Air Quality Footprinting

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Typically, on a construction site the only monitoring of air quality is through a 24/7 monitor with the aim of warning the project of any spikes in poor local air quality. This contractor has been working with an Air Quality Consultant, supporting them to build specific calculator tools that businesses can use to footprint particulate matter (PM10 &PM2.5) and NOx emissions.

These tools utilise accredited conversion factors to ensure accurate calculation. The contractor utilised available data on NRMM fuel consumption, material transport, waste transport, business travel and heating and power to determine a 2022 air pollution footprint for the project. This data is being reviewed closely to determine opportunities to improve this impact.

The ECTC project has become the first to monitor and footprint specific air pollutants created as a direct result of project operations

Potential for other projects and wider industry to utilise this approach to accurately assess their direct impact to poor air quality through air pollutants generated during project operations.
