Day 2 (25th May) IAPSC ambient air pollution monitoring - £155 +VAT (non-members). Attendance may be more cost-effective by joining IAPSC – see www.iapsc.org.uk.


EarthSense will launch the new Zephyr air pollution monitor, which featured in the BBC ‘so I can breathe’ campaign, and Enviro Technology’s stand will feature the latest technology for direct NO2


Turnkey Instruments will unveil the new iGAS internet gas monitor containing multiple gas sensors and suitable for both outdoor environmental and indoor air quality monitoring.


AQE 2017 Workshops AQE 2017 Exhibition


The second day of AQE 2017 will also feature a Conference with an emissions monitoring theme. The Organics Recycling Group of the Renewable Energy Association will run a morning seminar on ‘Controlling and Monitoring Emissions on Waste Management Sites.’ Rupert Standring from the Environment Agency will explain the new M9 Technical Guidance for monitoring Bioaerosols, and Catherine Rolph from the Open University will outline Worker Protection Strategies against bioaerosols. A speaker from Odournet will describe the design and maintenance of biofilters for effective odour mitigation, and Jennifer Watts will describe the legal obligations of a site operator for emissions control and odour monitoring.


Day 2 (all day): Investigation of Air Pollution Standing Conference (IAPSC)


By registering at www.AQEShow.com visitors will be provided with free access to the AQE 2017 Exhibition with over 90 stands featuring most of the world’s leading providers of monitoring equipment and service providers, in addition to regulators and accreditation organisations. Many of the exhibitors will launch new products and services at the event, and visitors may be interested to learn that GCE have improved and extended their Buzz Wire Game and ORBITAL will run a prize competition to guess the mileage of a Yamaha FS1E (Fizzy) motorbike.


Exhibition - new in emissions monitoring


Operating from four rooms within the exhibition hall, free walk-in/walk-out workshops will run throughout both days of the event. The theme of the first day’s workshops will be ambient air quality with subjects covering new technologies, mobile techniques and the relationship between outdoor and indoor air quality. The theme of the second day’s workshops will be emissions monitoring, covering topics such as regulatory compliance, new technologies, portable monitors and problematic species.


Gala Dinner and Awards


measurement, particulates and ozone. The company’s ‘Smogmobile’ will also be on display - a zero emission mobile air quality monitoring laboratory.


Developed in partnership with IAPSC (Investigation of Air Pollution Standing Conference), there will be three sessions covering: pervasive air quality monitoring; vehicle emissions monitoring and data management; and local air quality management and policy.


The first two presentations of the morning will provide information on pervasive monitoring in two Local Authority case studies. The first, provided by Prof. Rod Jones from the University of Cambridge, will describe the large scale deployment of sensors, and the second, provided by Dr Nicola Courthold and Robin Spalding from Bath and North East Somerset Council, will focus on air quality sensors. Continuing the pervasive monitoring theme, James Neasham from Envirowatch Ltd will explain its role in local air quality management and intervention measures.


Traffic is responsible for most urban pollution problems so Jon Andersson from Ricardo UK will deliver a presentation on Real World Emissions – the use of PEMS on heavy duty vehicles to assess the impact of technology and driving conditions on air quality in urban areas. Dr James Tate from the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds will then describe the use of telematics data to research traffic-related air pollution.


After lunch Dr Tom Stenhouse from AECOM will present a case study on local plan development allocations, and Matthew O’Neill from Transport for Greater Manchester will then explain the initiatives that his organisations has taken to reduce air pollution. Roger Pitman from TRL will pose the question: What makes a good air quality annual status report? and the day will conclude with a presentation by Chris Large from Global Action Plan on ‘National Clean Air Day: one day to inspire years of action.’


Pre-registered visitors to AQE 2017 will benefit from free parking, refreshments and lunch, and free access to the AQE 2017 Exhibition and Workshops. However, there are charges for attending the Conferences:


Quantitech, which is now a Gasmet company, will launch a new integrated continuous emissions monitoring capability in addition to a new range of portable and fixed FID analysers, and a new range of laser gas analysers. Axetris will launch a new laser gas module for measuring low range HCl, and Protea will demonstrate the Dadolab range of isokinetic sampling equipment, in addition to new AIR-IQ software for the real-time determination of gas concentrations in FTIR or Mass Spectrum data.


SW Technology sagl will unveil two new analysers for measuring ammonia and oxygen with hot CEMS extractive systems. Experts from Uniper will be available to discuss their range of environmental planning and permitting services, and NPL will launch a new ‘Gases and Particulate Simulator’ which simulates emissions at customisable gas and particle concentrations, flow, temperature and water content for instrument development and training.


Exhibition - new in ambient air quality monitoring


Air Monitors will feature new technologies for monitoring gases and particles in both indoor and outdoor air. New products on show will include the FIDAS Frog and the Pegasor in addition to new Aethalometers. Cooper Environmental will launch the next generation multi-metals ambient monitor, and Horiba will announce the release of their new continuous particulate and metals monitor the PX-375 for monitoring PM2.5, PM10 and Total Suspended Particulate Matter as well as the elemental composition of dust.


A Gala Dinner will take place at the Telford International Centre on the evening of Wednesday 24th May, during which there will be presentations for the ‘Golden Stack Award,’ sponsored by the Source Testing Association (STA), and the new ‘Golden (AQ) Site Award’ sponsored by Air Monitors and awarded to the best ambient air quality monitoring site.


Summarising the importance of the event, Marcus Pattison says: “Global efforts to lower CO2


levels of particulates and NO2


emissions have resulted in higher in urban areas, and some of the


particulate reduction techniques result in higher levels of NO2 . It


is clear therefore, particularly in the light of the vehicle emissions scandal, that monitoring has a vital role to perform; helping to: check emissions compliance; detect trends; check levels against air quality limits; assess the effectiveness of air quality initiatives; identify pollution hotspots and generate alarms when levels are exceeded.


“AQE 2017 provides an opportunity for experts from around the world to meet and share knowledge so that the quality and reliability of monitoring can continue to improve.


“With 3 conferences, over 30 workshops and a large international exhibition, attendees will have to plan their time carefully if they are to make the most of everything on offer. As a result, AQE 2017 visitors will be extremely busy and we are greatly looking forward to welcoming them to Telford!”
