Watch: Expert Breaks Down the Impact of Lockdown on Air Quality

At ILM's Air Quality and Emissions (AQE) event, Amy Stidworthy of Cambridge Environmental Research Consultants Ltd. (CERC) gave an overview of CERC's investigation of London's air quality in the wake of lockdowns in the United Kingdom, exploring an important new method for data analysis and revealing interesting fluctuations in the concentration of nitrogen oxides. Click here to watch a recording of Amy's lecture.

Other topics include:

• Why lockdown enabled CERC to analyse the effects of large-scale reduction in transport activity on air quality
• Details of CERC's inversion scheme
• How could NOx concentrations appear to be lower after restrictions were removed than they were under the most severe restrictions?
• Ongoing attempts to quantify the effects of lockdown on PM2.5 using CERC's inversion scheme
