Extra time for entries to National Air Quality Awards

The deadline for entries to the 2018 National Air Quality Awards has been extended by one week to 7 August to allow extra time for submissions.

Taking place this year at London’s iconic cricket venue Lord’s on October 4, the Awards will recognise the hard work and innovation taking place in the public and private sectors to meet the challenge of cleaning up the UK’s air.

Winners of the 2017 National Air Quality Awards

The awards ceremony and dinner will be held shortly after the end of the National Air Quality Conference, which is also taking place at the same venue on that day.

The Conference programme has been announced this month (see airqualitynews.com story) and guests can book a double ticket for both events at a special discounted rate.
