The Centre is held jointly between
Imperial College London
and King's College London.
The air pollution epidemiology group at St George's, University of London is affiliated with the Centre through King’s College London.
The main conceptual thrust for the Centre is to integrate individual-level and small-area
analyses of environmental exposures and health - using advanced geographical information
systems (GIS) and statistical modelling techniques, combined with experimental data,
biomarker and mechanistic studies, and analyses of large population cohorts
- to tackle environmental health problems of public health and scientific importance.
Aims encompass both research and training in environment and health.
Centre staff work closely with colleagues in the Small Area Health Statistics Unit (SAHSU)
and the Environmental Research Group.
This will involve further development of the national databases at Imperial College London which include health data, data on populations, environmental exposures
and sources of environmental pollution.
Advantage will also be taken of the air quality databases held at King's College London and their modelling capacity.
