Exploring how energy policies, climate change affect air quality and our health Exploring how energy policies, climate change affect air quality and our health

A new interdisciplinary science team, led by experts from Yale and Johns Hopkins universities and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, will study how power generation trends, climate change, and public policy interact to affect air quality.

To help unravel this environmental puzzle, the EPA has awarded a five-year, $10 million grant to establish a new Solutions for Energy, Air, Climate and Health Center, based at Yale and co-led by Johns Hopkins.

To understand the impact of these changes and then advise policymakers on how to address them, the center will call on the expertise of researchers from a diverse range of fields, including public health, sensor development, biostatistics, climate science, and energy use projections.
