IAQM Webinar: Air Quality Futures: Environment Agency horizon scanning
The nature of air pollution is set to change rapidly in the next few years as a result of new drivers such as Net Zero, altering behaviours, emissions, exposure, and impacts. The new drivers and changes cause pressures on air quality, giving rise to new areas for research and regulation. The Environment Agency’s air quality assessment work increasingly involves diffuse, multiple pollution sources in urban and suburban environments, rather than discrete emissions from high stacks that disperse over rural environments.…

IAQM Webinar: Presentation of the Air Pollution Footprint Partnership & Tool
In the realm of emissions reporting, numerous frameworks cater to organisations' needs for disclosing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, an important gap persists - the absence of a structured framework for organisations to report on their air pollution emissions. Adding to this landscape, the recent adoption of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards now requires EU companies to report on their air pollution data. The webinar will present the Air Pollution Footprint Partnership (APFP) scheme whose core purpose is to address…

IAQM Webinar – Air quality and biodiversity impacts of future agricultural scenarios in the UK: How spatial modelling provides policy insights
Agriculture is the main source of ammonia emissions in the UK. These emissions result in both particulate air pollution and terrestrial eutrophication from the deposition of reactive nitrogen onto sensitive habitats. The Government has set targets and identified technical measures to tackle this directly, but even if these targets are met, ammonia emissions will continue to have widespread health and environmental impacts. Agriculture is also the main land use in the UK. This means changes to land use can alter…
