Short Course Description
This dynamic 3-day interactive course is designed to provide a practical, hands-on understanding of ammonia air quality pollution. With a focus on how ammonia is measured and the real-world application of the principles, participants will gain the tools necessary to inform and support regulatory decisions effectively. You’ll learn how ammonia emissions impact sensitive ecosystems, the methods used to measure ammonia, and how to connect measurement data to regulatory frameworks and local assessments.
Day 1:
- Understanding ammonia as an atmospheric pollutant: sources, legislation, and mitigation strategies.
- Impact of ammonia on ecosystems and air quality.
- Practical overview of emissions modelling and its integration with measurement techniques.
- Exercise: Communicating ammonia science to stakeholders.
Day 2:
- Techniques and best practices for measuring ammonia in air.
- Designing and conducting effective ammonia experiments.
- Practical exercise: Developing your own ammonia experiment.
Day 3:
- Future developments in ammonia science and measurement techniques.
- Field site visit: Practical application of measurement techniques at a designated site.
- Wrap-up session: Embedding learning and preparing for real-world applications.
- By the end of the course, you will have a basic understanding of ammonia as an air pollutant. You will also have an appreciation of how ammonia is measured and how measurement data may be used in effects assessments.
