Glòria Carrasco

Research Technician


Glòria Carrasco, MPH, is a Research working at the Air Pollution and Urban Environment Research Programme and at the Urban Planning, Environment and Health Initiative. She is an environmental scientist specialised in epidemiology and public health, mainly in air pollution exposure assessment.


She has worked in projects looking at the beneficial impacts of natural environments (e.g. green and blue spaces), modes of transport, air pollution, physical activity, etc. in human health.
