In particular it has contributed to WG 11 (Diffusive samplers), WG12 (Inorganic reference instruments and benzene) and WG42 (Air Quality Sensors). Highlights include WG11 completing “EN 17346:2020- Ambient air. Standard method for the determination of the concentration of ammonia using diffusive samplers, May 2020” and WG42 has published a Technical Specification for evaluating the performance of low-cost sensors measuring gaseous pollutants (CEN/TS 17660-1:2021). The Clean Air project has provided field data associated with the use of protective shelters for discussion within the working group and its potential inclusion in an informative annex in the revised standard. The new CEN Technical Specification (CEN/TS 17660-1: 2021) establishes an internationally-agreed basis for the performance requirements, and related test protocols, for gaseous air quality sensors in order to meet defined classes of measurement application. As such, they provide the baseline for the developers of new instrumentation and measurement technologies. They also provide a guide to air quality measurement data users in the levels of uncertainty that can be associated with the different measurement classes, and therefore the quality of the data being used as input to their use cases. It additionally allows for a less demanding evaluation of the performance of sensor systems for non-regulatory measurements. The TS defines common procedures and requirements for the evaluation of the performance of sensor systems to facilitate mutual recognition by the relevant regulatory bodies and other stakeholders across Europe, thereby minimising both administrative and cost burdens on manufacturers. | https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/tc/cen/8d2afa77-9367-41b4-862d-fbd106461c00/cen-tc-264 | Measurement Standardisation Wave 1 |

| Clean Air Analysis Framework networks and Consortia | Met Office | National Physical Laboratory - Tom Gardiner | Policy | Jul-22 | A Publicly Available Specification (PAS) is being developed by NPL for Defra (through BSI) titled “Low Cost sensors for Air quality monitoring-- Selection, placement and testing of mountable, static air quality monitors in ambient air - Code of Practice”. The PAS is intended to provide recommendations for the selection, placement and testing of low cost air quality monitors with sensor technology as standalone units or as part of a network of air quality monitors. It will cover monitors which measure gaseous pollutants NO2, NOx, NO, O3, SO2, (CO, CO2, and other GHGs) and particulate matter (PM2.5) and (PM10). The collaborative SPF Clean Air research on air quality sensors is feeding into the content of the PAS. | Observations Monitoring Low cost sensors Wave 2 |

| DIMEX-UK: Data integration model for exposure modelling | Met Office | University of Exeter - Matthew Thomas | Stakeholder engagement | Apr-20 | Collaborating with the Urban Analytics group in the Royal Society Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) initiative. A partnership between academic and private sector researchers developed a novel data driven modelling framework together with a computationally efficient approach to running complex simulation models for the complex links between our daily activities and COVID-19 transmission. The modelling framework was used to demonstrate the power and spatial flexibility of the approach to assess the effects of different interventions in a case study where the effects of the first UK national lockdown are estimated for the county of Devon, including the potential for a lower peak in COVID-19 cases and fewer infections overall during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. For further details see Spooner, F., Abrams, J.F., Morrissey, K., Shaddick, G., Batty, M., Milton, R., Dennett, A., Lomax, N., Malleson, N., Nelissen, N. and Coleman, A., 2021.

| DIMEX-UK: Data integration model for exposure modelling | Met Office | University of Exeter - Matthew Thomas | Economic impact | Apr-22 | A new project, funded by EPSRC through the Alan Turing Institute (ca £440K) builds upon the framework of using agent-based models to simulation the movement of different members of populations through different micro-environments in order to assess the interactions between urban environments, climate change, health and inequalities. The aim is to address the effects of projected increases in urban heat, and determine the different consequences for different population groups, e.g. for some opening a window might not be a solution due to noise or crime; how does access to green space affect health and well-being; how will different occupations be able to adapt to environmental hazards (heat, air pollution etc); what behavioural changes are possible in adapting to major events (pandemics, climate change, extreme weather etc). | Leveraged funding Wave 1 |

