In conversation with Aristeidis Voliotis: Impacts of air pollution on human health
We spoke to Dr Aristeidis Voliotis about how air pollution affects our bodies, and how scientists uncover the truth behind what’s in the air around us.
Our ambition
We seek to understand our atmosphere, how it is changing, and how it impacts life on earth.
We address global challenges, through our science and our services, helping society adapt to environmental change.

Long Term Global Change
Human activities are now the major driver of changes in the atmosphere and its interactions with the earth’s climate. To inform adaptation and mitigation policies, we provide robust scientific evidence on how our atmosphere is changing.
Sustainability
We are committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040. We are dedicated to finding innovative ways to enable the atmospheric science we do, while minimising our environmental impacts.
Our services
FAAM Airborne Laboratory
Our FAAM Airborne Laboratory operates a specially adapted world-class research aircraft.
