Environmental Research Group
The Environmental Research Group (ERG), part of the
School of Biomedical Science at
King’s College London, is a leading provider of air quality information and research in the UK.
The Group, led by Professor Frank Kelly,
consists of six teams:
Monitoring,
Emissions,
Modelling,
Lung Biology,
Web Services
and
Science Policy.
The group combines air pollution science, toxicology and epidemiology to determine the impacts of air pollution on
health and the causal factors. We work closely with those responsible
for air quality management to support policies and actions to minimise air pollution health effects.
The co-ordination of air quality monitoring sites on a regional scale has many benefits, including consistent
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures, a single regional data source, knowledge and equipment sharing.
Following establishment of the first regional monitoring network, the
LAQN,
the Environmental Research Group continues to specialise in this area.
