1st International Conference on “Harbours and Air Quality” 15-17 June 2005, Genova, Italy The Department of Physics of the University of Genoa and the Port Authority of Genoa supported by the European Association for the Science of Air Pollution (EURASAP) are organizing this conference. Please see the flyer for further information. For further information, please directly contact Dr. Elisa Canepa, email: elisa.canepa@fisica.unige.it. Air Pollution - What Do You Think? 7 December 2004 The European Commission is writing an action plan to improve air quality in Europe. It will include measures having a direct influence on our day to day life. The way we move, the way we produce and use energy, the air quality we want, the price of products and services are all at issue in this plan. Therefore your opinion on air pollution and its effects is of great importance. The Commission's consultation will remain open until 31 January 2005. The results will be published in March 2005. Your answers will remain totally anonymous, except for the organisations choosing to give their name. 5th International Conference on Urban Air Quality 24 August 2004 The conference to be held in Valencia, Spain during 29-31 March 2005. A flyer for the conference is available here and further details be found at http://www.urbanairquality.org. New policy co-ordinator at London House in Brussels 2 July 2004 The Mayor of London is hosting an event for cities to discuss the problems and solutions to air quality in urban areas, part of the 13th World Clean Air and Environmental Protection Congress and Exhibition. The meeting will discuss the practical problems confronting European cities in meeting mandatory air quality targets, as well as looking at European experience and that of elsewhere in the world. This is part of a two day event, the programme for which is available here. The first day is a conference at a London hotel, and there is a registration fee. The second day is at City Hall in London and is free of charge. More information is available here.

UK heatwave pollution "Killed 800 People" Environment Daily 1589, 16/01/04 Soaring air pollution in the UK during last August's heatwave killed an estimated 800 people, the government has revealed. Ozone levels reached record highs due to the hot weather. Levels of fine particulates (PM10) also rose sharply, though overall numbers of days of poor urban air quality were lower than in 1993. Deaths attributed to air pollution in early August were nearly 80% higher than in the same period in 2002. The finding suggests that air pollution caused up to 40% of extra deaths during the heatwave.
