Air Quality
We offer expertise in air quality and airborne pollutants, covering:
- Identification, quantification and effects of criteria air contaminants such as carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, volatile organic compounds, particulate matter and ground-level ozone
- Relationships between emissions, concentration and cumulative effects
- Reduction potential of contaminant sources such as cleaner-burning fuels, cleaner combustion technologies, industrial process measures and policy/program implementation
- Movement of airborne substances via contaminant transport mechanisms and potential for soil and water deposition
- Detection technologies, techniques and uncertainties
- Assessment techniques, methodologies and appropriate use of simulation and modeling tools
- Implications such as smog, acid rain, environmental degradation, human health impacts and costs
