Air pollution monitoring and reporting

We monitor the local air quality of the borough by reviewing busy and congested roads and major industrial processes. We do this as part of the Environment Act 1995 and the National Air Quality Regulations 2000 the Air Quality (Amendment) Regulations 2002.

Air Pollution Monitoring

We monitor at key locations around the Borough. Our results are published by DEFRA.

Reporting

We only do assessments if there is a risk of our air quality objectives being exceeded.

We publish our assessments in our Annual Status Report which includes;

  • Updates of any monitoring data and compares them the objective levels.
  • If there is a risk that air quality objectives will be exceeded, in a place where the public could be affected.
  • Any Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA)
  • Any Action plans to reduce pollution levels
