    Special episode: Dyson on the importance of indoor air quality

    A special episode of the Air Quality News podcast is now live, in partnership with Dyson. Air Quality News‘ Chloe Coules sat down with Matt Jennings, Category Director of Environmental Care at Dyson, to discuss the importance of indoor air quality and dispel some common myths about the air in our homes and workplaces. Jennings joined Dyson as a design engineer in 2013, where he worked on the first range of air purifiers the company produced. He then took over as the product lead for Dyson Zone air-purifying headphones. As Category Director for Environmental Care at Dyson, the research and development function responsible for air purifiers, cooling fans, heaters, and humidifiers, Jennings is responsible for the future of Dyson’s homes and business indoor air purification solutions, furthering the firm’s involvement in air quality research and supporting air quality education. This podcast explores why it is important to differentiate between indoor and outdoor air quality, and why indoor air quality often does not get as much attention as its counterpart. Jennings also explains how people can find out what air pollutants are present in their homes & workplaces, and discusses whether modern-day air purifiers are effective at dealing with indoor air pollution. ‘It’s really important for people to continue to grow awareness of indoor air quality because it can be so damaging to our health,’ Jennings says.

    Episode 5 - Vincent McInally, Environment and Air Quality Manager at Transport Scotland

    In this episode, editor Chloe Coules speaks to Vincent McInally, Environment and Air Quality Manager at Transport Scotland about the newly introduced Low Emission Zones in four major Scottish cities. Vincent led on work to develop the Low Emission Zones on behalf of Scottish Ministers. ‘What is really different about the Scottish Low Emission Zones compared with probably anywhere else is that there is no ability to pay and enter,’ explains McInally. ‘If your vehicle is non complaint, you should not be bringing it in. If you do get found within a zone in a non-complaint vehicle and it’s not exempt, you get given a fixed penalty notice and that’s £60 when you first get caught.’ When asked why Transport Scotland has taken a non-charging approach, Vincent tells Chloe: ‘We did not want to see businesses or particularly wealthy individuals looking on this as just a cost they could incur to bring in a high-polluting vehicle.’ Vincent also tells Air Quality News what impact we can expect the Low Emission Zones to have on air quality in Scotland. ‘Nobody expects the low emission zones to be the silver bullet that will do everything, and all the local authorities are aware of that. They are probably the single most important or significant action that any of these local authorities will have taken to reduce pollution since the Clean Air Act came in and they were able to ban the burning of coal in the cities, this will be the single most important measure since then,’ argues McInally. ‘I think it will be as significant as the lead being removed from petrol in terms of the difference we should see with [the Low Emission Zones] being introduced in these cities,’ he adds.
