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.
