Hi all,
ah yes, and following my email, I'd be happy to contribute,
I'm still new to the eccotalk list and not sure how this would work, but do
let me know how to send some money and to who...

Hi all,
just for info, my colleagues are also working on air quality monitoring in
Sheffield as well, collaborating with Clean air Sheffield, so if you like
to read more, see also:

& as for Sheffield you can also already get some real time data and sign
up for email alerts re air quality on

But yes, great idea to put on 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.
