Person wearing black shirt holds a large black tube in a laboratory. Text says: ‘“I love the freedom I have in my job to pursue varied topics, both in and out of the lab, and being able to work with people across different areas of research. I also love working in a field where I can see real-world applications to my research, helping contribute towards improving indoor air quality for all.” - Amber Yeoman’.

Person with long hair, wearing an orange top, stands and reaches upwards towards a metal pipe on top of a large metal container. Text says: ‘“What do I love about my job? Atmospheric chemistry research is all about problem solving - whether that's big problems, like how does the chemistry impact air quality in cities? - or small problems, like why am I getting that result in a particular lab experiment? It is always very satisfying to figure out the solution!” - Lisa Whalley’.

Person wearing a high visibility jacket walks down the aisle of research aircraft. The person is carrying a box of equipment. Text says: ‘“I love that every day is completely different to the next! One day I might be in the lab mocking up some code for a new instrument, and the next I might be flying over the North Sea looking at ice habits of various cloud types.” - Olivia Whiteside’.

In honour of the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGS), we’re spotlighting a few of the incredible women who lead groundbreaking atmospheric research at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science. They told us what they love about their job 💙

In countries like the UK, people can spend up to 90% of their time indoors – exposing them to invisible and often ignored sources of air pollution.

In recognition of @globalactionplan.bsky.social #CleanAirNight (22/01/25), we’re resharing some studies on indoor air pollution:

IMPeCCABLE Welcome to the website for the EPSRC-funded IMPeCCABLE research project, being carried out jointly between the Universities of York, Chester and Nottingham. The aim of this project is the understand m...

Also the impeccable.york.ac.uk study that looked specifically at cooking and cleaning emissions.

INGENIOUS Do you know what harmful airborne pollutants are found in your home? Many of the activities we do in our own homes produce airborne pollutants, including particles and chemicals that can be harmful to...

Worth taking a look at the ingenious.york.ac.uk study!

Fantastic day today with both Ellen and Toby graduating!

Our new paper modelling radical chemistry of HOMEChem is out now. The paper, led by Toby and Freja, follows a bleach cleaning event and used #INCHEM-Py to discover and develop missing HONO mechanisms based on good agreement with measurement. @niccarslaw.bsky.social

Clean Air Programme presentation from our Ingenious project

Wonderful to see so many of our Clean Air Programme (@ukcleanair.bsky.social & @metoffice.bsky.social) projects at this week's UKHSA #airpollution conference.

Congratulations to Ele Smith - @metoffice.bsky.social on winning best poster with the new Air Quality Portal.

I enjoyed presenting a short overview of the INGENIOUS project today at the UKHSA air quality review. Fantastic event for mixing the science, health and policy spheres.

After nearly 2 years, construction on INTERIORS has finally started!! INTERIORS will be a globally unique indoor air testing facility at the University of York

How does energy efficiency affect indoor air quality? at University of York on FindAPhD.com PhD Project - How does energy efficiency affect indoor air quality? at University of York, listed on FindAPhD.com

Fancy working in the brand new INTERIORS facility? @niccarslaw.bsky.social and I have funding for a PhD project looking into how energy efficiency measures will impact indoor air quality.