| DIMEX-UK: Data integration model for exposure modelling | Met Office | University of Exeter - Matthew Thomas | Policy | Apr-22 | Working with Cornwall County Council, the outputs from DyME-CHH (which uses the underlying modelling framework developed in the DIMEX-UK activity) will feed directly into the The Local Climate Adaptation Tool (LCAT) that supports evidence-based adaptation by local authorities and public bodies. LCAT brings together climate information, adaptation options and health impact evidence to help users understand the health implications of climate change in their local area. Importantly, LCAT also generates recommendations of appropriate adaptation approaches, based on the best available evidence that will support the health and wellbeing of local people. Other examples of intended impact include feeding into the City of Bradford Metropolitan Council’s use of data analytics to provide information on the impacts of climate change and sustainability, and working with the Department for Education who are particularly interested in the role of schools from a context of climate change and sustainability. | https://lcat.uk/ | Adaptation Tool Uptake Local Authority Wave 1 |
| DIMEX-UK: Data integration model for exposure modelling | Met Office | University of Exeter - Matthew Thomas | Stakeholder engagement | Oct-22 | Based on the DIMEX model, meetings with the NERC Digital Solutions team (NERC Digital Solutions Hub Programme) have resulted in an agreement to develop a demonstrator Digital Twin project; built in a trusted environment for merging air quality and health data, using DIMEX as the analytics vehicle for delivering a data driven model of personal exposure. The pilot will be developed for Greater Manchester, connecting the shared community healthcare record with air quality data (modelled, historical and streaming measurements). It is intended that part of this programme of work will include scaling up the computational aspects of DIMEX, hosting it on a robust and sustainable cloud computing platform, and to exploit opportunities for integrating additional data sources. This activity draws together partners in the NHS, Met Office and national service providers. This includes enabling knowledge exchange with a number of stakeholders who wish to also use trusted environments for combining environmental and sensitive health data. This includes JISC who have, as part of the Digital Solutions programme, provided an opportunity to offer up to £160K of cloud compute credits to enable knowledge exchange during this process. | http://www.digital-solutions.uk | Uptake Co-development Digital Twins Local Authority Wave 1 |

Recent discussions were focussed on how to evaluate low cost sensor systems reporting PM10. Many such systems measure PM2.5 and then employ proprietary algorithms, which assume a certain particle distribution to estimate rather than measure PM10. The proposed solution included the use of a ‘PMcoarse’ test in the laboratory, and field tests where ‘PMcoarse’ is known to be present. Compliance with the DQOs will be based on a comparison with the reference method using 24 hour data. | Standard Measurement Monitoring Wave 2 |

| Air Quality Data Portal | Met Office | Met Office - Tom Wilson | Tool | Jun-23 | Developed a proof of concept Air Quality Data Portal with ESRI which is modelled on the Met Office Climate Data Portal. Users can view concentration data on a map and can be filtered to a user defined area. Data can be downloaded in a variety of formats. Have also developed a set of prototype apps which provide different ways of interacting with the air quality data. For example a UK County Explorer maps PM10 concentrations at a county level and shows a list of the most polluted cities. A timeseries app shows daily mean pollutant data for a variety of pollutants. It also visualises data from the MOASA flight. Also has a storymap app which provides background information on a pollutant, datasets and maps of that pollutant and regional analysis to identify hot spots. In this mode you can also compare against other datasets e.g. health data. Next steps are to bring this to the status of an operationally accepted, externally visible Met Office system. Likely to be complete by end of 2023. | MO_Air Quality Data Portal Report.pdf | |

