Has implementation of local air quality management reduced local nitrogen dioxide concentrations in the UK? (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Barnes, J., Hayes, E. T., & Longhurst, J. W. (2014). Has implementation of local air quality management reduced local nitrogen dioxide concentrations in the UK?. In J. Longhurst, & C. A. Brebbia (Eds.), Air Pollution XXII (365-376). https://doi.org/10.2495/AIR140301

In February 2014 the European Commission launched legal proceedings against the UK for its failure to cut excessive levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The failure of national action to achieve the necessary reduction in NO2 places an increasing onus o...
