Air quality

Poor air quality is linked to over 40,000 deaths each year in the UK alone. A better understanding of the sources and distribution of pollutants is required if countries are to develop effective reduction measures.

The ACRG is involved in a number of campaigns to better understand air quality, including regional modelling of aviation emissions, tracer experiments simulating atmospheric transport in urban environments and measurements of pollutants from some of the World’s most populous cities.
