There is one locally managed automatic monitoring site located in Dover, measuring roadside concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM10). Data from this site can be obtained directly from the Local Authority or from the UK Air Website, through the following URL:

CO2 concentrations are not measured by any Defra managed monitoring networks. Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, are estimated via the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory, available through the following URL:
