Air pollution

Use of models in air pollution assessment

Pages 139-146 | Published online: 01 Nov 2012
 

Abstract

Both plume modelling and air pollution standards are changing under the impact of public protests and improved science. This paper explores how company consultants and the regulatory bodies (now the Environment Agency) are implementing these changes in the UK, drawing on case studies of power stations in South Wales. Under-fulfilment of general policy on transparency and auditability is discussed and proposals for improvement of the regulatory process are given, particularly in respect of public involvement.
