IAQM Webinar – Fossil fuels and VOC air pollution from oil well to kitchen counter
Oil and gas production and use is associated with exposure to health-relevant air pollutants including numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs).This webinar presents the results of field studies which investigated ambient VOC concentrations and potential routes to exposure within oil fields in Iraq, Nigeria and the UK. Analysis of field samples, often collected in residential communities, identified the presence of a diversity of VOCs including species classified as carcinogens.These field results will be presented alongside recent evidence describing VOC emissions related…

Seminar: Investigating the impact of applying different grid resolutions of NWP data in atmospheric dispersion modelling
The IAQM and Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Liaison Committee (ADMLC) are hosting a joint in-person seminar on the 18th October. Meteorological (met) station sites may be too far from, and situated in differing topography to, the release location(s) and thus met station derived data may be unrepresentative of a study area. The quality and availability of numerical weather prediction (NWP) model data is continuously improving. As a result, NWP model data is becoming more widely used as input to air dispersion modelling…
