Researchers will see how Bonfire Night affects air quality across Liverpool.
Researchers from the University of Liverpool will monitor air quality over the weekend to see how Bonfire Night affects the air quality and how long any extra pollution takes to disperse.Every 30 minutes they measure microscopic particles in the air, produced by car exhausts, tyres and brakes, industry and bonfires.It will reveal pollution levels in real-time from Speke to Bootle and other key city centre locations.
The sensors are part of the university's Liverpool Clean Air project to better understand the city's pollution.Dr Jonny Higham said the research will help the team "understand how these pollutants flow and mix across the open environment". Dr Jonny Higham said: "We know that Bonfire Night is a major contributor to air pollution across the city lifting levels to well above recommended limits."Air pollution itself is a real mess and it's really hard to understand how it moves around the city.
He said it would help the team "understand how these pollutants flow and mix across the open environment".
