UNDERSTANDING AND AMELIORATING THE HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTION: FROM KNOWLEDGE TO POLICY AND PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE

Abstract

Urban consolidation and sprawl, traffic congestion, mining, climate change, heating and cooling living environments, and power generation – these manifestations of modernity produce regular headlines. Air pollution and its effects on human health are the focus of much popular concern. This CRE will build an integrated research capacity in the field of air pollution and its effects on human health that will allow Australia to address these major challenges - now and in the future.
