The Environment Act 1995 (Part IV) requires that all local authorities carry out periodic reviews of the current and likely future air quality in their area. These reviews follow Government guidance that set health-based air quality objectives for a number of key pollutants and target dates for their achievement. The main pollutants of relevance currently for East Suffolk are nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ) and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10 ).

Read more about "Funding boost for biodiversity in East Suffolk"...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.
Read more about "Get involved (doing your bit)"...To meet national air quality objectives, local authorities must regularly review and assess air quality in their areas. 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"...In 2011 East Suffolk Council began monitoring for the air pollutant nitrogen dioxide (from vehicle exhausts) on the A12 at Little Glemham, Farnham and Stratford St. Andrew. The results indicated that the site at Stratford St. Andrew (Long Row, The Street), measuring an annual mean NO2 concentration of 43.3µg/m3, was above the national Air Quality Strategy (AQS) objective – set at 40µg/m3. Additional monitoring was undertaken on the A12 in Stratford St. Andrew which confirmed the exceedance at Long Row. All other locations monitored on the A12 were within the AQS objective.
