Introduction to Air Quality

The district councils across Gloucestershire have an extensive network of diffusion tubes to help monitor air quality. These tubes measure nitrogen dioxide and allow us to identify hotspots of poor air quality and address where interventions are needed to reduce pollution. It also helps our communities understand pollution levels where they live or what and help them make changes to reduce their own emissions or pollution exposure. Some districts have monitors for particulate matter also. Please visit individual district council websites for further information.

This year we launched our Air Quality Monitoring Dashboard (Air Quality Monitoring Dashboard | Inform Gloucestershire) which provides annual averages of nitrogen dioxide data across the district monitoring sites.
