As part of an emergency transport response to the pandemic, Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) have been introduced in many London Boroughs, to help people safely walk, cycle and use public transport. CERC consultants have been evaluating the air quality impact of LTN schemes, including five schemes in Lambeth and the Walworth and Dulwich schemes in Southwark. Using local traffic monitoring data as input, the modelling assessments consider pre-scheme and post-scheme scenarios to assess the air quality impact of these LTNs. CERC's ADMS-Urban and emissions inventory tool EMIT were used for the modelling. In addition to local traffic data, the model set-up used data from the London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory. Concentrations of NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 were modelled on a grid of receptor points within each LTN, to generate high resolution maps for the scheme areas. Model output was also generated at sensitive receptors, such as schools and hospitals. LTN monitoring reports for Lambeth can be viewed on the Council website.Where LTNs are finalised, CERC reports are available to view, for example for the Railton LTN. The figure shows the change in annual average NO2 concentrations at Railton LTN, assessed using significance criteria from EPUK and IAQM guidance for Land Use Planning & Development Control. A presentation on the assessment of LTNs from the 2021 ADMS User Group Meeting is available to view on the CERC website user area.

FPI Launches CO2 Analyzer to Attain the Goal of Carbon Peaking
In 2021, to achieve the goal of carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has issued the Guidance on Coordinating and Strengthening the Work Related to Climate Change Response and Ecological Environmental Protection and the Carbon Monitoring and Assessment Pilot Work Program. Proposing to strengthen greenhouse gas detection and implement reduction pollution and carbon, thus further optimizing the energy mix and driving industries to improve efficiency and reduce...
ECOMESURE partners with SINAY for the maritime industry
ECOMESURE is excited to announce its partnership with SINAY, which offers the Sinay Hub, a unique platform dedicated to maritime industries.
FPI Pioneered Use of Chemiluminescence Method in Ozone Pollution Monitoring
Ambient air—Automatic determination of ozone—Chemiluminescence method (HJ 1225-2021), a new national standard issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environmental of the PRC, was officially implemented on March 1st, 2022. Compared to the previous national standard——the UV absorption method, the chemiluminescence method, is characterized by strong selectivity and high measurement accuracy. The UV absorption method measures the concentration of ambient ozone based on the absorption of the...
Praxis/Urban Air Quality Monitors deployed in Oxford
16 Praxis/Urban air quality monitors have been deployed around the city of Oxford as part of the OxAria research project. South Coast Science is one of the commercial partners for the project, supplying air quality monitoring devices. OxAria is a collaboration between academic, public and commercial partners that aims to understand the air and noise quality impacts of COVID-19 across Oxford city. It is led by the Universities of Birmingham and Oxford and funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council.
ENVEA delivers its 10,000th MP101M particulate monitor
Air pollution is one of the main environmental problems to be addressed by cities worldwide.In order to foster sustainable development and mitigate climate change, it is important to provide national and regional authorities with high quality and very accurate monitoring solutions for the measurement of criteria pollutants (PM 10, PM2.5, O3, CO, SO2 and NOx) concentrations in ambient air.
