Marsden, G.R. and Bell, M.C. (2001) Road traffic pollution monitoring and modelling tools and the UK national air quality strategy. Local Environment, 6 (2). pp. 181-197. ISSN 1469-6711
Abstract
This paper provides an assessment of the tools required to fulfil the air quality management role now expected of local authorities within the UK. The use of a range of pollution monitoring tools in assessing air quality is discussed and illustrated with evidence from a number of previous studies of urban background and roadside pollution monitoring in Leicester. A number of approaches to pollution modelling currently available for deployment are examined. Subsequently, the modelling and monitoring tools are assessed against the requirements of Local Authorities establishing Air Quality Management Areas. Whilst the paper examines UK based policy, the study is of wider international interest.
