For key stakeholders to make informed air quality management decisions it is often necessary for in-depth data analysis to be tailored and concisely presented to meet their needs. Given the complexity of sources, the abundance of relevant data (e.g.... Read More about Utilising Openair to support multi-stakeholder engagement and the resolution of air quality issues.

Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain? (2013)
Journal Article
Barnes, J., Hayes, E. T., Chatterton, T., & Longhurst, J. (2014). Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain?. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 57(5), 660-681. https://doi.org/10.1080/09640568.2012.762573

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?.
