Research by Tim (AQMRC) and Graham Parkhurst (CTS) into a lack of improvement in air pollution over past 20 years has hit the local and national headlines this week. Tim and Graham have been in London to present their work to the Royal Geographical Society but additional media interest in their work has stimulated discussion of the topic on news channels, print and digital media.
