Since 1997 London Borough Bromley has undertaken a rigorous assessment of local air quality, the reports that represent this work can be found in this section. The work carried out is a legal requirement, but more importantly, by monitoring and improving the air quality within the borough we can all enjoy the benefits of a cleaner and safer environment and ultimately a better quality of life.
More recent work has included a detailed assessment of the Nitrogen Dioxide levels within the borough which found in some parts of the borough there are execeedences of the government targets for this target pollutant. What this means in real terms and the full details of the areas affected can be found in the “Air Quality Management Area FAQ - What does it mean” section.
We have also carried out an air quality Updating and Screening Assessment in 2006 that aimed to identify any further potential exceedences of the key pollutants within the borough. The initial findings have identified a need for a further Detailed Assessment of the pollutant PM10 (particles with a diameter of a hundredth of a millimetre or less) as it is possible there may be exceedences of government targets in some areas within London Borough Bromley.
Both the Detailed Assessment and the Updating and Screening Assessment can be viewed in their entirety in this section.
The work carried out is subjected to scrutiny by the GLA (Greater London Authority) and DEFRA (Department Environment Food and Rural Affairs) to ensure that the highest standards are achieved and that there is a consistent approach by all local authorities.
