During his leadership at King’s, the London Air Quality Network developed into a first class dissemination and education resource for London residents. He has led studies on the urban airshed within London, including the impact of the introduction of London’s Congestion Charging Zone and the Ultra Low Emission Zone. A new area of investigation is ambient microplastics, where work is focusing on their identification, detection and potential health effects. The experimental research examines the toxicity of airborne particulate matter, diesel and biodiesel exhaust emissions, wood smoke and identifies of biomarkers of exposure. The substantial research activity, over which he presides, spans all aspects of air pollution research from toxicology through to science policy.
