Benjamin Barratt

Ben Barratt is a professor of environmental exposures and public health and Deputy Director of the Environmental Research Group at Imperial College London, UK. He has 30 years’ experience of conducting multicenter studies linking environmental exposures to diverse health endpoints in the UK, East Asia and Africa. He is a technical advisor to the World Health Organization and the UK Government.
The primary aim of his research is to improve the resolution of exposure assessments for panel, cohort and large-scale population studies. This is linked to the development of tools to allow the public to make informed choices to reduce their own exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution. His research is often in collaboration with international multidisciplinary teams ranging from toxicology and population health through to behavioral science and policy development.
