Air pollution has long been known to damage health and the environment, with recent research adding considerably to the knowledge base on how this occurs and why. However air pollution can be thought of as a wicked problem where no single solution will create the desired reductions necessary to meet targets based on health set by the WHO. The Clean Air Champion(s) roles are to drive forward new research into air pollution in relation to adverse health and effects on the wider environment environment. At present we know that air pollution of all types and from multiple sources causes damage to living cells whether human, animals or plants. However, understanding the total exposure to air pollutants and mixtures across 24 hours and over much longer periods in real world settings is largely unknown. The advent of new technologies in the field for personal and more localised pollution monitoring coupled with improved markers of damage and worsening of diseases will greatly strengthen the information required to introduce control of emissions and mitigation strategies for the benefit of society. Technologies that can be sustaining or disruptive also have a key role in cleaning up the air around us. The ability to create predictive models of adverse air pollution outcomes in relation to climate conditions, urban settings and indoors is an important part of this Air Pollution Solutions programme, but any such model requires validation with real world observations. There is an urgent need to break down traditional barriers between physical, biological and health scientists on the one hand and the research community, industry and local and central government to translate knew knowledge on pollution to benefit the health and wealth of society.To achieve these aims, this proposal for a Clean Air Champion(s) lays out a strategy and a delivery plan to strengthen the field and through interdisciplinary working create more joined up working that will translate into benefits to the public at large and create new opportunities for industry as this and other countries get closer to replacing pollution emitting sources by cleaner technologies. A further role for the Champion(s) is to promote greater public awareness and understanding of the adverse effect of air pollution and to offer ways forward where everyone can play their role in driving down pollution levels. The aims of the Clean Air Champion(s)will be: 1) Identify and then undertake a mapping exercise to discern the goals and problems to be solved. T; 2) Unify key researchers and stakeholders around visionary missions using a range of tools to engage the different communities ranging; 3) Uncover and challenge barriers/obstacles and produce workable interdisciplinary solutions; 4) Create new ideas leading to new interventions to test; 5) Translate these ideas into practical activities targeted at the right audiences; 6) Develop a professional and public communications strategy using the best available evidence available and convert these into positive messaging. We see a particular role for early career researchers throughout the whole programme since they will become the leaders who will ensure novel and ambitious goals are set and that the programme becomes sustainable.People will change their behaviour only if they see the new behaviour as easy, rewarding, empowering and normal. Although the work will be coordinated from Southampton and Kings College, London, the activity has to be national in character and sufficiently ambitious to drive change.

空气污染长期以来一直被认为会损害健康和环境，最近的研究大大增加了关于这种情况如何发生以及为什么发生的知识基础。然而，空气污染可以被认为是一个邪恶的问题，没有一个单一的解决方案将创造必要的减少，以满足目标的基础上健康的世界卫生组织。清洁空气倡导者的作用是推动对空气污染与健康不良和对更广泛环境影响的新研究。目前，我们知道，各种类型和多种来源的空气污染会对人类、动物或植物的活细胞造成损害。然而，在真实的世界环境中，24小时和更长时间内对空气污染物和混合物的总暴露量的了解在很大程度上是未知的。个人和更局部化的污染监测领域新技术的出现，加上损害和疾病恶化的改进标志，将大大加强为社会利益而引入排放控制和缓解战略所需的信息。可持续或破坏性的技术在净化我们周围的空气方面也发挥着关键作用。建立与气候条件、城市环境和室内环境有关的不利空气污染结果的预测模型的能力是空气污染解决方案方案的重要组成部分，但任何此类模型都需要通过真实的世界观测进行验证。迫切需要打破物理、生物和健康科学家与研究界、工业界以及地方和中央政府之间的传统障碍，将有关污染的知识转化为有益于社会健康和财富的知识。这份清洁空气倡导者的建议书制定了一项战略和交付计划，以加强该领域，并通过跨学科的工作创造更多的联合工作，这将转化为广大公众的利益，并创造新的工业的机会，因为这个国家和其他国家越来越接近用清洁技术取代污染排放源。倡导者的另一个角色是提高公众对空气污染不良影响的认识和了解，并提出未来的发展方向，让每个人都能在降低污染水平方面发挥作用。清洁空气倡导者的目标是：1）确定并进行规划，以确定目标和需要解决的问题。T; 2）使用一系列工具将主要研究人员和利益相关者团结在有远见的任务周围，以吸引不同的社区; 3）发现和挑战障碍/障碍，并制定可行的跨学科解决方案; 4）创造新的想法，从而导致新的干预措施进行测试; 5）将这些想法转化为针对正确受众的实际活动; 6）利用现有的最佳证据制定专业和公共传播战略，并将其转化为积极的信息。在整个项目中，我们看到了早期职业研究人员的特殊作用，因为他们将成为领导者，确保制定新颖而雄心勃勃的目标，并确保项目可持续发展。只有当人们看到新的行为是容易的，有价值的，授权的和正常的，他们才会改变自己的行为。虽然这项工作将由南安普顿和伦敦国王学院协调，但这项活动必须具有全国性，并有足够的雄心来推动变革。
