Detailed ADMS-Urban modelling for Greater Manchester`s Clean Air Plan
Greater Manchester is developing a Clean Air Plan to tackle illegally high levels of roadside air pollution across the city-region. They have carried out detailed modelling with CERC's ADMS-Urban software, which is widely used for developing and testing policy and action plans for air quality improvement. The modelling identified 152 stretches of road likely to have levels of NO2 in breach of legal limits beyond 2020 if no action is taken (i.e. annual average above 40 μg/m3). An interactive mapshows which stretches of road are affected.
To develop the Clean Air Plan, Greater Manchester is considering a wide range of measures that could help reduce roadside NO2 levels. The final Clean Air Plan will include a combination of interventions from a shortlist of 14 potential measures including retrofitting public transport and local authority fleets, increasing use of alternative fuels and electric vehicles, and Clean Air Zones. No decision has been taken yet on which of these measures will be included in the final Greater Manchester Clean Air Plan. The Greater Manchester Clean Air Plan Business Case is required to be submitted to Government by 31 December 2018.

Effects of the COVID 19 shutdown on the air quality in Innsbruck
Facing an impending shutdown due to the COVID 19 crisis, we started to document its impact on the environment by analyzing Innsbruck’s air quality with a CHARON PTR-TOF 6000 X2. And indeed, the entire Tyrol was quarantined on March 14th, 11am. This had clear effects on traffic and personal mobility. Very recently, Google Inc. has reported a reduction of the mobility in the Tyrol between 65% and 95% associated to workplaces and to retail & recreation, respectively. The associated reduction of anthropogenic...

Glass Worldwide - Optimising Emissions Monitoring in Glass Melting Furnaces
For the whole of my professional career, I have been using electronic based gas analysers. I was shown how to use ‘Orsat type’ chemical instruments but found them unreliable and not that user-friendly. The first instruments I used regularly were to analyse oxygen and CO, which are the most important for safety and combustion efficiency. That is still the case today, however oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are now also important from an emissions perspective. The first gas analyser that I had with %O2,...

Hanoi’s 11th air quality monitoring station installed at French Embassy
The automated station constantly updates data on wind speeds and directions, rainfall, dust, ozone and air quality. Its equipment is connected to the city’s monitoring system, and all indices are publicised on the municipal People’s Committee’s portal. At the same time, the station allows detailed study on pollution and sources of pollution. Earlier, the French-based ENVEA, a renowned manufacturer in the field of environmental instrumentation, installed ten air quality monitoring stations in...
