Air Quality

The EIA Air Quality Working Group comprises members from a diverse group of specialist technology and consultancy companies. The aim of the working group is to encourage cooperation between these sectors in order to solve the challenges posed by air pollution.

These include monitoring and modelling in order to better understand the sources of air pollution and how they develop and transport through the atmosphere.

Alternative fuels play an important role in reducing pollutant emissions and innovative combustion technologies can also lead to cleaner emissions. Abatement systems such as catalytic converters and particulate traps can reduce tailpipe emissions and new materials address non-combustion emissions such as tyre and brake wear. Sound and pollution control barriers can also improve environments nearby transport and industrial hubs.
