Susan Zappala, Joint Nature Conservation Committee and Mark Wilmot, Wing on behalf of the RIVM (Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment).Ecological assessment of air pollution is under increasing scrutiny due to caselaw challenge and UK policy developments. In the Netherlands, a similar challenge was tackled through their Integrated Approach to Nitrogen (PAS). With the advent of the Dutch Nitrogen Judgment, the PAS is being revised. However, the AERIUS suite of tools developed to implement the PAS remain useful. Through the ITAPA project,…

Small sensors are increasingly being used to measure gases and particles in the atmosphere, as part of academic research and in citizen science projects. Their low cost, portability and low power requirements bring new measurement possibilities, for example to improve the spatial representation in air quality monitoring networks. However, to deliver quantitative observations requires that sensor performances should be well-understood and characterised. Furthermore, sensor behaviour depends on the environment of application. Tjarda Roberts, through research, has deployed small sensors at volcanoes…

In this presentation Gloria will give an update on UK national policy related to reducing road transport GHG and air pollution emissions, provide a high level overview of the current zero emission technology and low carbon fuel landscape with examples of market developments for cars, trucks and buses. This will include electric battery, biofuels, low carbon hydrogen and retrofit technologies for older diesel vehicles. The presentation will touch on charging and refuelling infrastructure. Our speakerGloria Esposito is the Head of…
