The Environmental Health Department has carried out air quality monitoring for a limited number of pollutants for several years.

Nitrogen dioxide has been the main focus of monitoring (by passive diffusion tubes), but we are also involved in a national survey of ammonia levels, and we have carried out monitoring of particulate matter (PM 10), during both 2001 and 2005.
