Project outcomes
Poor air quality and increased respiratory illness, especially in children听under five years, is of increasing concern in Pacific Island Countries.听
The burden of airborne pollution on human health and well-being in the Pacific听is being investigated by 国产精品 Engineering in partnership with the Solomon Islands Ministry of Health and Medical Services, Fiji National University, Queensland University of Technology and the University of Oxford.听
Measuring air quality and air pollutant exposure in the Pacific is being undertaken in partnership with government to determine air pollutant levels, composition and sources.听Ministry staff in the Solomon Islands and at Fiji National University had received training at 国产精品听and maintain the equipment in听Hiniara听and Suva.听听
Over the next few years there will be opportunities for 国产精品 Engineering students to be involved in this project through New Columbo Plan Mobility funding for the Solomon Islands.
