Using green infrastructure to improve urban air quality (GI4AQ)
As evidence for the devastating impacts of air pollution on human health continues to increase, improving urban air quality has become one of the most pressing tasks facing policy makers world-wide. Increasingly, and very often on the basis of conflicting and/or weak evidence, the introduction of green infrastructure (GI) is seen as a win-win solution to urban air pollution, reducing ground-level concentrations without imposing restrictions on tr…
Urban form strongly mediates the allometric scaling of airshed pollution concentrations
We present allometric-scaling relationships between non-point-source emissions of air pollutants and settlement population, using 3030 urban settlements in Great Britain (home to ca. 80% of the population of that region). Sub-linear scalings (slope 0.6) were found for the oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) and microscopic airborne particles (PM 10 and PM 2.5 ). That is, emissions of these pollutants from larger cities are lower per capita than would be e…
Current global food production is sufficient to meet human nutritional needs in 2050 provided there is radical societal adaptation
We present a quantitative analysis of global and regional food supply to reveal the flows of calories, protein and the micro-nutrients vitamin A, iron and zinc, from production through to human consumption and other end points. We quantify the extent to which reductions in the amount of human-edible crops fed to animals and, less importantly, reductions in waste, could increase food supply. The current production of crops is sufficient to provide…
Greenhouse gas emissions of food waste disposal options for UK retailers
Effectiveness of Green Infrastructure for Improvement of Air Quality in Urban Street Canyons
Street-level concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) and particulate matter (PM) exceed public health standards in many cities, causing increased mortality and morbidity. Concentrations can be reduced by controlling emissions, increasing dispersion, or increasing deposition rates, but little attention has been paid to the latter as a pollution control method. Both NO(2) and PM are deposited onto surfaces at rates that vary according to the nat…
