Mathematicians use Balena to model global air pollution

Dr Gavin Shaddick, of the University of Bath’s Department of Mathematical Sciences and Deputy Director of the Bath Institute for Mathematical Innovation, has been leading an international research team, which includes the WHO, and have used the University of Bath's High Performance Computing (HPC) system, Balena, to investigate global air pollution.

The results show that nine out of ten people (92 per cent) on Earth live in places where air pollution is higher than acceptable limits – even when they are outside.
