Prof Sverre Vedal’s purpose is to assess
the effects of short-term air pollution exposure
on human health.
He will study subjects near heavily trafficked roadways
and inside residences in heavily polluted Chinese urban areas,
with and without protective measures
such as highly-effective masks or home air purifiers.
His research will provide a strong scientific basis
for both short-term and long-term public health interventions,
in order to reduce the substantial cardiopulmonary health impacts
of exposure to air pollution.
