Air Quality
Find out the daily air quality in the North East Lincolnshire area.
Air quality refers to the condition of the outdoor ambient air that we are all exposed to in our every day lives and to the levels of pollutants in the air. Poor air quality means that the level of one or more of these pollutants is elevated and may cause harm to those exposed.
Air quality in the United Kingdom has improved immensley since the infamous smogs of the 1950s. Polluting emissions, attributable to industrial processes represented the main threat to air quality, but since then legislation hass been regularly undated and reviewed to ensure their continual reduction. Local air pollution is, as the name implies, air pollution which is attributed to local polluting sources.
We monitor air quality as it is a requirement by law Under Part IV of The Environment Act 1995. We assess our air quality against the National Air Quality Standards for several pollutants including carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide.
