Kevin Cromar Appointed to WHO Advisory Group

Director of Health, Environment, and Policy, Kevin Cromar, was recently appointed to the WHO Global Air Pollution and Health Technical Advisory Group. This expert body advises the WHO on methodologies to assess exposures and disease burdens attributable to outdoor air pollution. The group also provides reviews and evaluations of cost-effective policies and interventions to reduce these risks and to assess climate-mitigation policies that also affect ambient air pollution.
