AQMRC, UWE win NERC-MRC-MoES bid to work in India

AQMRC, UWE, in conjunction with Newcastle University, have just been awarded funding by the National Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Medical Research Council (MRC) to undertake one of five short-listed research projects in Delhi, India. The four-year project 'CADTIME: Clean Air for Delhi Through Interventions, Mitigations and Engagement' is in response to a Newton Bhabha call 'Atmospheric Pollution and Human Health in an Indian Megacity'. It is a really exciting opportunity to work with colleagues from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Delhi and Bombay, the Central Road Research Institute and the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute in India. The aim of the project is to understand what needs to be done to mitigate air pollution from a range of sources in what has been cited by the World Health Organization as the second-most polluted major city in the world (2016). Ultimately the project aims to reduce the impacts of air pollution on human health, reducing the number of deaths and improving quality of life for Delhi's inhabitants.
