Health and air quality
Air pollution is associated with a number of adverse health impacts. Generally if you are young and in a good state of health, moderate air pollution levels are unlikely to have any serious short term effects. However, elevated levels and/or long term exposure to air pollution can lead to more serious symptoms and conditions affecting human health. This mainly affects the respiratory and inflammatory systems, but is also recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer.

Improving air quality in East Suffolk
Generally, the air quality within our district is very good and key pollutant levels are within the limits set by Government for the protection of human health, with the exception of two small localised areas where the national limits set for annual mean nitrogen dioxide (NO2) have been exceeded and Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) are declared:

Get involved (doing your bit)
We are working to meet the challenge of reducing airborne pollutants PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 set by the Government, but success will also require a concerted public effort with each person doing their bit by active travel planning and reducing the reliance on the motor car for travel. This will have other additional benefits as participants will be fitter and healthier by choosing to walk or cycle more regularly and, of course, increased enjoyment of the wonderful East Suffolk landscape.

Biomass boiler information request
In common with other types of combustion appliances, biomass boilers are potentially a source of air pollution. Pollutants associated with biomass combustion include particulate matter (PM10/PM2.5) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. These pollution emissions can have an impact on local air quality and affect human health. It is therefore essential that any new biomass boilers installed in the district meet certain emission control requirements and that numbers are monitored in order to protect local air quality.

Woodbridge Junction AQMA
Detailed Assessment into concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) arising from vehicle exhaust emissions at the junction of Lime Kiln Quay Road, The Thoroughfare, St. John’s Street and Melton Hill in Woodbridge (Woodbridge Junction) were completed in 2005 and concluded that an AQMA should be declared at the junction.

Stratford St Andrew AQMA
History
Concern about the air quality in this area of the A12 led to us monitor levels of nitrogen dioxide (arising from vehicle exhausts) in Farnham, Little Glemham and Stratford St Andrew since 2011. During 2011-2013, the level of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at Long Row in Main Road, Stratford St Andrew consistently exceeded the Air Quality Objective of 40 µg/m3. Levels at all other locations were within the Objective.
