Speakers:
Prof David Fowler, NERC Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Edinburgh and Chair Of RoTAP
Prof Martin Williams, Environmental Research Group, King’s College London & Chair of UNECE Convention

A new Defra-commissioned report from the NERC Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, the Review of Transboundary Air Pollution (RoTAP), examines the trends in emission, concentration and deposition of the main atmospheric pollutants, focusing on the environmental effects rather than the human health implications.

The Chair of the review team and the Chair of the UNECE Convention on Long Range Transport of Air Pollution came to the SMC to explain the findings and policy implications.
