09:50 Conference Chair: Roger Barrowcliffe, Clear Air Thinking, IAQM Chair

Welcome

10:00 Cllr Simon Cook - Assistant Mayor

Political leadership for clean airSimon’s talk reflects on the challenges of delivering clean air for cities and will look at his experience of leading the City Council and sustainable transport agenda in Bristol, the European Green Capital 2015. He will set out his thoughts on the role of political leaders, science, public opinion and regulation in creating healthy cities. His presentation will complement that of Colin Rees, on the practical action being taken to create a sustainable, clean transport system for Bristol.

10:15 Dr Ian Mudway - King’s College London

Health effectsWith recent discovery of emission defeat devices in diesel cars there’s an urgent need to refocus the debate around why this really matters. This is not simply an issue of customers being mis-sold a product, but a much more profound failure to prioritize public health over profit. In this lecture Mudway will review the evidence for the health effects of air pollution, with a particular emphasis on diesel exhaust emissions; including the emerging evidence of impacts on brain development during childhood and functional declines with age.

10:45 Cristina Guerreiro - Norwegian Institute for Air Research & The European Topic Centre on Air Pollution and Climate Change Mitigation

EU air quality limit value exceedancesDespite considerable improvements in the past decades, Europe is still far from achieving levels of air quality that do not pose unacceptable risks to humans and the environment. Air pollution is the top environmental risk factor of premature death in Europe; it increases the incidence of a wide range of diseases and has several environmental impacts, damaging vegetation and ecosystems. The latest analysis of exceedances of the EU air quality limit and target values in Europe will be presented. The data is based on the analysis of air quality status and trends published in the EEA Air Quality in Europe - 2014 report.

11:15 Break and refreshments

11:35 Dr Eckard Helmers - University of Applied Sciences, Germany Trier

Europe’s diesel car boom - causes and impactsThe European car industry has managed to decouple itself from the world market for the last 20 years by focusing on the diesel powertrain. This massive technology change resulted in some 45 million extra diesel cars in Europe until 2013. Four factors have been identified in order to explain the very different dieselisation rates across Europe. Minor greenhouse gas savings by the diesel car boom were overcompensated by an increase of supply chain CO2 emissions and extensive black carbon emissions of diesel cars without particulate filters. Also, many Europeans have been exposed to excess NOx and fine dust this way.

12:05 Prof. Jim Longhurst - University of the West of England

Air quality in historical perspective — or why we fail to learn the lessons of historyThis presentation will explore contemporary issues of air pollution through the lens provided by history. It will present a perspective drawn from an analysis of historical, and mostly failed, attempts to manage air pollution from classical times until today. It will ask the question why have we not learnt from the lesson history provides? It will do so with the benefit of 2020 hindsight!

12:35 Colin Rees - Strategic City Transport at Bristol City Council

Bristol’s sustainable transport policiesBristol is making significant progress towards sustainable growth with high profile investments in transport. These include improved walking routes, a network of new cycle routes, improvements to the West of England suburban rail network with improved frequencies, the opening up of freight lines to passengers and new stations, developing a Bus Rapid Transit network to serve the sub-region and improvements to local bus services which have has attracted new passengers with a package of bus priority measures and more competitive fares.

Reducing emissions

14:15 Conference Chair: Jack Pease, Air Quality Bulletin

Welcome back

14:20 Poppy Lyle - Greater London Authority

Reducing emissions and exposure in LondonThis presentation will explore various London policies, plans and projects, including the Ultra-Low Emission Zone, the new London Local Air Quality Management framework, the Mayor’s Air Quality Fund and the Breathe Better together awareness campaign.

14:55 Stephen Thomson - Transport Scotland

Low Emission Strategy for ScotlandThe Low Emission Strategy for Scotland draws together policies across central and local government with particular respect to transport, place making, health and communications. Objectives and actions will support a challenging vision. A National Modelling and Monitoring Framework will provide the evidence to enable a National Low Emission Framework to be delivered, with the latter exploring the consistent approach to Low Emission Zone development.

