May 8 - Guelph Breakfast Series: Measuring Sources, Exposure and Mitigation of Air Pollution

/

Presented by: Greg Evans, P.Eng, PH.D., FAAS, FCAE, FCEEA

Poor air quality is the top environmental burden on health, globally associated with 8.8 million premature deaths per year.  In Canada alone this represents 14,400 mortalities and $114B/year in social costs. This talk will summarize our ongoing efforts to advance the knowledge needed to identify sources and characterise the resulting human exposure. I will present a selection of case studies related to traffic, communities, transit, and street sweeping. These cases will illustrate the range of approaches we are using to directly measure and thereby better understand “real world” air quality, so as to mitigate these adverse health impacts.

Greg Evans, P.Eng., Ph.D., FAAAS, FCAE, FCEEA is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry and the Director of the Southern Ontario Centre for Atmospheric Aerosol Research. His research examines the impacts of air pollution on the environment, climate and human health. He has received numerous recognitions for his contributions through research including the 2021 NSERC Brockhouse Canada Prize for Interdisciplinary Research and the 2022 CIC Environment Division Research and Development Dima Award. He is also a 3M National Teaching Fellow, member of the UofT President's Teaching Academy, and has received numerous other recognitions for his excellence in teaching including the Engineers Canada Medal for Distinction in Engineering Education and the Ontario Colleges and Universities Faculty Association Teaching Award.

This presentation will be of value to consultants, plant managers, facility owners, officers and directors of industrial companies, and others interested persons. There are three locations to choose from! Guelph will be simulcast from speaker’s location.
