Online training course New approaches to air quality data analytics and pollution source assessment for better air quality management

Course Dates: September 17 - 30, 2021

Air quality monitoring, data generation and analytics is a critical step towards air quality management in cities. Air quality data analytics and pollution source assessment complemented by public health linkages provide crucial evidence in understanding and identifying key air pollution sources, their contribution, hotspot area identification and assessment and formulating source-specific intervention strategies for air pollution mitigation. New approaches and techniques such as advance instruments and satellite-based air quality monitoring, advance source apportionment and integrated emission inventory are emerging globally. Therefore air quality data and analytics understanding, knowledge and skills is imperative to assess source contribution and designing mitigation strategies. This online training course represents our initiative to promote good regulatory practices, enhance knowledge and build capacity on understanding air quality monitoring data analytics and pollution source assessment and deepen understanding within the larger context of air pollution mitigation. This fortnight long course is designed for the regulators, practitioners, professionals, academics etc to understand and build knowledge and insights into the imperative of air quality data and analytics and its linkages to strategies and interventions within the air quality management perspective.
