Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain? (2013)
Journal Article
UK local air quality action planning has failed to remediate exceedances of air quality targets, particularly for nitrogen dioxide, which are widespread and persistent a decade after the first local action plans were drafted. This paper is relevant t... Read More about Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain?.
Exploring a city's potential low carbon futures using Delphi methods: Some preliminary findings (2012)
Journal Article
This paper describes a Delphi methodology to generate a number of broadly consensual low carbon scenarios for 2050. This approach to 'creating' the future, rather than predicting, is useful when dealing with profound and uncertain change over a long...

The rhetoric and realities of integrating air quality into local transport planning process (2012)
Journal Article
Regardless of its intent and purposes, the first decade of the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) framework had little or no effect in reducing traffic-related air pollution in the UK. Apart from the impact of increased traffic volumes, the major fa... Read More about The rhetoric and realities of integrating air quality into local transport planning process.

Introduction of local Air Quality Management in South Africa: Overview and challenges (2012)
Journal Article
Air pollution control in South Africa has undergone a shift from the best practicable means to an Air Quality Management approach. Previous legislation was out-dated and did not achieve acceptable air quality. Further, policy and legislative developm...

Air quality action planning: Barriers to remediation in local air quality management (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper explores the operation of air quality action planning within the framework of UK air quality management with particular reference to the key actors and actions. The paper examines the intentions of action planning policy and reflects on th... Read More about Air quality action planning: Barriers to remediation in local air quality management.
Process efficiency and outcome effectiveness in the United Kingdom's local air quality management regime (2011)
Journal Article
The UK's Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) commences with a Review and Assessment which may lead to the declaration of an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) where an exceedence of the Air Quality Objectives is confirmed. A declaration initiates the... Read More about Process efficiency and outcome effectiveness in the United Kingdom's local air quality management regime.

Spatial variations in airborne microorganism and endotoxin concentrations at green waste composting facilities (2011)
Journal Article
The emission and dispersal of bioaerosols from open-air commercial composting facilities continues to be contentious. A meta-dataset enumerating cultivable microorganism emission and downwind concentrations is not yet available. A dataset derived fro...

Improving road transport-related air quality in England through joint working between Environmental Health Officers and Transport Planners (2011)
Journal Article
In this paper the necessity for effective joint working arrangements between Environmental Health Officers and Transport Planners is demonstrated as a fundamental prerequisite for successful management of traffic-related air quality in English local...

Evaluation of inflammatory effects of airborne endotoxin emitted from composting sources (2011)
Journal Article
Because of the lack of effective methodology, the biological effects of environmental endotoxin have not been assessed. Here we have collected and measured airborne endotoxin at different locations around composting sites. Increased endotoxin concent...

Assessing the potential for local action to achieve EU limit values (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Despite 14 years of UK Local Air Quality Management (LAQM), ambient NO concentrations have not decreased as expected. Although NO concentrations decreased from 1996 to 2002-4, this trend has subsequently levelled off. The UK Government has failed t...
