Jo presents at Care4Air conference

Jo attended the Care4Air Clearer Future conference "Air Quality in 2012" held at the Mansion House, Doncaster, yesterday. The one-day conference was well-attended and included presentations from ITN's Clare Nasir, talking about the Healthy Air Campaign, ClientEarth's Karla Hill, who spoke about taking the government to task for their failure to meet the EU Limt Values, and Defra's Robert Vaughan, who gave an update on UK air quality policy. Jo presented the findings from the local authority questionnaire survey, conducted by AQMRC and Air Quality Consultants, to voice Environmental Health Officers' concerns about Local Air Quality Management and to identify the barriers to local air quality action planning in the UK. The presentation was well-received and chimed with the earlier presentations from Karla and Robert.
