Air Quality

• Issue - Air Quality is persistent problem at national and localscales, with significant financial and health impacts.• Estimated UK cost of £20 Billion/year.

• Second biggest health risk after smoking.

• World’s largest single environmental health risk.

• LAs have statutory duties to review and assess Air Quality andneed to make decisions on sound data. BUT there are limiteddynamic data at fine spatial resolution.

Cost and Benefits

• Possibility of further empowering LAs to substantially reduceeconomic and human health affects of poor Air Quality for low cost.

• Allows user organisation to integrate data and information with localAir Quality data including satellite derived data.

• Enables better decision making for:-• AQ Sensor positioning• Health• Traffic• Planning ….

• Potentially Hot Spot Mapper offers low cost (open source),technically inclusive, efficient tool for end users that with correctdevelopment will give broad user capability.

• Costs of further research and development not envisaged as high.Current work includes planning of further development and businessmodel.

Development and Next Steps

• Complete current phase.

• Further stakeholder engagement to better define representation and information and data of interest.

• Develop business model – software, data and/or service provision, process.

• Further research and development towards deployable demonstrator followed by full product deployment.

In action

Over 70% funding from regional sources

Competition to host regional Centres of Excellence (CoE) was launched in

December 2013, with the first three Centres operating from April 2014. The North East

Lead: Business Durham

Focus: Maritime and Transport

The East Midlands

Lead: University of Leicester

Partners: University of Nottingham

British Geological Survey

Focus: Transport and Sustainable Living

Scotland

Lead: University of Strathclyde

Partners: University of Edinburgh

Focus: Offshore Energies & Maritime

Regional Centres of Excellence

The Role of the Regional Centres of Excellence

To reflect the aim and vision of the Catapult, each Centre will:

• Support industry and academia across the UK to accelerate

the growth of satellite applications

• Create a focal point of activity linking the science base,

industry and academia across the UK

• Enable the development of applications and solutions

through engagement with the wider end user markets

• Act as a representative and ambassador for the Catapult in

their local regions.
