Over the 20th to the 22nd of June Jim, Tim and Ben participated in the 24th International Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution in Crete. Jim co-chaired the conference with Carlos Brebbia of the Wessex Institute of Technology, gave a keynote speech on the ‘Progress with air quality management in the 60 years since the UK Clean Air Act, 1956’, and chaired two sessions, the first of which was on the health effects of air pollution and the second on the monitoring and measurement of air pollution. Tim gave two talks at the conference, the first was on ‘An environmental justice analysis of exposure to traffic-related pollutants in England and Wales’ and the second on ‘A social and spatial analysis of emissions from private vehicle use in Great Britain’. Ben presented a paper on ‘A critical review of the robustness of the UK government's air quality plan and expected compliance dates’ and chaired a session on air pollution modelling.
