Zongbo Shi, Professor of Atmospheric Biogeochemistry at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birmingham.ac.uk\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">University of Birmingham<\/a>, commented: \u201cAir pollution is the biggest environmental risk in the UK, leading to significant health inequalities and costing the country\u2019s economy some \u00a320bn every year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdding mobile \u2018supersite observatories\u2019 to the monitoring capacity provided by our fixed sites will take our capability for quantifying air pollution sources and processes to the next level and consolidating Britain\u2019s world-leading position in this field. This exciting development will produce policy-relevant science with significant impact\u2013 \u00a0informing air quality policy and helping to account for imported emissions.
