RDE602 Thermal Transport of Air Pollution from Regulated Industries (TAPRI)

This specific piece of work is part of a research project the Environment Agency (EA) is undertaking to assess the impacts of thermal air flows on the movement of air pollutants. At present, our air quality assessments don't always consider how variations in air temperature near the ground can cause thermal air flows that incorporate pollution and move it around in unexpected ways. This can happen in areas of complex terrain, at the coast or peri-urban settings, potentially causing unexpected impacts on people e.g....
