Sites to Assess Stratford Gyratory System

In 2018-2019 the Council in conjunction with Transport for London undertook a major reconstruction of the Stratford Gyratory system to improve the pedestrian and cycling environment. This involves turning Great Eastern Road, The Grove and the Broadway back into two way roads and providing more road space for pedestrians and cyclists. To assess the air quality impacts of the scheme monitoring was started at 4 locations on the system before works commenced. It is hoped that air pollution levels for the year 2020 (the first full year of operation) will show a decrease in pollution. No monitoring was undertaken during 2018 as any results would have been impacted by the construction works

1.2 Comparison of Monitoring Results with AQOs

The 2018 results presented are bias adjusted. No annualisation or distance correction was required as the data capture was greater than 75% at all locations, and monitoring locations with an annual mean concentration greater than 36μg m-3 are located at the relevant public exposure. The details of bias adjustment factors are described in Appendix A.

Commentary Both roadside and background monitoring sites run by Newham Council are showing a slow decline in NO2 levels. Away from major roads NO2 is consistently below National Air Quality Objective levels

Appendix A Details of Monitoring Site QA/QC A.1 Automatic Monitoring Sites The two sites are representative of relevant exposure in Newham. The sites are connected to the London Air Quality Network and therefore the standards of QA/QC are similar to those of the government’s AURN sites. Fortnightly calibrations are carried out by a council air quality officer and independent audits are undertaken through a data management and QA/QC contract. NPL through a Ricardo AEA contract.

PM10 Monitoring Adjustment The TG16 guidance highlights that any PM10 monitoring undertaken must conform to criteria relating to the gravimetric European reference method or its approved equivalent, the Council uses FDMS analysers at Wren Road between 01/01/2018 and 17/05/2018 and at Cam Road between 01/01/2018 and 26/04/2018, which were found to be equivalent. Whilst heated BAM 1020 analysers were used at Wren Road and Cam Road from 17th May 2018 and 18th May 2018 respectively. The correction factor has been applied to BAM data.

A.2 Diffusion Tube Quality Assurance / Quality Control The diffusion tubes were exposed as a part of the London Wide Environment Programme (LWEP) and the network included sites both within and outside of the AQMA. The monitoring also included a co-located site with the Cam Road automatic monitoring station. The co-located site had three tube exposures. The bias adjustment factors below are derived from this co-location study and the National Diffusion Tube Bias Adjustment Factor where studies use the same analytical method and laboratory. The diffusion tubes were supplied and analysed by Gradko International Ltd, with a preparation method using 50% TEA in acetone. Gradko is a UKAS accredited laboratory and participates in the new AIR-PT Scheme (a continuation of the Workplace Analysis Scheme for Proficiency (WASP)) for NO2 tube analysis and the Annual Field Inter-Comparison Exercise. These provide strict performance criteria for participating laboratories to meet, thereby ensuring NO2 concentrations reported are of a high calibre. The lab follows the procedures set out in the Harmonisation Practical Guidance In the latest available AIR-PT results, AIR-PT AR 0024 (January to February 2019), AIR-PT AR025 (April to May 2019), AIR-PT AR027 (July to August 2019), AIR-PT AR028 (September to October 2019) and AIR- PT AR030 (January to February 2019). Gradko has scored 100% on all results in 2019. The percentage score reflects the results deemed to be satisfactory based upon the z-score of < ± 2. The national bias adjustment factor was 0.87, which was derived from 8 studies nationwide (https://laqm.defra.gov.uk/bias-adjustment-factors/national-bias.html).

London Borough of Newham has triplicate tubes located at Cam Road (NM2). A bias adjustment factor of 0.86 was derived from the National Diffusion Tube Bias Adjustment Factor (which also included the NM2 study using twelve periods of data with good diffusion tube precision and good data capture for the 2019 monitoring period (see A.1 ).

London City Airport utilised a triplicate tube colocation study. A National Diffusion Tube Bias Adjustment Factor was not used. The resulting bias adjustment factor for 2019 was 0.80.

The Newham Schools study was analysed by Bureau Veritas. The bias adjustment was carried out using a factor obtained from the co-location study at Cam Road. A National Diffusion Tube Bias Adjustment Factor was not used because it was not available at the time of the study publication. The resulting bias adjustment factor for 2019 was 0.81.

