Description
Air Quality is the term used to describe and classify the concentration of certain pollutants in the air. These pollutants have the potential to adversely affect human health at elevated concentrations.
Under Part IV of the Environment Act 1995, local authorities are required to review and assess air quality within their areas. The primary objective of this exercise is to identify areas where air quality is unlikely to meet the objectives prescribed in the Air Quality Regulations (Wales) 2007 at locations which are situated outside of buildings or other natural or man-made structures, above or below ground, where members of the public are regularly present.
The Council’s Environmental Health Team is responsible for monitoring air quality within Torfaen.
