Air quality

This is a pre-recorded intermediate level webinar available from 16 January 2023 to 31 March 2024.

Fee = £85.00 plus VAT or 1 credit

This webinar will cover a range of areas relating to indoor air pollution an area of increasing concern for human health. The webinar will initially focus on types of indoor air pollution, potential sources and the impact that indoor air pollution can have on human health. The differences between outdoor and indoor air pollution will also be discussed identifying any differences in approach or impact that are vital for the handling of indoor air pollution. The legislation regarding the monitoring and regulation of indoor air quality and the roles of various regulatory bodies and the application of the legislation will be covered, this area will also cover the role of building regulations in the matter of indoor air quality. On completion of the webinar we expect delegates will have a better understanding of the sources and impact of indoor air pollution and to understand the relevant legislation for monitoring and regulation.

The purpose of this webinar is to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected air pollution levels during the first lockdown, and provide an understanding of how the reduction in air pollution may impact Local Air Quality Management going forward. The first part of the webinar will outline the health impacts of air quality and presents measured and modelled air quality data from 2020, showing changes in pollutant concentrations. We will then look at how these unexpected changes in air pollution are likely to impact Local Air Quality Management, including tools such as the DEFRA background concentration maps and the Emissions Factor Toolkit. We will consider other implications of the change in air quality, including for Air Quality Impact Assessments and planning applications. Finally, we will explore how Local Authorities can make the most of the reduction in air pollution caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, by using it to promote the benefits of clean air and low car usage.

The webinar will consider how atmospheric dispersion modelling outputs are presented in Air Quality Impacts Assessments, submitted in support of planning applications, and provide advice on how model results should be interpreted. The session will include a group exercise in which delegates will be asked to critically review an example air quality assessment. This will allow air quality professionals to better understand the modelling studies that are commonly submitted in support of planning applications, and be better prepared to review them.
