The Love Design Studio Air Quality team deliver essential air quality environmental services to planning teams, local authorities, and homeowners.
Air pollution is the presence of harmful substances, a blend of particles and gases in the air, posing risks to human health. These pollutants emanate from both natural processes and human activities, such as vehicles, roadworks and industry.
Air quality consultants in the UK play a crucial role in addressing and managing the various challenges associated with air pollution.
9,400 premature deaths
In London, 9,400 premature deaths are attributed to poor air quality and it is estimated to cost between £1.4 and £3.7 billion a year to the health service.
The UK has strict regulations in place to control air pollution and protect public health. Air quality consultants help businesses, local authorities, and other stakeholders ensure compliance with these regulations, avoiding legal issues and penalties.
Poor air quality has significant health implications. Love Design Studio take a science-based approach by using air quality data, identifying potential health risks, and recommending measures to mitigate these risks. This is particularly important in urban areas where air pollution can have a direct impact on the well-being of residents.
