CERC awarded DfT aviation air quality modelling contract for ICAO CAEP
The UK Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded CERC a two year contract to carry out local air quality modelling of aviation emissions for the International Civil Aviation Organization Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (ICAO CAEP).
The CAEP is a technical committee of the ICAO Council, which assists the Council in formulating new standards and recommended practices relating to the environmental impact of aviation.
One of ICAO's environmental goals is to limit or reduce the impact of aviation emissions on Local Air Quality. Since the late 1970s, ICAO has been developing measures to address emissions from aircraft engines and other airport sources in the vicinity of an airport.
To inform its assessment of the impacts of international aviation emissions, CAEP uses computer-based modelling and databases sponsored by Member States and international organisations participating in CAEP.
CERC's work under this contract will be under the auspices of the CAEP Modelling and Databases Group (MDG). Our work will include modelling test cases of the local air quality impacts of aircraft emissions for a range of airports. We will also investigate ways in which the modelling process might be streamlined and improved.
CERC's model ADMS-Airport will be used for this project. ADMS-Airport is one of the approved models for the ICAO CAEP MDG; it is listed in the ICAO Airport Air Quality Manual as a typical model used in the advanced and sophisticated approaches. Following the use of the model in DfT's Project for Sustainable Development of Heathrow (PSDH)—Adding Capacity at Heathrow, DfT's expert panel on modelling was in 'full agreement in the recommendation of the CERC model ADMS-Airport for future modelling work at Heathrow'.

Respiratory Protection Week in Puerto Rico and Resources to Identify and Mitigate Exposure to Airborne Risks
Each year, respiratory protection makes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) top ten list of the most frequently cited safety and health violations. This, despite the fact that millions of workers from across the country, and in a wide range of occupations, are required to wear respirators while performing various tasks. Recognizing the vital role that respiratory protection plays, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) annually promotes Respiratory Protectio...

Property Damage and Occupational Health Hazards Caused by Wildfire Smoke
Smoke from countless wildfires in Canada have blanketed communities from New York City to Charlotte with unhealthy air this summer. During one day alone, over 125 million people in the region were under an air quality alert and the air quality in New York City registered as the worst in the world. A New York Air Quality Health Advisory about the wildfire smoke warned: Exposure can cause short-term health effects such as irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and shortness of...

Wireless torque sensors ensure airliners’ safety
Airliners are subject to tremendous loads as they land and take off, from the touchdown of the undercarriage, to the back-thrust of the jet engines as they slow the aircraft on the runway and the wind pressure on the flaps and flight control surfaces when they are lowered to provide air-braking. Furthermore, these loads can increase exponentially in difficult or emergency situations, so it is essential that the relevant parts are regularly tested and recertified as fit for purpose.
