Nuisance Dust – Dustscan Seminar

For further information, please contact Hugh Datson on 01608 810110 or email hughd@dustscan.co.uk.

The meeting will focus on emissions produced by congested traffic in urban areas (the primary reason that air quality limits are exceeded) and the need to be able to accurately model these emissions and the effects of any actions taken to reduce them.

The aims of the meeting are as follows;

• Provide an update to the latest DfT, Defra and HA guidance
  
• Review how vehicle emissions data are generated and the limitations in applying these data to the UK fleet
  
• Describe how instantaneous traffic models work, compared with models such as Saturn.
• Define limitations in traffic emissions data and how this impacts on air quality modelling.

A full programme is expected to be available shortly at http://www.environmental-protection.org.uk/events/details/?id=1315
