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.

If a location is found where the objectives are not being achieved, the local authority must declare the area as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and develop an Air Quality Action Plan to reduce air pollution.
Read more about "Woodbridge Junction AQMA - Revoked"...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.
Read more about "Stratford St Andrew AQMA"...An AQMA was declared in 2009 due to exceedances of the air quality objective for annual mean nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at the Dooley Inn public house, Ferry Lane, Felixstowe. A Further Assessment was completed in 2010 confirming that the AQMA should be retained, and concluding that container handling activities on the Port, and heavy duty vehicles on roads external to the Port made the greatest contribution to NO2 levels within the AQMA.

Previously, these keepers would have been registered with Suffolk County Council under the old Performing Animals (Regulation) Act 1925.
