Air quality assessments are essential elements of design and due diligence studies for various developments including: transportation corridors, research laboratories, industrial facilities and municipal facilities such as wastewater treatment plants, among other sources. While issues related to air quality are often more acute in urban centers or in proximity to the source, long range transport and atmospheric interactions cannot be ignored when considering ambient levels and long term effects. Poor air quality affects human beings directly in terms of health effects and odour annoyance, as well as indirectly in terms of deterioration of the natural habitat.
