Dispersion of Air Pollution Penetration into
the Local Environment
DAPPLE is a collaborative research project,
involving leading UK universities, aiming to
answer important questions about air quality near
busy urban roads, such as What controls
the amount of pollution to which people are
exposed? Can we get cleaner air at
the same time as improving traffic flow, or
or do these objectives inevitably conflict?
What kind of tools do we need to assess localised
pollution hotspots? Can the same tools be
used for assessing emission from light industry
or the impact of accidental or terrorist
releases of toxic or flammable gases? Field
measurements will be made around the junction of
Marylebone Road and Gloucester Place in Central
London. For further information contact Project
