Laura De Vito presents at the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen

Dr Laura De Vito (Air Quality Management Resource Centre) was at the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen to present the results of a project on the links between socioeconomic status and exposure to air and noise pollution. The project, led by Dr Jo Barnes (AQMRC) and in partnership with the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment and Trinomics, assessed the latest evidence and state of knowledge regarding the role of socioeconomic factors in determining exposure, susceptibility and vulnerability to air pollution and noise. The results of the project contributed to inform the EEA’s Knowledge Innovation Actions and the debate about environmental justice in Europe.
