The UK Government’s anticipated failure to meet mandatory European limit values for air quality by the end of 2010 is strengthening awareness at local government level of the need to undertake more stringent management of air quality, including more rigorous review of the air quality impacts of public and private sector development.
At Mouchel we understand our clients' needs as responsible organisations to proactively demonstrate regulatory compliance and maximise opportunities for the enhancement of quality of life for the individuals affected by their projects and policies. Our air quality and odour team understands the potential risks our clients face associated with the late or retroactive consideration of air quality and odour issues, which include high costs and unnecessary delays associated with the appeals process and public inquiry procedures. 
Our clear communication and proactive approach drives early engagement with our clients, enabling our air quality and odour team to provide input at early project design stages. Our timely evaluation of the needs and optimisation of services tailored to provide suitable Air Quality Management solutions offers a robust assessment of design option implications on air quality.
Our clients benefit from reduced costs associated with air quality monitoring equipment hire by taking advantage of our available in-house resources. Clients often take advantage of our ability to deploy these resources at short notice. We can, for instance, deploy equipment for continuous monitoring of particulate matter concentrations for comparison with ambient air quality standards, or passive monitoring of dust deposition and soiling using our Rendel analysis meter, sticky cylinders and frisbee gauges for the evaluation of dust statutory nuisance. Our team has an in-depth knowledge of monitoring equipment and advanced computer modelling software which ensures that the best advice on the design and delivery of suitable assessments and monitoring programmes is always provided. |
