Join us in the lead-up to Clean Air Night for this joint EPIC & IAQM webinar, exploring new research into why people burn solid fuels in their homes, and what this means for efforts to improve air quality.

Professor Chantelle Wood will present findings from a research project investigating solid fuel burning in homes in Bradford, undertaken in collaboration with City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council and funded by UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) and Defra.

The research explores the factors that influence household solid fuel burning, providing valuable insight into the behaviours, attitudes and circumstances that shape this source of air pollution. The findings offer important lessons for environmental professionals and others working to reduce exposure to air pollution and support cleaner choices in the home.

This EPIC & IAQM webinar is free and open to all.
