Benjamin Barratt is a Visiting Professor in Environmental Exposures & Public Health at Imperial College London. His research focuses on evaluating environmental stressors, air quality policies (e.g., London’s Congestion Charging Scheme), and their impacts on public health. He collaborates internationally on projects such as vertical air pollution gradients in Hong Kong and health cohort studies in Beijing. His work integrates sensor technology, environmental modeling, and policy analysis to address urban pollution challenges.
Key research themes include urban development-environment interactions, pollutant exposure assessment, and interdisciplinary approaches to public health improvement. Recent studies emphasize multi-exposure effects in adolescents (e.g., SCAMP cohort) and placental nanoparticle analysis. His collaborative projects span sub-Saharan Africa (PRECISE Network) and involve diverse teams from epidemiology to social science.
Publications highlight advancements in air quality modeling (e.g., machine learning for PM2.5 prediction), policy accountability (Hong Kong shipping emissions), and health impacts of pollutants on vulnerable populations (e.g., maternal-fetal health, COPD exacerbations). His work bridges science and policy to inform evidence-based interventions.
