Two topics & experts from TROPOS will be present:
Indoor air pollution
Language: English
Expert: Andrea Cuesta-Mosquera
Indoor air pollution (IAP) is a topic of concern given the large amount of time people spend indoors. My research focuses on assessing IAP in European and African contexts. In Europe, we use low-cost sensors in locations like schools to understand IAP's health effects and create awareness through user-friendly information. In Africa, my work examines IAP produced by cooking-related pollution in rural areas and its link to respiratory conditions.
Air Quality through the ages
Language: Deutsch / English
Expert: Roland Schrödner
The meteorologist is researching the topic of air quality and the complex relationships between particulate matter, clouds and climate. With the help of models, he gets to the bottom of the causes: from local air pollution caused by traffic or stoves in the city to the consequences of large forest fires for global circulation and the world climate.
