The NO2 results are worth attention regarding variation through the year which I suspect is showing nicely the reduction in traffic pollution as a result of lockdown followed by a return to more normal traffic and levels that are approaching statutory limits particularly in Bath Road, Hardwicke. What is also interesting is that one might expect levels to reduce at more remote places like Haresfield Beacon and Moreton Hill, but even there levels of NO2 are significant. When the particulate sensors are working, the higher levels tend to correlate more with north easterly wind directions, as do sensors elsewhere in the country, and this could be long distance pollution from coal and lignite burning power stations in Poland and eastern Germany. There continues to be no indication of air pollution traceable to the Javelin Park incinerator.
