Dr Ashley Lloyd attending the United Nations Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee hearing in geneva at which he made a presentation concerning the denial of access to justice in Edinburgh in respect of the residents battle to have full facts and open debate on the environmental and health impacts that can be expected from the ignoring of traffic displacement from main roads into residential streest.

One of the many small diffusion tubes in place to measure air quality in Edinburgh.  They have to be placed high to avoid accidental damage and because pollution is heavier than air, and also because background levels of pollution have to be factored in, the levels recorded are subject to mathematical correction factors before a true reading is obtained.

This has led to disputes after Edinburgh Council's environmental health department were shown by residents to have been applying the factor wrongly and not taking into account the fact that parked cars in the City often mean traffic does not drive near the kerbside gutter but is further away, in the centre of the carriageway.
