DESCRIPTION:Join Policy@Manchester and Centre for Cities for an in-depth 
 look at air pollution in Manchester.\n\nToxic air is now the biggest env
 ironmental risk of early death in the UK. Long and short-term exposure t
 o emissions caused by transport\, industrial activity\, energy productio
 n or domestic heating increase risks of cardiovascular and respiratory d
 iseases.\n\nCities Outlook 2020 found that at least one in 23 deaths in 
 the city were attributable to long-term exposure to just one pollutant –
  PM2.5 – and that nearly a fifth of monitored roads would breach World H
 ealth Organization guidelines for PM2.5 if they were adopted into UK law
 . Modelling for the five worst pollutants\, the Met Office’s Daily Air Q
 uality Index rose to levels where people with health conditions such as 
 asthma would be affected on a total of 31 days in 2018.\n\nIn this panel
  debate\, Centre for Cities and the University of Manchester will presen
 t their unique research and insight\, looking at both existing policy an
 d potential new initiatives for Manchester to combat air pollution. A sp
 eakers panel will give their responses to the research presentations and
  there will be an audience Q&A.\n\nConfirmed speakers include:\n\n      
               Andrew Carter - Chief Executive\, Centre for Cities (Chair
 )\n\n                    Professor Sheena Cruickshank – Professor in Bio
 medical Sciences and Public Engagement\, University of Manchester \n\n  
                   Professor Hugh Coe – Professor of Atmospheric Composit
 ion\, University of Manchester\n\n\nThe discussion will be followed by a
  networking lunch.\n\nThis event is free but places are limited so regis
