The responsibility for the management of local air quality pollutants and climate change gases does not solely lie with central and local government but also with other government agencies such as the Environment Agency and the Highways Agency.

The staff at AQMRC have always worked at the interface of air quality science, technology and policy portfolios, and in doing so, have a long history of working closely with the Environment Agency on a range of research projects and with various other government agencies through portals such as the National Society for Clean Air.

AQMRC can provide advice on identifying the synergisms between government agency and central government policies and through this establish how policy can influence research and vice versa.
