Review Scientific Board : international review of the Air Quality Innovation Programme (IPL)

The Dutch Air Quality Innovation Programme (Innovatieprogramma Luchtkwaliteit;IPL) was established in 2005 with the purpose of identifying innovative measures which could be used locally to improve air quality alongside motorways in the Netherlands, and developing those measures that exhibited significant air quality benefits to a level suitable for network implementation. This Report provides the main summary in English of the work undertaken within IPL, and presents the findings of an independent Scientific Board which was commissioned to provide advisory and reviewing functions, and to act as a conduit to and from the international research community. The Report describes the background and rationale for the programme, the work conducted, and the findings of the Scientific Board.
