Dr Richard Baldauf
United States Environmental Protection Agency
Biography
Dr Baldauf has over 20 years of experience conducting research on emissions, air quality impacts, and adverse health effects from exposures to air pollution emitted by transportation sources. His research focuses on the development of policies and practices to mitigate air pollution emissions and impacts at local, urban, and global scales.
He works for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development where he leads cross-disciplinary research teams focusing on air quality measurements, air dispersion modelling, and sustainable urban development. He also maintains Adjunct Professor appointments at North Carolina State and Texas A&M University in the US.
Dr Baldauf will present on his research investigating how urban green infrastructure affects air pollution, especially in communities located near large roadways and other ground-level air pollution sources.
