Source apportionment of industrial fugitive dusts: Developments in passive dust monitoring (2012)
Book Chapter

DustScan is a passive (i.e. unpowered) dust sampling method. It uses a transparent adhesive ‘sticky pad’ to sample dust in flux and in deposition for subsequent image-based quantification and, as appropriate, geochemical analysis. Samples are obtaine...

Introduction of local Air Quality Management in South Africa: Overview and challenges (2012)
Journal Article

Air pollution control in South Africa has undergone a shift from the best practicable means to an Air Quality Management approach. Previous legislation was out-dated and did not achieve acceptable air quality. Further, policy and legislative developm...

Elemental chemistry of fugitive dusts from quarries and associated sites (2012)
Book Chapter

Fugitive dust from quarrying and related extractive industry activities is a long-standing and intractable problem. Attempts to control emissions are directed by legislation and informed by statutory guidance, within the overall context of national a...

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Spatial variations in airborne microorganism and endotoxin concentrations at green waste composting facilities (2011)
Journal Article

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

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...

Towards a new framework for air quality management in Nigeria (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

Assessing the potential for local action to achieve EU limit values (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...

Health Education Research: Editorial (2010)
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.
