Challenges and opportunities for local action to improve air quality

Abstract
This brief presentation considers the role of Local Authorities (LA) in providing local air quality management (LAQM) and public health protection.
It will focus on the role of LAs in reviewing and assessing air quality, declaring Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) and developing Air Quality Action Plans (AQAP).
LAQM has enabled a new spatial and temporal geography of air pollution to be developed.
Action Plans have been ineffective in improving air quality due to a lack of powers, resources and institutional willingness to undertake actions that enhance public health in the longer term but are unpopular in the shorter term.
Contemporary challenges and potential future LA actions are considered within the framework of a resource constrained future.
