Final Report<br />

259<br />

• How will atmosphere chemistry change because of CC? (Imperial College)<br />

• Athens - smog! Taste of things to come?<br />

• Study air quality but not including CC?<br />

• Sources - sulphates - Nitrates - smog - O3<br />

• Skin/Health impacts ‘Point’<br />

• Sun + Air Pollution<br />

• Diffuse transport<br />

- Alternative modes - i.e. cycling<br />

- Work on feasibility of low emission vehicles/for areas in <strong>London</strong><br />

• Nitrogen - how will wet/dry deposition be impacted. Nitrogen enrichment on land,<br />

water and lighting<br />

• Drier atmosphere increase dust with impacts on health<br />

• If more construction dust will increase<br />

• Hotter- open windows and spend more time outside - indoor air quality will be<br />

poor - dust mites survive easier. Air conditioning will increase<br />

What information do we need to Understand/measure/monitor this impact?<br />

How might this information be collected?<br />

• EA & LA’s do air quality monitoring - but need more!<br />

• Need to understand air quality and climate change - modelling<br />

• Network of automatic stations - need more of these including monitoring<br />

metrology<br />

• Are we monitoring the right pollutants in the right places?<br />

What mechanisms and structures already exist to assess this issue?<br />

• Need to monitor & understand urban microclimate & e.g., street canyons<br />

• Modelling needed - CC + air quality<br />

• Will we have more exceeds of air quality standards?<br />

• Integrate with air quality - managing strategies<br />

Where or who is existing information coming from?<br />

• Also monitor traffic - flow/condition/vehicle types<br />

• Also monitor construction sites
