Air Quality in the media

Air quality has featured heaviliy in the media this month, thanks in part to some excellent coverage from the BBC, sparked by their School Report. BBC News School Report gives UK secondary school students the opportunity to make and broadcast their own news. In February 2015, students from Oasis Brightstowe Academy, near Shirehampton, investigated their exposure to air pollution on their commute to and from school. AQMRC's Dr Jo Barnes advised on the monitoring and data analysis and was invited to participate in a number of interviews for TV and radio:
  • Recorded radio interview with BBC Radio 4 Costing the Earth (3 Feb 2015)
  • Recorded interview with BBC Radio Bristol (9 Feb 2015)
  • Recorded TV interview with BBC Point West (12 Feb 2015)
  • Recorded TV interview with CBBC Newsround (12 Feb 2015)
  • Recorded interview with BBC World Service (12 Feb 2015)
  • Live telephone interview with BBC Radio Bristol (23 Feb 2015)
  • Live studio interview with BBC Points West (23 Feb 2015)
