Use cases
Air Pollution & Health Campaigns
Raising the profile of air pollution as a public health issue
How Does STRIAD:AIR Help?
STRIAD:AIR outputs are generated and shared with the public, with co-design sessions to develop messaging suitable for the local context and areas of particular concern (e.g. vehicles, wood-burning). Optionally, workshops can be run by the Tri team to share this information directly with the public.
The Result
Effective campaign materials based on the client’s needs and the public’s concerns are created and shared in a way that increases knowledge and motivation to achieve change.
Safe Walking & Cycling
PreviousAir Pollution & Health Campaigns

Safe Walking
Safe walking and cycling routes
Encouraging the public to choose safe, low-pollution routes for active travel.
How Does STRIAD:AIR Help?
We model air pollution and health effects and map the area along with contextual information about route suitability (e.g. cycle lanes, lighting, green space), showing safer routes with relevant information on why to choose them.
The Result
The target audience is provided with good advice on safe, low-pollution walking and cycling routes with motivational information on the benefits of using them.

Traffic Monitoring
Traffic Monitoring
Reducing vehicle use through the use of air pollution and traffic volume data
How Does STRIAD:AIR Help?
With air quality monitors and traffic sensors, we analyse the correlation between these factors and determine the cases/costs of disease that could be avoided at certain levels of traffic reduction.
The Result
Clients can plan efforts with confidence and communicate their benefits to stakeholders clearly.

Educating children on air pollution and the environment
How Does STRIAD:AIR Help?
We use STRIAD:AIR outputs as part of educational workshops, providing age-appropriate information on the impacts of air pollution near schools and suggesting actions (such as walking or cycling to school).
The Result
Children receive high-quality educational sessions on air pollution and the environment, while optionally sharing their concerns with parents.

Air Quality Mapping
PreviousAir Pollution & School Campaigns
A school or educational authority wants to raise the profile of air pollution as an issue among schoolchildren, either for purely educational purposes or to use “pester power” to engage parents.

Air Quality Maps & Health Impact Layers
Adding health information to publicly available air quality maps
How Does STRIAD:AIR Help?
STRIAD:AIR’s API is integrated with this mapping across suitable areas (based on stakeholder advice and available data).
The Result
Detailed, appropriate information on the health effects of air pollution are available on the map.

Highlighting the short-term risk of air pollution increases
How Does STRIAD:AIR Help?
We can customise Met Office/Copernicus forecast data for specific local areas (based on reference monitors) and provide health information based on spikes.
The Result
High quality specialised forecasting is available and high-salience alerts are generated based on risk to health.

Low Emission Zones Support
Reducing political problems and improving compliance
How Does STRIAD:AIR Help?
STRIAD:AIR models health effects before and after the low emissions zone comes into effect, showing overall improvements in health following the zone’s implementation across the council area (focusing on small areas where opposition is high).
The Result
“Soft opposition” (those who don’t see the need for the zone but aren’t against it on principle) are won over, while advocates have new tools to show the need for this measure.
