In partnership with Natural Resources Wales
- Are you passionate about solving complex environmental challenges?
- Interested in creating non-toxic urban spaces that benefit society and nature alike?
In the UK, burning solid fuels (e.g. wood/coal) in the home is a major source of airborne chemical pollutants, including PM2.5 – fine particles in the air that are harmful to health. These airborne pollutants may also influence soil and water pollution via deposition and run-off. However, there are gaps in knowledge about the impact of solid fuel burning on air/soil/water pollution in urban UK homes and how to reduce it.This PhD project will address these gaps:
This opportunity includes a three-month secondment with Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru/Natural Resources Wales applying your research in real-world contexts.
This exciting PhD project, part of the NERC-funded ECOSOLUTIONS Doctoral Focal Award, offers the opportunity to help tackle the problem of chemical pollution in urban environments.
