The fourteenth annual report of the London Air Quality Network (LAQN) is now available for download. The report provides a strategic overview of air pollution across London during 2006 and 2007.

Air pollution concentrations in London continued to exceed UK Air Quality Strategy Objective (AQS) and EU Limit Values during 2006 and 2007. Progress towards the attainment of these legislated values varies according to pollutant; successes in the control of CO and SO₂ concentrations contrast with the less successful control of NO₂, PM₁₀ and O₃. During 2006 and 2007 the AQS Objective and EU Limit Value for NO₂ was breached at background sites in inner London and at roadside sites throughout London. The PM₁₀ AQS Objective and EU Limit Value were breached alongside the busiest parts of London’s trunk road network and close to a number of waste management sites.

Printed copies of the report will be sent to all LAQN members. An electronic copy may be obtained from the link below.
