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...

Envisioning the future: A methodology for city scale carbon management (2011)
Journal Article

A longitudinal study of the links between local air quality management and local transport planning policy processes in England (2010)
Journal Article

The second round of the Local Transport Plan (LTP2) process in England presents unique challenges and opportunities for integrating Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) within current transport planning policy. Using content analysis of LTP2 documents... Read More about A longitudinal study of the links between local air quality management and local transport planning policy processes in England.

Particle size distribution of airborne Aspergillus fumigatus spores emitted from compost using membrane filtration (2009)
Journal Article

Information on the particle size distribution of bioaerosols emitted from open air composting operations is valuable in evaluating potential health impacts and is a requirement for improved dispersion simulation modelling. The membrane filter method... Read More about Particle size distribution of airborne Aspergillus fumigatus spores emitted from compost using membrane filtration.

Microbial and endotoxin emission from composting facilities: Characterisation of release and dispersal patterns (2009)
Journal Article

The potential risk to human health posed by exposure to bioaerosols released from composting is an important issue. Further growth in the number of composting facilities in the UK is anticipated as biodegradable waste is diverted from landfill. To da...

A dispersion modelling approach to determine the odour impact of intensive poultry production units in Ireland (2006)
Journal Article

The use of atmospheric dispersion modelling has become more common for the determination of odour impacts from existing poultry production facilities and the assessment of setback distances for new facilities. Setback distances for broiler, layer and... Read More about A dispersion modelling approach to determine the odour impact of intensive poultry production units in Ireland.

Odour and ammonia emissions from intensive pig units in Ireland (2006)
Journal Article

Odour and ammonia emissions were measured at four intensive pig units in Ireland. Odour samples were collected on-site and analysed for odour concentration using an olfactometer. Ammonia concentrations in the exhaust ventilation air were measured usi... Read More about Odour and ammonia emissions from intensive pig units in Ireland.
