The "NO2 Working Group Practical Guidance" document provides a framework for UK local authorities to assess and manage nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution, with a particular focus on the use of diffusion tubes for monitoring. It outlines best practices for deploying diffusion tubes, including site selection, preparation, and quality assurance procedures to ensure accurate and reliable NO2 measurement...

This 101-style graphic primer on air pollution monitoring covers frequently asked questions and scientific jargon. As the saying goes, “we cannot manage what we cannot measure”. Having access to monitoring data is important for air quality management via (a) preparing action plans, (b) supporting public awareness activities, and (c) keeping track of progress in air quality (or lack thereof). Air p...

The Guidebook covers planning (e.g., what to monitor, where to monitor, which sensors to use) and deployment (e.g., how to use and maintain sensors, what factors to consider when taking measurements). It also covers sensor data handling, interpretation, communication, and use. It is intended to build on existing resources and aid community organizations in effectively using lowcost air quality sen...

Participants of this online course will understand why and how air quality monitoring is performed effectively, which can establish and/or strengthen air quality standards and sustainable national and local air quality monitoring programs that would enable deep understanding of air quality status. This module is divided into two sections: 1) Ambient Air Quality Standards – discusses difference bet...

This webinar series introduces tribal professionals to the world of tribal air quality programs and projects using tribal case studies to show how different tribes developed their programs/projects, and the various ways that effort is accomplished. Webinar 4 introduced the role of systematic planning using the Data Quality Objectives (DQO) process for developing a successful tribal air monitoring ...
