23 November 2015

Aether has been commissioned to undertake detailed air quality assessments for a number of proposed free schools across London and the South East. The main objective is to ensure that the planned site layouts are adequate in terms of preventing exposure of staff and students to any harmful pollutant concentration levels that may occur, predominantly as a result of traffic sources on the surrounding road networks.
