Hi everyone
I welcome the idea of monitoring the air pollution around the Brocco Bank area
too, especially with the primary school on Sharrowvale Road having one of the
highest pollution rates for a school.
I also wonder whether a possibility exists to suggest the council or others
attempt to exert any influence over the private schools near the Botanical
Gardens. In a morning and to a lesser extent in evenings a significant amount
of traffic on Brocco Bank is caused by parents driving their children to
school. It never ceases to amaze me the significant difference in traffic
levels when the private schools are closed. Many of the vehicles used are 4x4
or similar vehicles which are at a higher end of emissions which will further
compound the problem.
I appreciate this type of change is not easy to implement but I do feel it is a
significant problem.
Kind regards
James

Me too. And I have a garden on Brocco Bank at the exhaust end of the bus stop.

Subject: [eccotalk] Air pollution on Brocco Bank
Hi All,
I have become concerned about the levels of air pollution on Brocco Bank. My
son has developed asthma since starting school and walking up and down Brocco
Bank twice a day during periods of heavy traffic. This may of course be
unrelated but the pollution is certainly there. A man called Graham Turnbull
(who set up Clean Air Sheffield) has developed a device and is measuring
pollution levels around Sheffield. I would be interested in knowing the
levels of pollution on Brocco Bank and in our neighbourhood.
The Clean Air Sheffield Facebook Page states "Sheffield air quality is about
as bad as you would expect for a UK city of its size in 2017. This even
though we have 4 million trees and live on the doorstep of a National Park.
I'm interested in reducing the pollution in Sheffield especially vehicular
emissions of PPMs and NOx which are above legal limits in many areas."
I have recently been in touch with Graham Turnbull and he would be happy to
put a device on Brocco Bank if someone is willing to offer a position (I'm
guessing a front garden near the road). The devices costs around £34. So far
he has been self funding his research but I thought if Ecco could manage to
buy this it would be well worth it.
Any thoughts would be welcome, thanks, Clare Anderson

I have attached a flyer for an event at High Storrs on Sunday where it will
be possible to see the monitors.
