Hi,
I met with Graham Turnbull (air pollution monitors) on Saturday at the Eco Expo
at High Storrs. He said he could possibly come to the next Ecco meeting if we
think it would be helpful.What are your thoughts?
It's unlikely that I can make it because of putting children to bed but I'd
like to discuss the pollution issue with someone who can make the meeting if
that's possible. Would anyone be with an interest in air pollution on Brocco
Bank be available to meet before the next Ecco meeting?
Thanks, Clare Anderson

Unlike publicly funded schools, private schools do not have to present
breakdowns of their pollution impact. With so much of the morning and mid
afternoon traffic consisting of suburban Chelsea tractors containing one child,
maybe our local councillors might be interested in querying this obvious
loophole that allows non residents to import pollution. Certainly our sons
asthma has improved massively now he’s at HBJ rather than walking up and down
past the traffic queues to Broomhill.

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

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.
