Pollution in the city centre has increased in the last year according to the latest monitoring.The annual report on air quality shows an average increase of 20% across 27 sites.
“The average rise in recorded NO2 levels by city centre diffusion tubes between 2021 and 2022 was 20%.” The first phase of the Low Emission Zone, for buses, has been attributed as an action that helped create a downward trend in pollution from 2018 to 2020 but increasing levels at certain sites has led to justification by some for enforcement commencing for phase two for cars earlier this year.“Airborne particulate matter is more heavily influenced by non-local effects; however, nitrogen dioxide is more directly attributable to local traffic volumes and engine type, particularly diesel engines.
