Monitoring air quality & traffic in Cardiff.

The Cardiff case study will primarily explore the interlinkages between road transport and air pollution. Air pollution is linked to a number of health effects including respiratory and cardio-vascular disease and is considered the single largest environmental health risk in Europe. In the UK, one of the dominant sources of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5) is road transport.