Notes: Bias adjustment was carried out using a local bias adjustment factor obtained from a co-location study at Cam Road. Annualisation was completed using four nearby, urban background sites with >85% data capture: Wren Close – Newham, Camden – Bloomsbury, Tower Hamlets – Millwall Park, Tower Hamlets – Victoria Park and Waltham Forest Leyton. ‘-‘shows that result is not available, this is because tube was missing when collection attempted at the end of the monitoring period. ‘*’ shows that the result appears to be anomalous although no comments were made during laboratory analysis, due to this the result has been excluded in average calculations. ‘#’ shows that the result was not annualised due to low data capture, therefore only bias adjusted. Values stated in red indicate that the results are compromised due to the diffusion tube containing spiders/nests/webs or other materials, due to this the result has been excluded in average calculations. Values in italics are within 10% of the annual mean objective of 40μg/m3, values in bold are exceeding the annual mean objective of 40μg/m3.

2. Activities and Outcomes

2.1 School Workshop and Assembly

The short 15-minute assembly, delivered at Sir John Heron to the whole student body, gave students and teachers an introduction to the Idling Action project and what we were hoping to achieve at their school. The assembly allowed the students to discuss why clean air is essential for the students of the school and asked them about ways they can avoid and reduce their exposure to pollution and encourage others – family, friends, other students - not to contribute to pollution. Speaking with drivers and asking them not to leave their engine on whilst outside the school was highlighted as an effective way to make a difference, and all students were asked to pass the message on.

The one hour workshop to students, in this case the student council, involved learning about what air pollution is, the sources, and what can be done about it – centralising an anti-idling campaign as an effective way to reduce air pollution they may be exposed to at school. Students then made posters with anti- idling messages, some on which were turned into a banner which can be hung outside the school to prevent drivers idling their engines.

2.2 Idling Action event

The school also take part in an Idling Action event. Utilising community volunteers, teachers and parents, this approach allowed for a further reaching and longer term effect of anti-idling activities. Whilst the parents, teacher and community volunteers joined council staff, councillors and an Idling Action staff member to speak to drivers around the school, the student council had a game of giant snakes and ladders which taught them further abut air quality issues. The school was also provided with a toolkit to host their own Idling Action campaign at a later date, as well as further lesson resources for students to conduct further experiments into air quality.

2.3 Communications and Outreach

As well as the organised activities and events in Year 1, Newham Council extended the reach and therefore the impact of the project through the communications resources that they produced and written for both Council staff and Newham residents. These included

 2 types of flyers to give away to drivers - 10,000 copies printed;

 50 standard anti-idling banners for schools and high streets;

 5 kiddie lollipop anti-idling signs;

 1 giant and 10,000 small air quality themed snake & ladders games to give away to students;

 1000 car stickers to give to drivers pledging to switch their engines off;

 200 action event posters to promote the planned Idling Action event activities;

 1 article about the Sir John Heron School activity in Newham Mag which goes to all Newham residents.

3. Next Steps and Recommendations for Year 2

 We were unable to meet our target of 2 Idling Action and 2 School Workshop events for Year 1. Therefore the target for year 2 has increased from 6 to 7 Idling action events;  We will continue to engage schools and deliver workshop sessions to students, with an increased target of 6 school workshops. 5 schools have already been lined up to receive Idling action events and workshops;

Hartley Primary School 23-Jun-20 Godwin Junior School To be scheduled Winsor Primary School 25-Jun-20

 Due to the current school closures because of the public health crisis, it is not certain whether any of the confirmed dates will go ahead. However, we are currently producing virtual learning resources so that the workshops can be offered to schools whilst closures are preventing physical workshops taking place. In addition, resources will be made available so that when schools are back, they can carry out their own anti-idling campaign if it is not appropriate for us to run a larger scale event;  Year 2 will see the launch of the fleet training programme and therefore Newham’s fleets will be engaged to take part, either through fleet training sessions or fleet training toolkit that is delivered by managers to their drivers;  The fleet training programme will also be offered out wider to business fleet operators based in Newham including hospitals, taxis and coach companies;  Continued communication and advertising of the training and event opportunities is crucial, as well as encouraging businesses to engage with the programme and host their own Idling Action events;  The out of home and digital advertising campaign will launch in the autumn and Newham Council’s advertising spaces will be utilised to ensure the messages of the campaign reach those living and working in the borough;  Continue with a volunteer recruitment campaign utilising Newham council’s own staff, school groups, local campaigning and community and volunteering groups, and local businesses.
