Webinar on Air Pollution (Revisited)
17th May 2022, 2pm to 4pm (BST)
Online
Overview
Air Pollution has been with us for many years. It has been a subject which, at a local level, has received a lot of attention especially since the beginning of industrialisation, when the search began for ways to mitigate the consequences of the use of resources at industrial and domestic level, and later with the increase in transportation of people and goods. Over the years the negative effects of the massive use of resources and the evidence of trans-boundary pollution, forced us to find more advanced ways of dealing with the problems at regional level. More recently the problem caused by the use of CFCs and the subsequent Ozone hole, as well as the yet unsolved problem of Climate Change, have exacerbated the global consequences of atmospheric pollution.
WIT has always been involved in collaborating with research, knowledge transfer through conferences and publishing in respected Journals, thus following closely the evolution of the subject at an international level.
