How does air pollution affect mental health? New study aimed to find out Research looked at records of 14,800 people in Bradford to see what happened after they moved to more polluted area

Can #airpollution and the green space around my home affect my brain health?

My latest piece for @theguardian.com looks at changes in mental health amongst people who moved home in #Bradford.

New paper with Luisa Amann out on #UrbanHeatIsland effects in Greater London!

We show young children, ethnic minorities & low-income groups face up to 4Β°C higher tempsβ€”and developed a street-level heat impact metric + guidance to support targeted planning interventions🌑️🌍🌳
