Air Pollution Research In London
Sources of particles from a vehicle
exhaust
brake wear
resuspension
tyre wear
road surface wear
Emissions dependent upon
• vehicle speed (resuspension, tyre and road surface wear)
• engine revs and load (exhaust)
• driving mode (exhaust, brake, tyre, road surface)
• materials (brakes, tyres, road surface)
• fuel and lubricant (exhaust)
• vehicle weight and aerodynamics (resuspension)
• road surface silt loading (resuspension)

ACTUAL
Advanced Climate Technology Urban Atmospheric Laboratory
(5 years, started March 2009)
“Buildings don’t just withstand climate, they change it”
Aim: to challenge urban engineering practice
by incorporating urban climate knowledge
Funded by EPSRC under the Challenging Engineering programme
Measurement sites
(REPARTEE I & II)
Regent’s Park
BT Tower
REPARTEE campaign 2007
Regents Park
DAPPLE roof site
Lidar Site
c. 1.6 km
BT Tower
Aim:
Intensive observations
of aerosols, trace
gases and boundary
layer dynamics to
quantify variability in
urban pollutants due to
both chemical and
meteorological
processes.
Special Issue in
Atmospheric Chemistry
and Physics!
• Collaborators: Birmingham, York, Manchester, Salford (FGAM),
Reading, CEH, Lancaster, Leicester, Cambridge, Environment Agency,
Bristol

Site geometry
– Buildings
different
heights so
expect
asymmetries.
• Open arc may
add to
complexity.
• Site 2 further
into canyon
than site 1.
