UEP 2012 - Urban Environmental Pollution Conference
[17-20 Jun 2012]

>> The effects of cities on people are not well-understood. Cities require huge amounts of energy, resulting in large quantities of waste products, causing unsustainable environments. Cities are sources of air, water and soil pollution. Light and noise pollution are now known to adversely affect urban people. The role of urban heat islands and air pollution, Pm 2.5 and ozone, on human health is beginning to emerge. Lack of green space may have psychological effects for urban dwellers.

>> This very successful conference identified many areas of urban life that warranted further investigation. UEP2012 aims to pick up where UEP2010 left off and continue the exploration of the urban environment and how we can begin to create a healthy and liveable environment in cities.

>> Topics:

• New information about urban environments and how they function
• Pollution problems and possible solutions
• Role of the built environment in alleviating heat islands
• Human health problems and solutions
• Role of vegetation in mitigating urban pollution and human health problems
• Innovative methods for alleviation of urban stress problems
