On what air quality management topic can we help you with?

Target Users

The target users of the IBAQ City Solutions Toolkit are local government personnel responsible for addressing urban air pollution and air quality management. Toolkits under different Guidance Areas would be most helpful to users with the specific backgrounds outlined below.

Air Quality Monitoring and Ambient Air Quality Standards, Emissions Inventories, Modeling

Target users are AQM practitioners performing air quality monitoring, data handling, emissions inventories development and air quality modeling. These include air quality managers and technical officers from the local government, researchers, and other Results from AQM activities will be used in baselining, setting air quality goals and emission reduction targets, and in evaluating impact of control measures implemented.

Health Impacts Assessment

Target users include health administrators and technical officers from the local government, medical professionals, and researchers focusing on the impacts of air pollution on health and the environment, especially in relation to the monitored levels of pollutants. Results of health and environmental impact assessments can be used as input data in estimating the economic cost of air pollution or in cost-benefit analyses of specific pollution control measures.

Clean Air Action Planning, Co-benefits

Target users include air quality managers, administrators and technical officers from local government agencies who are involved in AQM, policymakers and other AQM stakeholders (universities and research institutions, non-government organizations, private sector, community groups or associations) focused on the development of policies, projects and implementation plans related on reducing emissions, mitigation negative impacts of air pollution and improving overall AQM.
