Concerning the Council’s stations for monitoring air quality in the City, a member of the public asked where, how frequently and for what gasses measurements are taken.  The Cabinet Member for Environment replied that traffic emissions are monitored using static diffusion tubes which are changed monthly and reports made on the annual average levels of nitrous oxides.  He directed the member of the public to the detailed reports published on the City Council website where a list of monitoring sites may be found, the link for which had already been supplied (https://www.gloucester.gov.uk/environment-waste-recycling/pollution/air-quality/).  The Cabinet Member for Environment expressed his own pleasure in this year’s detected emissions being lower than the last and that they had been below the recognised level for concern for some years.
