Green Drinks November: Air quality
Description
November Green Drinks, we will be hearing from Guy Coulson about Air Quality: Empowering Communities to understand and improve air quality
Air quality affects more than the environment. It impacts our health, wellbeing and quality of life, both outdoors and inside our homes.
Over the past decade, researchers have worked with schools and communities across Aotearoa to monitor air pollution and better understand how smoke, dust and other pollutants move through neighbourhoods and buildings. Using innovative monitoring technology, this work has revealed significant differences in exposure, even within the same town.
Join us to explore the latest findings and learn how communities can better understand and manage their air quality.
