Dr. Stefan Reis's blog

Stefan Reis, Science Area Head for Atmospheric Chemistry and Effects at CEH, was among the team bringing our science to Dynamic Earth this month...

To address the key challenges presented by ground-level (or tropospheric) ozone, the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) plays a lead role in bringing the UK research community together. Ozone is a secondary pollutant, which forms as other pollutants react in the atmosphere and has adverse effects on human health, ecosystems and agricultural crops.

Substantive research and policy efforts to tackle these problems have been hampered by the complex interactions between the emission sources, atmospheric processes and meteorological factors and are discussed here.