15:25 Claire Holman - Brook Cottage Consultants

LEZs: Are they effective?Do LEZs improve urban air quality? The evidence from five EU countries concludes that there have been mixed results. LEZs in Germany, which restrict passenger cars as well as heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), appear to have successfully reduced long-term average PM10 and NO2 concentrations by a few percent. Elsewhere, where only HDVs have been restricted, the picture is much less clear due to confounding effects

Behavioural change

16:15 Dr Kirsty Smallbone - University of Brighton

Individual interpretations of air quality informationAir pollution is a concept which, while in the consciousness of individuals, is not connected with individual actions and behaviours, nor with risks to human health. Unlike water pollution, air pollution does not make us feel instantly unwell and it is not often connected to feelings of breathlessness and ill health. This presentation will explore the reasons why policy makers need to take a more harmonised approach to providing active forms of air quality information as the first step to encouraging behavioural change.

16:45 Professor Graham Parkhurst - University of the West of England

Air quality implications of new technologies for urban mobilityFour processes lie at the contemporary intersection between urban mobility management and new technologies: automation, electrification, collectivisation (asset-sharing), and information (data-sharing). Each of these has implications for air quality. The presentation will consider whether those implications are likely to be positive or negative. It will be argued that much depends upon how the technological innovations are applied and, critically, what prospect there is for these four processes to be integrated in coherent local transport policy.

Reducing traffic emissions


09:30 Conference Chair: Dr Claire Holman, University of Birmingham/Brook Cottage Consultants/Vice Chair, IAQM

Welcome and introduction

09:35 Julie Girling - Member of the European Parliament for the South West of England

The National Emissions Ceiling DirectiveAir quality has come up the agenda dramatically in the last year or so. With an estimated 400,000 citizens suffering premature death as a result of poor air quality it is clear that the EU must do all that it can to improve standards quickly. The Commission have professed their commitment to a better regulation agenda, which is a welcome position for us in the UK. Improved air quality and Better Regulation are not mutually exclusive and I fully believe that we can come up with a robust and ambitious legislative solution that will help us tackle this trans-boundary problem. We must look for better coordination and tackle the relevant pieces of source legislation, to ensure better implementation of existing laws; it is only by taking action on all these fronts that we can make real improvements.

09:55 Xavier Querol - Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA)

Airuse: Mitigation in Southern EuropeMajor results obtained from the AIRUSE LIFE+ (LIFE11 ENV/ES/584, www.airuse.eu) on urban air quality will be presented. This deals with improving air quality in urban areas from Southern Europe by obtaining detailed PM source apportionment data and, accordingly, suggesting air quality measures based. Once the main source contributions to ambient levels of PM10 and PM2.5 are obtained, the strategic goal of the AIRUSE project is to develop, test and propose specific and non-specific measures to abate urban ambient air PMx, targeted to meet air quality standards and to approach as much as possible the WHO guidelines. A review of results covering the evaluation of (i) the effectiveness of major road traffic measures in Europe, (ii) the effectiveness of road dust suppressants, (iii) the features of biomass burning emissions and the needs for actions to abate them, and (iv) the natural contributions to PM and possible ways to decrease exposure, will be shown.

10:25 Dr James Tate - Institute for Transport, University of Leeds

On road emissions: results from latest remote sensing campaign

10:55 Petter Haugneland - Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association

Electric Vehicles: Norwegian experienceAn overview of the Norwegian EV policy and market - There are now over 60,000 battery electric cars (BEVs) in Norway. So far this year, the BEVs have an 18% market share. The Norwegian EV success story is a reality because of a long term policy which has an incentive package for zero emission cars. High taxes on higher emission cars and zero tax on zero emission cars, have been able to see the BEVs become a true competitor in the Norwegian car market. High customer satisfaction levels have of course also played its part in the rise of electric vehicles with each one sold having an average of three additional cars being bought based on the owner’s recommendation.


11:45 Dr James Cooper - Defra

Meeting the EU N02 limit valueJames’ talk will set out the government’s vision for improving air quality, how this is reflected in our plans and what we are particularly looking for from the consultation.

12:15 Dr Mark Burgess - Oxford Brookes University

Drivers’ perceptions and experience of Electric Vehicles in the UKThis talk will present an overview of our research on the UK-wide Ultra-Low Carbon Vehicle Demonstrator Trial that was supported by Innovate UK (formerly the Technology Strategy Board). The trial involved the most comprehensive psychological study of EV drivers in the largest multi-vehicle, multi-location trial in the world and knowledge transfer to the UK government, policy makers, car manufacturers, energy providers, and transport groups. Some of this talk will highlight the relative merits of “being green” and “being clean”.
