Air Quality
The Environmental Health Division has a number of responsibilities, with respect to air quality including:-
Air Quality Review
and Assessment
The Review and assessment of air quality under the Environment Act 1995
has been completed. A copy is available in request.
Air Quality Monitoring
Since 1990 monthly nitrogen dioxide levels have been monitored. The results,
indicate that recognised standards, have not been exceeded but there are
sites of concern in heavily trafficked areas.
The Borough has two Mobile Air Quality Monitoring Stations . These monitor
particulates, Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide and meteorological conditions.
Data is attached in the form of three monthly reports.
