Last year’s air pollution conference at the RSC was a sell-out, so we are running it again in collaboration with DEFRA’s Air Quality Expert Group, with presentations and discussion focused on the group’s work on airports, amines and carbon capture and wildfires. www.rsc.org/events/find-...

In Africa, 1 in 4 heart disease deaths is linked to air pollution. On #WorldHeartDay, we're looking at what this means for a continent already facing gaps in air quality monitoring and health data. Read the research: www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...

Air pollution rarely acts alone. As Dr Marvellous Adeoye and Prof. Mark Miller note, "Many African countries regularly face high levels of air pollutants from a wide range of different sources. These exposures are compounded by poverty and limited access to medical care.”
