What is air pollution and why should we care about it? Join us as we find out the key role air pollution plays in our lives, and what action we can take to help.

Dr Colin Gillespie has been with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency for almost 20 years. He manages the Air Modelling Unit, which is responsible for understanding how air pollution is released into the atmosphere, moves through the air, and impacts on human health and the environment. Dr Gillespie is also enthusiastic about citizen science, and has worked with many schools and communities, educating and encourage positive actions to reduce our exposure and our contribution to air pollution.
