DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will give an overview of recent l
 aboratory\, field and modelling work in the Pope g
 roup from the last few years. The scale of interes
 t ranges from the detailed chemistry and microphys
 ics of individual aerosol particles\, up to air po
 llution in major capital cities. \n\nIn collaborat
 ion with the Universities of Cambridge\, Imperial 
 College London and the Central Laser Facility at t
 he Rutherford Laboratories\, we have developed new
  particle levitation and spectroscopic techniques 
 to probe aerosol chemistry and viscosity in atmosp
 heric and pharmaceutical applications. \n\nCity sc
 ale pollution has been monitored using a variety o
 f techniques\, including remote sensing using the 
 HEAT system to monitor vehicle exhaust emissions\,
  on a vehicle by vehicle basis\, allowing for the 
 detection of high emitters.  Complementary chaser 
 experiments have been developed where exhaust plum
 es are pursued in real time using an instrumented 
 mobile laboratory. We have also calibrated low cos
 t particulate matter sensors to cope with the wide
 ly varying meteorology of locations worldwide.   \
 n  \nFinally\, I will discuss the DFID funded www.
 asap-eastafrica.com project which brings together 
 UK and East African researchers in air pollution\,
  urban planning\, economic geography\, public heal
 th\, social sciences and development studies to pr
 ovide a framework for improved air quality in thre
 e East African cities: Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)\, Ka
 mpala (Uganda) and Nairobi (Kenya).  \n
