Air quality monitoring data

Richmond Council monitor local air quality by the use of both continuous analysers and diffusion tubes.

Diffusion tubes

Diffusion tubes, which are located at a number of sites throughout the borough and monitor nitorogen dioxide, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The diffusion tube results can be veiwed on the following pages:

• Nitrogen dioxide results - diffusion tube sampling
• Benzene results - diffusion tube sampling
