Friday: Online lecture ‘Chemistry: Delivering clean air for all’

Throughout the year, the University of York organises free lectures on a variety of topics and this Friday, 24th January, they will be hosting an online-only lecture titled: Chemistry: Delivering clean air for all.

Expansive countryside landscape with vibrant blue skies, fields, and trees.

The event will take place between 6.30pm to 8pm and speakers include Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer for England, Jacqueline Hamilton, Science Director of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, and Ryan Ballard, Engineering Director at JCB.

The event is taking place to mark the tenth anniversary of the University of York’s Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratories a collaborative venture between the University and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS).

Each speaker will offer a different perspective on air pollution and provide thoughts on opportunities. Chris will examine the issues from a public health viewpoint, while Jacqueline will explore clean air from the perspective of the research community and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

Ryan will describe how a new generation of hydrogen engines can simultaneously support decarbonisation and improve air quality in construction and farming.

Those interesting in virtually attending the lecture can reserve their places here.
