International Conference on Urban Air Quality – Nicosia, 27-29 March 2007 27-03-2007 Introduction The International Conference on Urban Air Quality (UAQ2007) is organised by
University of Hertfordshire and University of Cyprus jointly with ACCENT, COST
728, Cyprus International Institute for the Environment and Public Health in
Association with Harvard School of Public Health. It seeks to develop strategies
to balance growth and maintaining and improving air quality standards.
Description
Air pollution remains a key issue for achieving sustainable development of
cities. Our urban areas are continuing to grow in terms of population,
transport, energy consumption and utilities. This growth is having local impacts
in terms of exposure to high concentrations near streets as well as impacts on
regional and global scales including climate change. Consequently, the need for
improved understanding of the science of urban air pollution remains a priority
for the wider scientific community. Despite improvements in technology, users
still require new, robust management and assessment tools to formulate effective
control policies and strategies.
UAQ2007 brings together scientists and other stakeholders from the across the
globe to discuss the latest advances in our understanding of air pollution and
its impacts on urban areas. The conference will also seek to highlight
developments in management strategies and assessment tools for policy and
decision makers.
