Air quality monitoring

The Kent and Medway Air Quality Monitoring Network was formed in 1996 and has developed to be one of the few centrally co-ordinated ambient air quality networks in the UK.

The network provides information on air quality to the Kent local authorities and the public every day on its website.

The data also underpins the air quality review and assessment process that local authorities are required to undertake as part of their duties.

Benefits

  • The monitoring network was established as a way of working in partnership to achieve a cost effective means of providing a continuously updated accurate picture of air quality across Kent and Medway.
  • Monitoring locations include strategically important sites representative of large parts of the county as well as sites where data is required for the purpose of local air quality management.
