Longhurst, J., Olowoporoku, A. O., Barnes, J., Chatterton, T., Hayes, E. T., & Irwin, J. G. (2011). Process efficiency and outcome effectiveness in the United Kingdom's local air quality management regime. International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning, 6(3), 286-298. https://doi.org/10.2495/SDP-V6-N3-286-298

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
Pollard, S. J., Pankhurst, L. J., Deacon, L. J., Liu, J., Drew, G. H., Hayes, E. T., …Tyrrel, S. F. (2011). Spatial variations in airborne microorganism and endotoxin concentrations at green waste composting facilities. International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 214(5), 376-383. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheh.2011.06.001

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...

Evaluation of inflammatory effects of airborne endotoxin emitted from composting sources (2011)
Journal Article
Tyrrel, S. F., Deacon, L. J., Pankhurst, L. J., Liu, J., Abate, W., Hayes, E. T., …Jackson, S. K. (2011). Evaluation of inflammatory effects of airborne endotoxin emitted from composting sources. Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 30(3), 602-606. https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.434

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)
Conference Proceeding
Barnes, J. H., Chatterton, T., Hayes, E. T., Longhurst, J., & Olowoporoku, A. O. (2011). Assessing the potential for local action to achieve EU limit values. In C. Brebbia, J. Longhurst, & V. Popov (Eds.), Air Pollution XIX (277-285). https://doi.org/10.2495/AIR110261

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...

Towards a new framework for air quality management in Nigeria (2011)
Conference Proceeding
Olowoporoku, A. O., Longhurst, J., Barnes, J. H., & Edokpayi, C. A. (2011). Towards a new framework for air quality management in Nigeria. In C. Brebbia, J. Longhurst, & V. Popov (Eds.), Air Pollution XIX (1-10). https://doi.org/10.2495/AIR110011

Since 1988 the Nigerian Government has introduced environmental legislation aimed at reducing the atmospheric impact of various sources of pollution. Emphasis has often been placed on mitigating pollution from the oil and gas industry. However, vario... Read More about Towards a new framework for air quality management in Nigeria.
