SUMMARY:Remote sensing of air quality: Measurements\, modelling and applic
 ations - Roland Leigh (University of Leicester)

CONTACT:Dr Amanda Maycock
DESCRIPTION:On average\, air quality reduces life expectancy in the United
  Kingdom by 7-8 months\, and has an economic cost across the European Unio
 n of an estimated €600-800 bn p.a. The ability to measure\, model and ma
 nage air quality in our urban environments is of increasing importance. At
  the University of Leicester\, we have been developing a number of technol
 ogies based around the remote sensing of nitrogen dioxide by scattered sun
 light. These technologies include a ground-based hemispherical scanning im
 ager\, an airborne NO2 mapper delivering data at 20 x 80 m resolution\, an
 d a service which integrates air quality measurements into traffic managem
 ent systems. This presentation will introduce each of these technologies\,
  and explore potential uses of new air quality sensor networks for future 
 city architectures in an urbanising world.
