About Lars Gidhagen
Consultant in Air Quality
Introduction
My basic education is as an oceanographer, but in 1990 I changed my focus to the atmosphere and its levels of air pollution, especially in urban and industrial environments. I have since worked with the air environment, first as an international consultant – mainly in South America – and from the turn of the millennium as a researcher. Since 2018, I have worked with air quality projects for clients in Sweden, Iceland and Chile via Gidhagen consulting AB. Through the air quality management system AIRVIRO and collaboration with APERTUM AB IT, I have the opportunity to quickly set up databases, analysis and modeling tools of outdoor air quality for any location on Earth. With the help of modeling, both current and future air pollution levels can be evaluated.
Experience
PhD in chemical meteorology.
Head of air quality research at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute 2009-2017.
More than 30 years’ experience as an international air quality consultant, principally in Latin America and Europe.
What I Do
I provide expert consulting and research support in the field of outdoor air quality. My work combines scientific analysis, technical evaluation, and practical implementation — helping organizations, authorities, and research institutions understand, manage, and improve outdoor air quality. Through analysis and dispersion modeling, my focus is to transform complex environmental data into clear, actionable insight.