| Clean Air Analysis Framework networks and Consortia | Met Office | National Physical Laboratory - Tom Gardiner | New Knowledge | Dec-23 | A metrology case study comparing practical and theoretical uncertainties for diffusive NO2 measurements, including the impact of sensor design and mounting, has been completed and a scientific paper drafted which will be submitted for peer-review soon. The key conclusions from the study are that the design of the UUNN tubes has better performance than the PDT tubes, however the performance of PDT tubes can be improved by mounting in a shelter. These improvements are driven by the tube and shelter design reducing the effect of wind on the measurements, however, the results of the uncertainty assessment indicate that, while the effect of wind has been significantly reduced in the field, it has not been eliminated for either the UUNN tubes or sheltered PDT tubes. | ||
| Clean Air Analysis Framework networks and Consortia | Met Office | National Physical Laboratory - Tom Gardiner | Engagement | Dec-23 | A technical workshop between the NPL Clean Air Programme team and the Support for National Air Pollution Control Strategies (SNAPCS) team was held at Imperial College in October 2023, aimed at identifying whether modelled and measured uncertainties can be linked in a useful way which improves our interpretation and/or communication of uncertainties, and to identify suitable case studies to demonstrate the value of any methods considered useful. The main outputs were that the NPL team would lead a Case Study on uncertainty propagation within the UK Integrated Assessment Model (UKIAM) while the SNAPCS team would lead a Case Study evaluating the potential significance of measurement uncertainties for a future scenario which is predicted by the UKIAM model to meet the population exposure reduction targets (PERT) and annual mean concentration targets (AMCT). Two potential further case studies were also identified covering the investigation of the different sources and relative contributions of uncertainty in cost-benefit analysis and a more detailed investigation of the uncertainties in road transport emissions. | ||

| Clean Air Analysis Framework networks and Consortia | Met Office | National Physical Laboratory - Tom Gardiner | Stakeholder Engagement | Dec-23 | The Publicly Available Specification (PAS) document on the selection, deployment and quality control of low-cost air quality sensor systems in outdoor ambient air has been officially published. The NPL team have been working with the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), the British Standards Institute (BSI) and a steering group of leading technical experts and stakeholders to write a code of practice on the selection, deployment, and quality control of low-cost air quality sensor systems. The PAS took 18 months to complete its development following scientific reviews and a public consultation, and the collaborative SPF Clean Air research on AQ sensors has fed into its content. PAS-4023 was published on 20th December 2023 and provides advice to users employing low-cost sensor systems for ambient monitoring applications. This new technology is expected to enable outdoor air pollution to be measured with rapid response times ranging from a few tens of seconds to a few minutes, and with a higher spatial density than is possible with the current more expensive reference methods. The code of practice is intended to be widely disseminated to users with varied levels of monitoring experience ranging from “citizen scientists” to Local Authorities performing screening assessments for planning applications and other Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) activities. For this reason, PAS-4023 can be downloaded at zero cost from the BSI website | https://knowledge.bsigroup.com/products/selection-deployment-and-quality-control-of-low-cost-air-quality-sensor-systems-in-outdoor-ambient-air-code-of-practice?version=standard. | |

| Indoor Air Quality Emissions & Modelling System | Met Office | University of Birmingham - Christian Pfrang | Tool | Sep-23 | A Chem-LES tool has been built designed to simulate chemical reactions occurring among different gases explictly and within an indoor environment. It has been built upon the Met Office in-house code Mul/flow3D, and incorporates a chemical modelling framework developed within WP2 and integrates gas and surface chemical reactions of key pollutants. A test case, incorporating both surface and gas chemical reactions in a room has been simulated and successfully demonstrates the generation of a second pollutant after the chemical reaction occurs upon O3 coming into contact with squalene on a surface. Next steps are for the tool to be used to identify key pollutants and chemical reactions in common indoor scenarios, including offices, kitchens, schools, and hospitals. The datasets created will be used to investigate the influence of key features such as ventilation systems, temperature, filters, etc. | https://metoffice-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/nick_hopkins-bond_metoffice_gov_uk/EWtzqv2QX7VMn7rIPdwDnNsBxTIiCvKYI5O-b-0zy7WiWA?email=jamie.mitchell%40metoffice.gov.uk&e=kz09sg | |
