The IAQM are pleased to announce the publication a special edition of the environmental SCIENTIST journal, focusing on air quality.
Though experts have been aware of the issue for many years, it is only in recent years that the majority of the media and public have become aware of the severity of the air quality crisis in many of Britain’s towns and cities. But is it too little too late? The articles in this issue of the environmental SCIENTIST discuss controversial topics around air quality management and measurement and suggest ways in which both government and individuals can strive to tackle this problem.
Guest edited by Dr Claire Holman, Chair of the IAQM, and with an editorial contributed by Matthew Pennycook MP, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Air Pollution, this issue includes a range of articles from scientists and practitioners.
