If you wish to book onto 1 or All 5 Days please see 'How to Apply' on our website.

What does it cover?

This course provides an understanding of the theory and practice of using dispersion models to replicate the behaviour of pollution in the atmosphere. The course will explain the rationale behind air quality modelling using examples of particular models to describe the ways in which they are used and highlight some of the potential limitations and problems associated with them.

The course also provides a basic introduction to model input data, the basic principles and assumptions involved and the concepts of model validation, verification and adjustment, including worked examples of a modelling scenario in ADMS-Roads and the verification and adjustment process. 

This course would be of value to anyone interested or involved in the use of local-scale atmospheric dispersion modelling.

Who is it for?

The courses will be of interest to practitioners and policy makers involved in air quality management in:

•         Environmental health/protection
•         Public health
•         Transport
•         Land-use planning

There are no formal entry requirements for participants wishing to undertake this course as a stand-alone CPD.

Participants receive a UWE Certificate of Attendance (CPD 5hrs p/day), which can be presented to IES
