Westminster eco-mark Review and Assessment of Air Quality In 1995 the Environment Act set out a method by which local authorities would undertake a Review and Assessment of Air Quality in their areas. This was part of a new system of Local Air Quality Management. In 1998 the City Council carried out a review of air quality in Westminster and found that the standards for both pollutants were exceeded by up to 92% and 284% respectively. Using computer modelling systems we predicted that unless significant action is taken the standards will not be met by the due dates - 2004 and 2005. The Review and Assessment of the air quality in the City of Westminster led to Westminster being declared an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). The Action Plan sets out the policies and actions the City Council will take over the next 5 years to meet the national standards. A three stage report set against air quality strategy criteria - 1998 AQMA declaration order - March 1999 Air Quality Strategy and Action Plan 2001 Following the AQMA declaration a follow up stage 4 report was produced with dispersion modelling data based on the first Londonwide emissions inventory - 2001 Additional modelling and monitoring work was included in an update to the stage 4 work - January 2003 An updating and screening assessment A progress

U.S. Department of Labor www.osha.gov MyOSHA [skip navigational links] Search Advanced Search A-Z Index Safety and Health Topics: Indoor Air Quality In Focus OSHA Alliances Concerns with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) have increased since energy conservation measures were instituted in office buildings during the 1970s, minimizing the infiltration of outside air and contributing to the buildup of indoor air contaminants. IAQ generally refers to the quality of the air in an office environment. Other terms related to IAQ include Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) and "Sick Building Syndrome." Complaints about IAQ range from simple complaints such as the air smelling odd to more complex, where the air quality causes illness and lost work time. It may not be easy to identify a single reason for IAQ complaints because of the number and variety of possible sources, causes, and varying individual sensitivities. The following questions link to resources that provide safety and health information relevant to indoor air quality. What standards apply?

Issue Background Activities Further information Issue Agricultural practices can potentially affect air quality through the emission of nitrogen compounds, particulate matter, and other substances. Background Agricultural emissions of nitrogen compounds may have negative effects on ecosystems. Nitrogen compounds emitted from agricultural sources can impact air quality, the most significant of which are ammonia (NH ), primarily from fertilizers and livestock, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from fuel combustion in farm equipment. In fact, the draft Canadian National Inventory of Ammonia Emissions shows that agricultural activities are the primary source of ammonia in the air. Quantities of ammonia from agricultural sources: increased by an estimated 2.5 times, mainly due to increases associated with livestock, between 1980 and 1995; and represented 95% of all ammonia emissions from human sources and 56% of total emissions, human and natural, estimated for 1995. Smog Some agricultural activities also play a large role in the formation of smog - a noxious mixture of air pollutants that can often be seen as a haze in the air. The two main components of smog are airborne particulate matter and ground-level ozone. Airborne particulate matter consists of microscopic material in the air. These tiny particles, capable of being inhaled by humans, pose a significant threat to human health. In fact, respiratory particulate matter has been declared toxic by the

Clear skies over Parkers Piece The National Air Quality Strategy In 1997 the Government established a National Air Quality Strategy (NAQS) in response to requirements of the Environment Act 1995. This made it clear that good air quality was considered to be consistent with the principles of sustainable development and essential to the creation of an external environment in which individuals and communities can thrive. An essential component of the strategy was the setting of Air Quality Standards for certain pollutants, based on the findings and recommendations of the Expert Panel on Air Quality Standards (EPAQS). This group examined the scientific and medical evidence in relation to each pollutant in order to set a relevant health based standard. The standards were adopted by the Department of the Environment Transport and the Regions (DETR) for the NAQS and thus form the context in which the review of air quality is being carried out.

Air Quality Georgia's Clean Air Force In Georgia, mobile sources, like cars and light trucks, are one of the top contributors to our ozone problem. Metro Atlanta's emission testing program is the result of the Federal Clean Air Act, which was enacted by the U.S. Congress and supported by the Georgia General Assembly. Many other cities around the country are enacting similar programs, as a result of the same legislation. The goal of the program is simple: identify the vehicles that are the heavy polluters, and have them fixed. So there can be a cleaner, healthier environment for you, your children and their children.

These characteristics can be influenced by many factors, even though these buildings or facilities do not have industrial processes and operations found in factories and plants. Factors that influence IAQ include the following. Inadequate supply of outside air. Contamination arising from sources within the building (e.g., combustion products including carbon monoxide and environmental tobacco smoke; volatile organic compounds from building materials, fabric furnishings, carpet, adhesives, fresh paint, new paneling, and cleaning products; ozone from office equipment). Contamination from outside the building (e.g., ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter) through air intakes, infiltration, open doors, and windows.
