She is a Professor of Air Pollution Studies at Imperial College London. Her research includes the impact of acid rain, nuclear accidents and fine particulates on human health and ecosystems. Early life and educationApSimon was born on 28 April 1942 in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, England.[1] She was educated at Northampton High School, an all-girls independent school in Northampton, Northamptonshire.[2] She went on to study Mathematics at Somerville College, University of Oxford, graduating in 1960.[3] She completed a PhD in astrophysics at the University of St Andrews. ResearchApSimon is a founding member and Chairman of the European Association for the Science of Air Pollution. ApSimon is well known for her research into the transport of radioactivity from the Chernobyl disaster.[4][5] In the immediate aftermath, Russia issued a media blackout and ApSimon was one of few European scientists to detect rising radiation levels.[6] She modelled the nuclear fallout, calculating Chernobyl released 15 - 20 megacuries of Iodine-131 and 1 - 2 megacuries of caesium-137.[7] During the first few weeks after the disaster, ApSimon calculated the radioactive plum covered Scandinavia and the North coast of Europe.[8] She travelled to Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria in 1988.[9] ApSimon is interested in the impact of urban air pollution on human health and ecosystems.[10] In 1995 she calculated the cost of building damage due to acidic European atmospheres.[11] In 1998 the UK Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions commissioned ApSimon to study investigate the cost-effectiveness of controlling the shipping emissions in the North Sea.[12][10] MembershipsApSimon has been a member of several expert groups, including the National Expert Group on Transboundary Air Pollution, and the Air Quality Expert Group of DEFRA.[13] In 1999 ApSimon was a member of the Royal Society Global Environmental Research Committee.[14] In 2004 she contributed to the European Commission National Emission Ceilings Directive Review.[15] ApSimon was invited to chair a new Heathrow air quality expert review group in 2017.[16] Personal lifeIn 1967, Helen Hollingsworth married Hugh ApSimon.[1] He predeceased her, dying in 1998.[1] HonoursIn the 2013 Queen's Birthday Honours, ApSimon was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to air pollution science.[17][18] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|title=ApSimon, Prof. Helen Mary|website=Who's Who 2018|publisher=Oxford University Press|doi=10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.274668|date=1 December 2017|chapter=Apsimon, Prof. Helen Mary, (born 28 April 1942), Professor of Air Pollution Studies, Imperial College London, since 2001}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:ApSimon, Helen}}2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.gdst.net/article/alumna-year-2017-nominee-profile-helen-apsimon-northampton-high-school|title=Alumna of the Year 2017 nominee profile: Helen ApSimon, Northampton High School|date=2017-04-12|work=Girls' Day School Trust|access-date=2018-02-02|language=en}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://issuu.com/somervillecollege/docs/somerville_college_report_2012-13/51|title=College Report 2012-13|work=Issuu|access-date=2018-02-02|language=en}} 4. ^{{Cite book|title=A to Z of scientists in weather and climate|last=Don.|first=Rittner|date=2003|publisher=Facts On File|isbn=978-1438109244|location=New York|oclc=234234840}} 5. ^{{Cite journal|last=Apsimon|first=Helen M.|last2=Wilson|first2=Julian|date=1991-01-01|title=The application of numerical models to assess dispersion and deposition in the event of a nuclear accident|journal=Journal of Forecasting|language=en|volume=10|issue=1–2|pages=91–103|doi=10.1002/for.3980100106|issn=1099-131X}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03cgc0x|title=The Legacy and Findings of the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, Global Concerns - BBC World Service|website=BBC|language=en-GB|access-date=2018-02-02}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fetjwSi-rwMC&dq=apsimon+chernobyl&source=gbs_navlinks_s|title=Chernobyl: the grim statistics of cancer|last=|first=|date=1986-08-14|work=New Scientist|access-date=2018-02-02|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} 8. ^{{Cite journal|last=Vandecasteele|first=C.M.|date=October 1996|title=INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: "TEN YEARS AFTER THE CHERNOBYL CATASTROPHE"|url=http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0012/001237/123781eo.pdf|journal=UNESCO|volume=|pages=|via=Unesco}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.wcmt.org.uk/fellows/stories/helen-apsimons-story-0|title=Helen Apsimon's Story {{!}} Winston Churchill Memorial Trust|website=www.wcmt.org.uk|language=en|access-date=2018-02-02}} 10. ^1 {{Cite book|title=Air pollution modeling and its application XIV|date=2001|publisher=Kluwer Academic|others=Gryning, Sven-Erik., Schiermeier, Francis A., NATO/CCMS International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modeling and its Application (24th : 2000 : Boulder, Colo.)|isbn=978-0306474606|location=New York|oclc=559433711}} 11. ^{{Cite book|title=Urban pollution and changes to materials and building surfaces|others=Brimblecombe, Peter, 1949-|isbn=978-1783268863|location=London|oclc=947143726|last1 = Brimblecombe|first1 = Peter|date=2015-11-23}} 12. ^{{Cite book|title=Air pollution science for the 21st century|date=2002|publisher=Elsevier|others=Austin, Jill, 1953 March 24-, Brimblecombe, Peter, 1949-, Sturges, W.
