Overview of Issue
 

One of the main factors that controls the ability of a municipal authority to implement successful measures aimed at improving air quality for their citizens is the amount of resources available to do it. Although not all measures need be heavily resourced financially to be effective the political will for dealing with Air Quality can itself be treated as a resource.

Air quality management covers a very broad range of activities which can be seen as covering a number of different types of action: personnel dependent to equipment dependent; analysis and assessment to implementation of measures; ‘soft’ measures to ‘hard’ measures.

There is, therefore, a very wide range of resources which are desirable for Air Quality Management and they will vary depending on what aspects are being carried out. The key resource which is essential for any successful Air Quality Management programme can be considered to be knowledge. Ultimately the level of available financial resources for Air Quality Management within a municipality is reliant on the support for it. Financial resources are probably the hardest to acquire due to the inevitable competition for them.
