Warmest congratulations to QAAS Fellow Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska (QUT) on this prestigious award. Lidia Morawska is a world leader in the science of atmospheric research and pollution, including ultrafine particles. The impact of her work is seen in the WHO’s global air quality guidelines, in the European Parliament’s directives on air quality, and more generally in growing initiatives around the world to improve air quality in buildings, and in the general quality of health. During the COVID epidemic she was central in identifying air-borne transmission as the key feature of infection, with far-reaching consequences for epidemiology and strategies for tackling the spread of the disease. |
