| NSFC Funding for Air Pollution Research
It is well known that air pollution is detrimental to our health, but precisely what constitutes harmful air and its levels of toxicity are still very much a mystery. To explore the joint toxicity mechanisms and contributions of key bioactive components in airborne fine particulate matters (PM2.5) from typical urban areas of China, Prof. Xiangdong Li, Dean of the Faculty of Construction and Environment (FCE), was recently awarded RMB 15,000,000 from the NSFC Major Research Plan for a two-year (2021-2022) Integrated Project. |
