Week 2 - Pollution, Air Quality and Health

Week 2 of the course will look at types of atmospheric pollution, methods of measurement and how pollution effects human health in more depth.

We will look into more detail at air quality and the types of atmospheric pollution, how we measure and model this pollution and the effects this pollutants have on human health. This week will also go over the various techniques for how this data is collected from multiple sources, combined and then mapped out into models and digestible data sources, which can then be used to create policy and help people who are at risk to avoid areas where pollution is high.
