Thursday 7th December 2023 – City, University of London & Online
The topic for the GASG December meeting this year was something that affects everybody – air quality. Levels of outdoor pollution in urban environments, and the measures taken to abate them, are a major political issue. This meeting provided updates on the impacts of poor air quality and discussed the state of the art in quality monitoring.
Among the expert presenters were Frank Kelly (Imperial College) who explained the effect of specific pollutants on the human body and Nick Martin (NPL), who spoke about the validation of field sampling methods. Ehsan Danesh (Adsentec) described best practice in the design of sensor networks and Andrew Grieve (Imperial College London) explained the Breathe London sensor model and experience. David Hagan (Quant AQ) discussed the role and capabilities of particle sensors in air quality monitoring.
The meeting was a vibrant and informative day with plenty of interaction between presenters and attendees in the best traditions of GASG events.
