| الوصف: | Horizon scanning is used to help identify potentially significant societal, economic or technological shifts which if they occurred would have major impacts on society. AQEG generally approaches the science and technology of air pollution either through retrospective analyses – what has happened to air quality and why, - or via future projections. These future projections are generally short to medium term and bounded by well-established science, but it is alsoAQEG’s role to identify evidence gaps that include uncertainties. It is valuable to periodically look beyond established evidence, towards emerging science to identify potential perturbations and assess risks that might plausibly lead to unexpected and large future air quality changes, for example those arising from climatological, technological and behavioural shifts. Since atmospheric chemistry is often non-linear in the generation of secondary pollutants and has dependencies on weather and climate, there exists the potential also for chemical and physical tipping points that may amplify changes in air quality (either positively or negatively). Often unanticipated air quality outcomes occur not because of a single large event but instead through the accumulation or interaction of multiple smaller changes.Air quality outcomes are closely linked to policy and regulation but also to hard-to-predict public choices around transport, diet and lifestyle. A possible impact from these types of future changes can be difficult to capture and often requires in-depth knowledge of the science field.Also noteworthy is that the chemical nature of air pollution is not fixed; it changes over time as sources change reflecting wider regulatory, technological and social trends. New perspectives can also arise from new scientific knowledge. The history of air pollution science is littered with events and discoveries that revealed new risks and required rapid evolution of regulation and policy. Examples include the great smog of London in 1952 and the Clean Air Act of 1956, ... |
