PhD projects

Extensive experimental facilities and expertise exists for measuring indoor air pollution concentrations, and investigating associated health effects, and for generating surrogate particles with similar dynamic behaviour to nuclearchemicalbiological-derived particles, so that their movement through buildingsaround the human body can be studied. Also interesting in modelling indoor aerosol concentrations and dust resuspension.
