Talk / Discussion Take a journey through the global history of air pollution. From Edinburgh’s days as ‘Auld Reekie’ and London’s ‘Pea Souper’ smogs, to the toxic haze of modern-day Delhi, air pollution has plagued city dwellers for centuries. So take a deep breath and take a journey through the global history of air pollution. Guided by the ‘Air Quality Stripes,’ we’ll explore how pollution levels have shifted across the world. Discover the science behind the data and gain insights into the air quality challenges – and solutions – for a healthier future.
