WM-Air (the West Midlands Air Quality Improvement Programme) is a new 5-year NERC-funded project to apply existing environmental science expertise to deliver regional impact – in economic, societal and policy terms – in support of improved air quality and health. The project draws down research expertise and links this to user organisations, ranging from the Combined Authority and Local Authorities to SMEs and industry bodies. In his opening keynote at EMISSIONS & AIR QUALITY Smart Class 2H 2019, William Bloss, Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Birmingham, gave us an insightful perspective on current and future regional urban air quality, and introduced the WM-Air project and Key foci, including work on new measurements of air quality, emissions and sensor development; prediction of future air quality scenarios, and case studies of applications within WM-Air, through a cohort of embedded Impact Fellows working within partner organisations.
