An evaluation of meteorological data needs for urban pollution modelling
… in the United Kingdom as part of their urban air quality management programmes. Output from dispersion models now forms a vital part of any environmental impact assessment, road improvement or traffic management scheme or environmental health study. This study is centred primarily on …

Exhausted with Emissions: Exploring the Link Between Anthropogenic Emissions and Urban Pollution on Public Health
In the first study, we investigate how reducing transportation emissions and other anthropogenic emissions of NOx affects local and national public health in two heavily populated and polluted areas: Los Angeles, CA and New York City, NY. We estimate the Tipping Point (TP) as well as the Break-Even …

China Urban Pollution Information Disclosure Study (CUPIDS) : socioeconomic implications of dirty industry and a guide to national cleandustrialization
… is polluted. In this paper I develop a simple pollution intensity index to test China's existing national and local environmental data, to answer the questions: "Bad" how? "Polluted" why? And finally: what can be done? I find that China's existing data is rudimentary, piecemeal, and inaccurate. …

Microplastics in Urban Environments: Distribution, Fate, and Transport
… a growing environmental concern, particularly in urban areas where anthropogenic activities intensify their presence in ecosystems. This research investigates MPs’ distribution, fate, and transport in urban environments, focusing on stormwater retention (SWR) ponds, bioretention systems (BRS), and …

Soundscapes as Urban Transformation: Introducing a notational language that represents the shifting relationships between sound, space, and movement
… that can reveal the complexity of cities, urban planners typically turn to the physical attributes of the built environment alone to design them. Instead, this research views cities as a system of continuous, temporal changes that determine how people actually experience and move through …

A CFD Study of Pollution Dispersion in Street Canyon and Effects of Leaf Hair on PM2.5 Deposition
… 55% of the world's population currently lives in urban areas and which is projected to increase to 67% by 2050. Thus, it is imperative that effective strategies are developed to mitigate urban pollution. Complementing field experiments, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses are becoming an …

Solid transport in combined sewerage systems
… Centre (WRc) under the auspices of the UK Urban Pollution Management (UPM) programme to study all aspects of sediments in sewers. The work of the Wastewater Technology Centre (WWTC) of the University of Abertay Dundee (UAD) has made a major contribution to this aspect of the UPM programme. …

Human health impacts of high altitude emissions
… conditions and used in simulations of remote and urban pollution. This extended model, the GEOS-Chem UCX, can propagate a stratospheric perturbation through to a tropospheric impact, including shortwave UV fluxes, long-lived species, stratospheric water chemistry and high altitude aerosols. This …

Near bed solids transport in combined sewers
… Research Group, which originally reported to the Urban Pollution Management (UPM) Programme Steering Group. The work of the Wastewater Technology Centre, at University of Abertay Dundee, has been fundamental in collecting data for the UPM programme over the last 10 years, and the work presented in …

The movement of cohesive sediment in a large combined sewer
… tools to manage these problems. Under the Urban Pollution Management Research Programme the major aspects of sediments in sewers have been studied and their effects included in new methodologies and tools.<br/><br/>Most studies in the U.K. and elsewhere have concentrated on the movement of …

Total emission analysis of sewerage systems and wastewater treatment plants
… intermittent combined sewage discharges into urban watercourses in the UK is given in the Urban Pollution Management (UPM) manual. The method is based on the use of detailed computer models of the sewerage system, wastewater treatment plant and receiving watercourse. Solving intermittent …

Application of Mineral Magnetic Measurements as a Pollution Proxy for Urban Road Deposited Sediment
… Sediment (RDS) is an important pathway of pollution material in the urban environment. Traditional particulate matter (PM) monitoring methods are typically expensive and time consuming. To date, urban sediment studies have not fully explored the application of mineral magnetic technologies …
