Discussion meeting: Mitigating Operational Impacts
Delivering real improvements in local air quality.In line with the IAQM guidance as air quality professionals, we quantify impacts (negligible, slight, moderate or substantial at individual receptors) and based on our professional judgement, conclude whether effects on local air quality are likely to be significant. The assessment of impacts considers the effectiveness of mitigation measures that are incorporated into the development proposals, but in terms of reducing residual impacts, we often don’t go far enough. We are frequently steered by local authorities…

Monitoring Air Quality 2019
30th April 2019 Crowne Plaza, The City - LondonEven with recent advances in modelling, measurement remains an important means of gaining insight into the nature of air pollution. Without it, we cannot fully understand the problem and, without an accurate diagnosis, we cannot propose solutions. This conference provides an opportunity to share experiences of using new measurement techniques whilst exploring ways to interpret data collected by analysers in a variety of environments.SpeakersA tale of two cities: Are policies improving air pollution in Paris…

Discussion meeting: How can we tackle the urgent problem of ammonia emissions?
Ammonia emissions contribute to particle pollution and urban smog, damaging sensitive natural habitats through excessive nitrogen deposition and acidification. Emissions in the UK have only fallen by 10% since 1970, however the Netherlands have reduced their emissions by over 60% since 1990. Currently, there are no ambient air quality standards or guidelines for ammonia. Agriculture, through the use and storage of manure, slurry, and inorganic fertilisers, accounts for 88% of UK emissions; the waste sector, vehicles, and industry account for…
