BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

All basic and applied research projects related to air quality management issues within British Columbia are eligible for support from the BC CLEAR Fund. Specifically, the Fund supports research relevant to BC that helps further understanding of the nature of air quality, the physical processes involved (atmospheric, emissions, transformations), their effects on the environment and humans, and how they are effectively managed. Research projects are invited relating to (but not be limited to) the following focus areas:
• air quality science processes such as meteorological and atmospheric chemistry
• weather, air quality and ecosystem/health effects models that would lead to more reliable tools used for air quality management decision-making
• identification, quantification and characterizing the space and time variability of emission sources
• monitoring methods that provide cost-effective and accurate measures of emissions, meteorology, ecosystem and human health effects
• emissions control approaches that include clean fuels, improved processes, newer technology and market-driven programs
• links between air quality and ecosystem and human health impacts
• public communication/behaviour-change approaches
• economic valuation of air quality benefits/impacts
• air quality/climate change co-benefits
• air quality management systems
