Air Pollution from High-rise Construction in Rotterdam: Comparison of black carbon (BC), ultrafine (UFP)and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) ambient concentrations from conventional and biobased (Cross-Laminated Timber CLT) construction methods

This research addresses the challenge of climate change and air quality, focusing on the construction industry's impact in the Netherlands. The construction sector, a significant source of air pollution, necessitates sustainable practices for mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing pollutants. The study emphasises the need for...

Pollution dispersion from highways: Enhancing particulate matter capture using aerodynamics

People living or working close to the highways are at risk to higher exposure levels of different air pollutants, one of which is particulate matter. The Antea group has recently proposed the addition of Electrostatic Precipitators (or ESPs) on the top of sound barriers adjacent to highways, in order to capture the particulate matter and safely...
