESPIRE – Relating Environment-use Scenarios in Pregnancy/Infanthood and Resulting airborne material Exposures to child health outcomes
RESPIRE will address knowledge gaps related to patterns and consequences of airborne exposures during pregnancy. The core tenet is to elaborate how pregnant women interact with and respond to airborne materials to inform guidelines, policies and behaviours to truly engender long-term health benefits.

The chemist using curry to understand indoor air pollution
An article in "The Chemist" that breaks down INGENIOUS findings about house hold pollutants released during cooking.

Fingerprinting the emissions of volatile organic compounds emitted from the cooking of oils, herbs, and spices
Emission rates for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been quantified from frying, spice and herb cooking, and cooking a chicken curry, using real-time selected-ion flow-tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) for controlled, laboratory-based experiments in a semi-realistic kitchen.

Chemical fingerprints of cooking emissions and their impact on indoor air quality
This study quantifies real-time emission rates of 39 VOCs from three frequently prepared UK meals: stir-fry, curry, and chilli, using a high-sensitivity selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer (SIFT-MS) in a room-scale, semi-realistic kitchen.
