In the last week we have added our fifth and sixth speakers to complete the line-up for the National Air Quality Conference which will be held in London on 4th November.
Our final two speakers are, respectively, experts in the effect of air pollution on children and the impact of construction on air quality.
Last week we confirmed Dr. Abi Whitehouse, Senior Clinical Lecturer in Children’s Environmental Health at Queen Mary University of London and, this week, Daniel Marsh, Programme Manager, Centre for Low Emission Construction, has agreed to join us.
Dr. Whitehouse is a Senior Clinical Lecturer in Children’s Environmental Health at Queen Mary University of London and an Honorary Paediatric Respiratory Consultant. She co-leads the Barts Charity Children’s Environmental Health Clinic, focusing on how air pollution harms children’s health.
Her work integrates pollution monitoring, home assessments, and social prescribing into asthma care. By using digital tools to analyse air quality and working closely with communities, Dr. Whitehouse designs care pathways that reduce respiratory illness and health inequalities. She leads a multidisciplinary team translating research into real-world solutions for cleaner air and healthier children.
Daniel is a research scientist working as part of the aerosol sciences team at the Environmental Research Group, Imperial College London, combining air pollution science, toxicology and epidemiology to determine the impacts of air pollution on health.
He is the programme manager for the Centre of Low Emission Construction (CLEC) that aims to raise awareness of the impact of dust and emissions on local air quality and health across the construction industry. CLEC conducts ‘real world’ emissions and occupational exposure measurement across active construction sites as well as promoting the uptake of ‘best in class’ mitigation and emerging technologies.
Daniel sits on working groups with both the GLA and IAQM producing guidance for the construction and demolition industry, local authority planning and air quality officers and environmental consultants.
Already confirmed as speaking at the conference are:
- Rezina Chowdhury, Deputy Leader of Lambeth Council
- Nick Smith, Head of the UK portfolio at the Clean Air Fund
- Nicola Pastore, Co-Founder & Director, Solve the School Run
- EarthSense, who will be presenting an air quality monitoring case study
Early bird tickets for the conference – which was sold out last year – are still available.
