CHILL Study

The Children’s Health in London and Luton (CHILL) Study is led by researchers from the Centre for Primary Care and Public Health,  King’s College London, the University of Edinburgh, the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, the University of Bedfordshire, St George’s Hospital Medical School and the University of Cambridge.

CHILL is a cohort study funded by the NIHR Public Health Research Programme. It will determine whether reducing air pollution from traffic improves lung growth and respiratory health in primary school children.

The work brings together experts from four world-leading research centres: The Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research, the MRC PHE Centre in Environment and Health, and the MRC Epidemiology Unit’s Centre for Exercise Diet and Activity Research.
