This is what the BioAirNet team is focused on finding out. • This resource explains what BioPM is and how the BioAirNet team is informing the UK’s 2019 Clean Air Strategy. It also explains the term ‘interdisciplinarity’ and how studies in a wide range of subjects can lead to a career in air quality. The animation summarises the main points in the article.
