Levoglucosan generated through biomass burning can be used to calculate wood burning fraction of PM2.5.\\r • Using filters placed in two or more locations, the contribution of wood burning to atmospheric aerosol can be identified.\\r \\r - Conducting detailed analysis of AQ monitor and map data and supporting traffic and wood burning fraction data, developing data-based public engagement strategies\\r \\r Due to previous joint working, where this project builds on work completed together from 2019/20 - 2020/21, together with time constraints between being awarded the funding and starting the project, the best course of action would be to secure services of UoL and to apply for the waiver. Without this the project will not be able to be successfully delivered which in turn is likely to negatively impact outcomes of our future bids for Defra grants.
